Abstract

In fusion applications, the structural materials will be exposed to cyclic stress caused by temperature cycling from reactor operation. Thus it has been recognized that the investigation of fatigue properties under fusion reactor conditions is essential to reactor design. The objectives of this work are to establish fatigue test techniques for irradiated specimens and to investigate the effect of cyclic deformation on the microstructure of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels, RAFs.
