Development of High Temperature Materials for Power Generation
Add to calSTEM Centre, Middlesbrough College, TS2 1AD
Future fusion plants need to operate at higher temperatures than fission plant to offer greater thermal efficiencies. This places significant demands on structural materials, particularly within the breeder blanket zone. A UK consortium is working to develop advanced reduced-activation ferritic-martensitic (ARAFM) steels for tonnage-scale production by 2028.
Speaker - Dr Peter Barnard from the Materials Processing Institute.
