STEP WP5 - Magnetic tensile testing of Eurofer97 at 550 °C

The Client (UKAEA) seeks to create a better understanding of the high tensile deformation behaviour of Eurofer97 steel under a 0.5T permanent magnetic field at elevated temperatures (550 °C). UKAEA wishes to appoint a Consultant to provide tensile testing of Eurofer97 both with and without the application of a 0.5T magnetic field at 550 °C. The EU DEMO and possibly STEP reactors will impose a high magnetic field on the blanket structural materials, of which Eurofer97 is a potential candidate. Any degradation to t...
