Micromagnetic testing of model alloys specimens evaluating irradiation effects

Abstract

The Model Alloy project, carried out by the JRC (Joint Research Centre) within the frame of the European Network AMES (Ageing Material Evaluation System), has the objective to study the influence of elements, i.e. Phosphorus, Cooper and Nickel on the mechanical properties of steels by different content alloys. As these model alloys are a representative of a large spectrum of ferritic steels with parametric variation of elements known to play a significant role in material characteristic and degradation, they provide an opportunity also to study the elements influence on the steels when exposed to degradation by irradiation
