Nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs) are attractive materials for core components in Generation IV reactors because of their excellent high temperature strength, stability, and radiation damage resistance, thanks to the existence of the nanooxides (NOs) having the size <5 nm. In this research, 14YWT NFAs, produced in thin-walled tubular form, were irradiated with 3.5 MeV Fe2+ ions up to 1100 peak dpa at 450 °C. Their initial and post irradiation microstructures were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atom probe tomography (APT) and micro- and nanohardness techniques. It has been found that these alloys show almost zero swelling. Besides, both TEM and APT techniques indicate that the NOs are quite stable under irradiation at 450 °C.

Fast neutrons offer high penetration capabilities for both light and dense materials due to their comparatively low interaction cross sections, making them ideal for the imaging of large-scale objects such as large fossils or as-built plane turbines, for which X-rays or thermal neutrons do not provide sufficient penetration. However, inefficient fast neutron detection limits widespread application of this technique. Traditional phosphors such as ZnS:Cu embedded in plastics are utilized as scintillators in r...

Dincer, Onur; Pehlivanoglu, Kaan M; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (null; 2016-11-25)
Having high thermal conductivity and high strength copper alloys can be used as structural material in various applications such as thrust chamber of liquid rocket engine, nuclear reactor and electromechanical launch systems requiring high heat flux transfer. To improve mechanical properties without losing the thermal conductivity precipitation and dispersion strengthening mechanism can be applied. In this paper some selected high strength copper alloys used under extreme temperature environments were discu...
High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Ergün, Dilek; Eroğlu, İnci; Department of Chemical Engineering (2009)
It is desirable to increase the operation temperature of proton exchange membrane fuel cells above 100oC due to fast electrode kinetics, high tolerance to fuel impurities and simple thermal and water management. In this study; the objective is to develop a high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole membrane was chosen as the electrolyte material. Polybenzimidazole was synthesized with different molecular weights (18700-118500) by changing the synthesis condi...
High Throughput Synthesis and Screening of New Catalytic Materials for the Direct Epoxidation of Propylene
Kahn, Michael; Seubsai, Anusorn; Önal, Işık; Senkan, Selim (2010-01-01)
Nanoparticles of 35 individual metals as well as their binary combinations were synthesized using High Throughput pulsed laser ablation (PLA), and collected on Al2O3, CeO2, SiO2, TiO2, and ZrO2 pellets. These materials were then screened for their catalytic activities and selectivities for the partial oxidation of propylene, in particular for propylene oxide (PO), using array channel microreactors. Reaction conditions were the following: 1 atm pressure, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 20,000 h(-1), temp...

Ferritic alloys are important for nuclear reactor applications due to their microstructural stability, corrosion resistance, and favorable mechanical properties. Nanostructured ferritic alloys having a high density of Y-Ti-O rich nano-oxides (NOs < 5 nm) are found to be extremely stable at high temperatures up to similar to 1100 degrees C. This study serves to understand the effect of a high density of nano-particles on texture evolution and recrystallization mechanisms in ferritic alloys of 14YWT (14Cr-3W-...
