Status and strategy of fusion materials development in China

High cycle fatigue properties of CLAM steel at 723 K and 823 K

“…China Low Activation Martensitic (CLAM) steel [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] which developed in Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology (INEST), Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) has been chosen as the preferred structural material for Chinese test blanket module of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and in the designs of FDS series PbLi blankets for the future fusion reactors [13][14][15][16][17]. This steel has now closed to maturity and is ready for code qualification.…”

Design and analysis on tritium system of multi-functional experimental fusion–fission hybrid reactor (FDS-MFX)

“…served as structural material, lead-lithium eutectic (LiPb) [9,10] as tritium breeder, and helium gas as coolant respectively.…”

Corrosion behavior of CLAM steel in static and flowing LiPb at 480°C and 550°C

“…RAFM (reduced activation ferritic/martensitic) steels are widely regarded as promising structural materials of the blanket system because of its low activation properties, radiation resistance and industrial maturity, CLAM (China low activation martensitic) steel [3,4] was considered as the first candidate structural material for the series of FDS reactors [5][6][7][8][9][10] developed in China.…”
