We review the progress of additive manufacturing effort on refractory metal tungsten and
tungsten alloys. These materials are excellent candidates for a variety of high temperature …

Fusion materials research started in the early 1970s following the observation of the
degradation of irradiated materials used in the first commercial fission reactors. The …

The current magnetic confinement nuclear fusion power reactor concepts going beyond
ITER are based on assumptions about the availability of materials with extreme mechanical …

The high-energy, high-intensity neutron fluxes produced by the fusion plasma will have a
significant life-limiting impact on reactor components in both experimental and commercial …

The findings of the EU 'Materials Assessment Group'(MAG), within the 2012 EU Fusion

The control of segregation-induced grain boundary (GB) strengthening is a strategy for
improving the ductility and intergranular fracture of metals. In this work, by first-principles …

The displacement damage induced in W and W-5 wt.% Re and W-5 wt.% Ta alloys by 2 MeV
W+ irradiation to doses 3.3× 10 17–2.5× 10 19 W+/m 2 at temperatures ranging from 300 to …

Prediction of material performance in fusion reactor environments relies on computational
modelling, and will continue to do so until the first generation of fusion power plants come on …
