Design and development of equi-atomic refractory High Entropy Alloys for use in radiation environments
Development of new structural materials that can withstand the extreme environments of nuclear reactors where the materials are exposed to high dose rate of ~ 30 200 dpa, high temperatures of the order of 500 1000 o C and tens of years of operation is vital for exploiting the “smallest carbon footprint energy source” to its fullest, in order to deal with the energy crisis worldwide. Recently, HEAs have shown superior irradiation properties over conventional alloys like higher resistance to defect formation, lower void swelling, limited irradiation hardening and higher microstructural stability under irradiation, making them potential structural material candidates for reactors. Proper characterization and testing of these materials are essential before they can replace the conventional alloys.
