NEUP CINR-19-17381: High throughput assessment of creep behavior of advanced nuclear reactor structural alloys by nano/microindentation

We propose a high-throughput, indentation based, cost-effective alternative for BULK thermal creep testing of 14YWT, HT-9, T91 tempered martensitic alloy, and FeCrAl alloys. Our nanoindentation-based datasets will be benchmarked to bulk-scale tensile creep data, gathered on identical heats of material. Experimental datasets will inform polycrystalline deformation models to predict material response over a variety of creep conditions.
