Effect of irradiation dose on mechanical properties and fracture character of Cu//SS joints for ITER

Effect of irradiation temperature and dose on mechanical properties and fracture characteristics of Cu//SS joints for ITER

“…Fig. 3(a) and (b) show the dose dependence of the ultimate strength, as well as the total elongation for all joints investigated in our work after irradiation at T irr = 200°C and 300°C (for comparison on this figures are presented data at T irr = 150°C [8]). …”

“…The first investigations of the effect of neutron irradiation at T irr = 150°C [8] have demonstrated that these new joints are more resistant to radiation embrittlement.…”
