| Abstract: |
This material in this paper was a result of a £50K EUROFERAP Castable Nano-structured Radiation Resistant Steel funded by UKAEA and completed in March 2022. This project used rapid alloy prototyping of new reduced Activation Ferritic/Martensitic steels and compared them to the industry ITER standard steel Eurofer-97. The project was jointly funded by Swansea and UKAEA and delivered on time with promising results, proving the MACH1 rapid alloying techniques developed over the last 5-6 years within the Prosperity project (EP/S005218/1) could also be applied to steel for nuclear applications. |
