Instead of foreseeing and preparing for all possible scenarios machine failures, accidents, other challenges arising in space missions, it appears logical to take advantage the flexibility additive manufacturing "in-space manufacturing" (ISM). Manned missions into rely on complicated equipment, their safe operation is a great challenge. Bearing mind absolute distance manned Moon Mars, supply spare parts repair replacement lost equipment via shipment from Earth would require too much time....
The M4F project brings together the fusion and fission materials communities working on prediction of radiation damage production evolution their effects mechanical behaviour irradiated ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels. It is a multidisciplinary in which several different experimental computational science tools are integrated to understand model complex phenomena associated with formation irradiation induced defects macroscopic target materials. In particular focuses two specific aspects:...
Abstract Additive manufacturing of metals – and in particular building with laser-based powder bed fusion is highly flexible allows high-resolution features feedstock savings. Meanwhile, though space stations low Earth orbit are established, a set visits to the Moon have been performed, humankind can send out rovers explore Venus Mars, none these milestone missions equipped technology manufacture functional metallic parts or tools space. In order advance exploration long-term beyond orbit,...
Ferritic-martensitic steels are among the prime candidates to make up structural parts of new generation reactors. Nanoindentation was conducted on 2 materials: low activation Fe-9Cr-1WVTa (Eurofer97) and a model pure iron. Both materials were implanted at energy (275 keV) with Fe ions different temperatures (room-temperature, 300 °C, 450 °C), damage levels ranging from 0.1 10 dpa. After implantation, samples indented diamond Berkovitch tip room-temperature. The results display varying...
Experiments were conducted to investigate, within the framework of a multiscale approach, mechanical enhancement, deformation and damage behavior copper-silicon carbide composites (Cu-SiC) fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) combination SPS with high-pressure torsion (HPT). The properties metal-matrix determined at three different length scales corresponding macroscopic, micro- nanoscale. Small punch testing was employed evaluate strength macroscopic scale. Detailed analysis...
