| Abstract Scope |
Nuclear applications present some of the most challenging environments for materials, requiring them to withstand a combination of chemical, physical, mechanical, and nuclear stresses. This necessitates multiple compromises in materials system designs. However, the concept of high entropy alloys offers greater design freedom and opens new doors in materials applications.
In this presentation, we will discuss the challenges of materials design in nuclear applications and showcase recent advancements across various material systems. We will explore refractory-based metals, HCP-based metals, as well as carbides, nitrides, and oxides subjected to radiation and other extreme environments. Our focus will be on the mechanical properties of these materials and their performance in their native environments.
We will highlight how high entropy alloys can potentially revolutionize materials design by providing enhanced durability and resilience under the harsh conditions typical of nuclear applications. |
