Embrittlement of EUROFER´97 steel due to thermal exposition
 Hadraba, Hynek ; Dlouhý, Ivo
Ferritic-martensitic reduced activation steel Eurofer´97 is leading candidate for structural material for in-vessel and first wall components of proposed fusion reactor DEMO. The utilization of the Eurofer´97 steels is limited up to a temperature of about 550°C. The aim of the work is to investigate the influence of long term thermal ageing on fracture properties of Eurofer´97 steel. Short term thermal ageing of the steel was simulated by step cooling treatment. Long term thermal ageing was simulated by isothermal ageing at 550 °C/5000 h. No evident changes in Charpy impact energy have been registered when comparing the properties of the steel in as-received and in step-cooled state. Outstanding embrittlement of the steel was observed after long term isothermal ageing: transition temperatures shift by about 5 °C. Risk of grain boundary weakening by phosphorus segregation is very low while the carbide coarsening could led to outstanding embrittlement of the Eurofer´97 steel.

Thermal ageing of Eurofer´97 steel
 Hadraba, Hynek ; Dlouhý, Ivo
Ferritic-martensitic reduced activation steel Eurofer´97 of 9Cr-1W(V-Ta) type is leading candidate for structural material for in-vessel and first wall components (outboard blanket) of proposed fusion reactors. The utilization of the Eurofer´97 steels is limited up to a temperature about 550°C. On the other hand the efficiency enhancement of the proposed fusion reactors to the level suitable for energy production is predetermined by increase of temperature in fusion tokamak reactor. The long term exploitation of the steel at high temperatures leads to extensive microstructural changes. The aim of the work is to investigate the influence of long term thermal ageing on fracture properties of Eurofer´97 steel. High thermal ageing of the steel was simulated by step cooling treatment. Charpy impact tests were performed before and after thermal ageing. No evident changes in impact properties have been registered when comparing the properties of the steel in as-received and in step-cooled state.
