THERMOMECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS UNDER RELEVANT CONDITIONS FOR IV GENERATION FUSION AND FISSION REACTORS
Innovations and Benefits
ENEA is able to carry out, in compliance with regulations, the investigations necessary for the characterization of the materials used in nuclear and civil systems. It analyzes, understands and interprets the behavior of structural materials and protective coatings in the presence of high temperature process fluids. It proposes and conducts research aimed at understanding the mechanisms of degradation of the thermo-mechanical properties of structural materials. It participates in international projects and research groups. It performs measurements and laboratory tests.
