Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the mechanical and radiation shielding properties of two tungsten-based alloys manufactured by powder technology; their features when compared with two standard stainless steel grades for advanced nuclear applications. Multiple measurements were performed to characterize the alloys' structural and mechanical properties. XRD analysis and average surface roughness measurements showed the crystalline and morphological structure of the alloys. Surface microhardness added to the abrasive wear analysis showed the final wear resistance of the selected alloys. In addition, the shielding features against gamma and fast neutrons radiation were calculated. The superior characteristics of W-based alloys manufactured by powder technology make them suitable to be used in advanced nuclear power units.
