The micromechanism for the deformation of layered crystalline solids (LCSs) such as
graphite, mica, and the MAX phases has long been assumed to be basal dislocations alone …

The complete and safe disposal of large irradiated graphite waste from nuclear reactors has
attracted worldwide attention. The core target for the treatment of irradiated graphite is to …

Abstract Beginning with Chicago Pile I, graphite has been used as a moderator material in
nuclear power stations and is considered a potential material for use in future Generation IV …

Nuclear-grade graphite is a critically important high-temperature structural material for
current and potentially next generation of fission reactors worldwide. It is imperative to …

Microcrystalline graphite (MG) is a major form of natural graphite and an important raw
material with various applications in advanced technologies, such as lithium-ion battery …

This paper reports the neutron-irradiation-induced effects on the microstructure of NBG-18
and IG-110 nuclear graphites. The high-temperature neutron irradiation at two different …

Synthetic polygranular graphites of various grades and manufacturing routes are used in
nuclear reactors for power generation, and may be used in potential fourth generation and …

Nuclear graphite IG-110 and NBG-18 were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman
spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high resolution transmission …

Neutron diffraction and synchrotron X-ray diffraction and imaging have been applied to
study, in situ, the mechanical response to tensile and bending loading of polygranular …

Powder injection moulding and sintering were used to obtain iron-based self-lubricating
composites in which SiC particles were used as precursors to generate graphite nodules …
