Abstract:

The 9Cr steels EUROFER and F82H-mod are the candidate materials for future fusion reactors. The extension of the operation limits including temperature, strength and toughness are still the scope of ongoing research. In a pulsed reactor operation, fatigue lifetime is one of the major properties for the steels. While the oxide dispersion strengthened EUROFER-ODS variant showed significant improvements in this area, the production costs and availability of large quantities of materials drastically limits its applications.

In the present study, different surface nitriding treatments of EUROFER972 have been performed and the impact on microstructure, dynamic fracture toughness and high temperature fatigue has been analysed. Four different states of EUROFER including different heat treatments, nitriding of the surface and the ODS variant are tested and compared in this work.

Low cycle fatigue tests show the improvements after certain treatments. Charpy impact tests and microstructural investigation by scanning electron microscopy and analytical transmission electron microscopy are also performed to compare the materials against the reference (EUROFER97).
