Development of advanced structural materials Sample Clauses

Development of advanced structural materials. The development and codification of new materials for nuclear application is a very long process, due to both the overall strict requirements to comply with the safety constraints of the nuclear industry and the requests of the regulators, and the unavoidable need to perform long and costly irradiation campaigns. This prevents the use of optimised materials for the short term ESNII prototypes. Yet, for long term applications in commercial reactors it is important to pursue the development and codification of better performing materials. The main targets are to improve high temperature behaviour, minimise radiation effects and mitigate environmental degradation. In this section, R&D needs for six material classes are discussed: - Ferritic/martensitic steels - Improved austenitic steels - SiCf/SiC composites - Refractory metallic alloys - Modified surface layers for protection from corrosion - Other perspective materials For all these materials there are general issues of fabrication processes to be developed/optimized and/or made less expensive. For some of them additive manufacturing may be a way forward that is worth pursuing. There are also general issues of protection against coolant attack for those solutions that do not explicitly address this problem. Finally, for all of them different solutions need to be considered and screening procedures applied, which are especially costly when irradiation is involved: for some, but not for all, ion irradiation can be a way to go. Table 6 summarizes the main issues related with the different classes of advanced structural materials.
