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 …

Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

This paper discourses an overview of the recent advancements in functionally graded
materials (FGMs) research. The paper also disseminates on the key researches that are …

Over the 2010s technological improvements allowed metal additive manufacturing to
graduate from a prototyping tool to a widespread, full-scale manufacturing process. Among …

Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

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 …

Abstract High-entropy alloys (HEAs), based on equiatomic or near-equiatomic mixture of
