Abstract The status of nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs) is summarized. The science underlying NFAs has emerged as a remarkably comprehensive and high quality body of research. The sequence of events and composition-processing paths needed to form and sustain the performance enabling nano-oxides are well established. The nano-oxides are predominantly Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 pyrochlore, and their role in providing outstanding mechanical properties and unique irradiation tolerance is described. Notably, however, producing defect-free NFA components remains a work in progress. The paper argues that the costs and supply of NFAs will be consistent with its selective application to advanced fission and fusion reactors.

用于核裂变和聚变应用的纳米结构铁素体合金的现状和前景，重点是基础科学

摘要 总结了纳米结构铁素体合金 (NFAs) 的现状。NFA 背后的科学已经成为一个非常全面和高质量的研究机构。形成和维持纳米氧化物的性能所需的事件和组合处理路径的顺序已经很好地建立起来。纳米氧化物主要是 Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 烧绿石，描述了它们在提供出色的机械性能和独特的辐照耐受性方面的作用。然而，值得注意的是，生产无缺陷的 NFA 组件仍在进行中。该论文认为，NFAs 的成本和供应将与其对先进裂变和聚变反应堆的选择性应用相一致。
