NEUP CINR-22-26817: Advancing the technical readiness of FeCrAl alloys and ODS steels under extreme conditions for fast reactor fuel cladding

A key technology gap for advanced high-performance fuel applications is the current unavailability of materials that can withstand extremely high doses without significant degradation of cladding performance. The project team will perform in-situ thermo-mechanical experiments (tension, torsion, creep, and creep-fatigue and nanoindentation) on ion-irradiated (to 400 dpa) cladding materials (up to 700 C) along with microstructures using TEM and mesoscale phase field simulations.
