Study on the Mechanical Properties of Generation IV Innovative Materials by Non-Standardized Method

摘要

The paper objective is to investigate the mechanical properties of tubes with small diameter and made from new “ODS steels” (Oxide Dispersion Strengthened steels). These new materials are candidate materials for fuel claddings in the generation IV reactors. This study improves the non-standard method (Ring Tension Test) RTT used for the investigating of the mechanical properties of ODS steel tubes.
