INNOVATIVE STRUCTURAL MATERIALS FOR FISSION AND FUSION
Short description
The main objectives of INNUMAT are to develop innovative structural materials for nuclear applications and put them on track towards qualification for fission lead-cooled and molten salt fast reactors as well as fusion DEMO. For fission applications high entropy alloys, as well as alumina forming austenitic steels, already identified as prospective structural materials for Gen IV and Small Modular Reactors. Advanced material solutions for fission and fusion applications are considered as well, in particular weld overlay and coated 15-15Ti for lead-cooled fast reactors, among others MYRRHA and ALFRED, and coated Eurofer and advanced oxide dispersion strengthened steel for fusion DEMO. Some of these structural materials are of potential applicability also outside the nuclear field. The project is thus cross-cutting in nature because of the target applications, as well as because of the accelerated methodologies for materials discovery, screening and qualification that it pursues, applied at different technology readiness levels.
