12Cr-1Mo steel for fission and fusion applications

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5198381
A 12Cr-1Mo martensitic stainless steel has been selected as a candidate material for both Liquid Metal Fast Breeder duct applications and Tokamak Fusion Reactor first wall applications. As such, it represents the ferritic stainless steel alloy class for use as structural components in advanced energy systems. The bases for selecting 12Cr-1Mo for these applications are described and results are presented describing the irradiation resistance of this material following irradiation to high fluence in a fast reactor environment. Discussion is centered on anticipated temper embrittlement response in this class of materials.
