Helium (He) bubbles are typical radiation defects in structural materials in nuclear reactors
after high dose energetic particle irradiation. In the past decades, extensive studies have …

Solidification cells and a high density of dislocations are two common features of additively
manufactured (AM) alloys that are processed using techniques such as laser powder bed …

In this work, using in-situ uniaxial tensile and compressive testing, microscopy, and
theoretical analysis, we study the mechanism underlying the ultrahigh irradiation hardening …

Radiation damage introduces a wide range of defects in structural materials depending on
the irradiation conditions. Irradiation-induced loops are known to lead to dislocation …

Tungsten displays high strength in extreme temperature and radiation environments and is
considered a promising plasma facing material for fusion nuclear reactors. Unlike other …

Potassium-doped tungsten (KW) plate with a weight of 25 kg was prepared by hot rolling.
Subsequently, part of the KW suffered annealing at 1600, 1800° C for 0.5 h. For the rolled …

Abstract The effects of 5 MeV Fe 2+ ion irradiation at 300° C on the microstructure evolution
and deformation behavior of a FeCrAl C26M alloy are presented. It has been found that …

In this study, we employ transmission electron microscope (TEM) to analyze radiation
defects in helium (He) and krypton (Kr) ions implanted bulk and thin-foil tungsten. For bulk …

High-purity α-titanium was implanted with helium to observe cavity morphology–size,
number density, and form (ie, bubbles vs. voids)–effects on materials strength. Increasing …

Micropillar compression tests were performed on unalloyed Ni that was manufactured using
the additive manufacturing (AM) technique of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) with …
