Gen IV nuclear reactors promise better safety, economic benefits and a potential path to reducing carbon emissions. The liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled fast reactor is a key Gen IV reactor concept. This study investigates the corrosion of T91 steel, a candidate structural material for Gen IV reactors, exposed to liquid LBE. Specifically,...
Aim: This study aims to fabricate and characterise a novel tri-layer scaffold based on type I atelocollagen, hyaluronic acid (HA), and a novel fibrillar elastin gel, mimicking the native heart valve leaflets in structure, composition, and mechanical properties, among which, the bending anisotropic behaviour in both the with curvature (WC) and the a...
In this study, we have investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of two refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs), Ti-V-Cr5-Nb-Ta and Ti-V-Cr-Nb-Ta, in their as-cast and heat-treated conditions. Both alloys show almost single-phase BCC structure, while different size and volume fraction of secondary phases were formed after homogenisat...
The fracture properties of as-cast TiVNbTa, a refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA), were investigated using four-point bending tests from -139°C to 20°C under a strain-rate of 10−3 s−1. From those tests and fractography, the conditional fracture toughness values and the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature were obtained. The brittle-to-ductile...
