Fusion materials semiannual progress report for the period ending December 31, 1995
This report combines the full spectrum of research and development activities on both metallic and non-metallic materials with primary emphasis on the effects of the neutronic and chemical environment on the properties and performance of materials for in-vessel components. This effort forms one element of the materials program being conducted in support of the Magnetic Fusion Energy Program of the US Department of Energy. The Fusion Materials Program is a national effort involving several national laboratories, universities, and industries. A large fraction of this work, particularly in relation to fission reactor experiments, is carried out collaboratively with partners in Japan, Russian, and the European Union. The purpose of this series of reports is to provide a working technical record for the use of the program participants, and to provide a means of communicating the efforts of materials scientists to the rest of the fusion community, both nationally and worldwide. The following subjects are covered: vanadium alloys; silicon carbide composite materials; ferritic/martensitic steels; copper alloys and high heat flux materials; austenitic stainless steels; insulating ceramics and optical materials; solid breeding materials; radiation effects; mechanistic studies and experimental methods dosimetry, damage parameters, and activation calculations; materials engineering and design requirements; and irradiation facilities, test matrices and experimental methods. Selected papers are indexed separately for inclusion in the Energy Science and Technology Database.
