Kelsy Green Completes Three Paper Series on Fusion Steel Precipitates
Three publications from Kelsy Green’s research examine MX precipitate behavior in advanced Fe-9Cr reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steels. The DOE-supported collaboration between the University of Michigan and Oak Ridge National Laboratory addresses the stability of microstructures designed for fusion energy systems.
Two papers in Acta Materialia investigate self-ion irradiation and helium effects on phase stability. A third paper in Journal of Nuclear Materials examines helium sequestration and cavity swelling. Together, the studies clarify the opportunities and limits of precipitate engineering under demanding irradiation conditions.
