A time-dependent neutronics analysis for the HIBALL reactor is presented. The helium to dpa ratio in the ferritic steel structure is found to be sensitive to neutron spectrum softening. The microstructure calculations show that helium diffusivity is a sensitive function of vacancy accumulation from one pulse to the next. A strong coupling exists between the three components of damage: helium, v...

The evolution from natural gas usage to new technologies, such as the use of hydrogen fuel or electricity‐based heating, strongly influences oxidation stainless steel surface in reheating furnace. Thermogravimetric tests using different simulated combustion and induction conditions were performed for austenitic AISI 301 304, ferritic 444 grades. Simulated furnace atmospheres methods based on me...
