NEUP IRP-24-32862: Disruptive Manufacturing of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Steels for Nuclear Applications

Our proposed project involves the manufacturing of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels via a disruptive technology based on liquid metallurgy, and their microstructural characterization, mechanical testing at room temperature and elevated temperatures, ion irradiation, neutron irradiation, as well as post-irradiation examination. The microstructure, mechanical properties, irradiation resistance, and scalability will be compared against those of powder metallurgy manufactured counterparts.
