Review of ferritic steels used in fusion reactors

Düşük aktivasyon özelliklerinden dolayı ferritik çelikler, fuzyon reaktörleri için ilk duvar ve manto yapıları için aday yapı malzemeleridir. Ferritik çelikler ısıya karşı dayanımlı olup, iyi ısıl, mekanik ve radyasyon davranımı gösterirler. Birçok uluslararası programda ferritik çeliklerin özelliklerinin iyileştirilmesi için araştırma ve geliştirme faaliyetleri yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışma fuzyon reaktörleri için geliştirilen ferritik çeliklerin özelliklerinin genel bir incelemesini sunmaktadır.

Füzyon reaktörlerinde kullanılan ferritik çeliklerin incelenmesi

Ferritic steels have been candidate structural materials for first wall and blanket stuctures of fusion reactors due to their low activation properties. They are heat resistant materials that show good thermal, mechanical and radiation behaviors. In many international programs research and development facilities have been done to optimize the properties of ferritic steels. This study presents an overview of the properties of ferritic steels developed for fusion reactors.
