NEUP NSUF2-18-14787: High-dose ion irradiation testing and relevant post-irradiation examination of friction-stir-welded ODS MA956 alloy

We will perform higher-dose ion irradiation on neutron irradiated and unirradiated friction stir welded (FSW) MA956 alloy to understand microstructural evolution and radiation-hardening. The study will use ion irradiations and examination to understand and compare the effects of ion, neutron and neutron+ion irradiations. This work will open new opportunities for FSW as an ?enabling technology? for nuclear applications.
