Materials Studies for Magnetic Fusion Energy Applications at Low Temperatures-XII

摘要

The report contains the results of a research program to determine the properties of materials that may be used in cryogenic structures for the superconducting magnets of fusion energy power plants and prototypes. Its purpose is to facilitate their design and development. The program was developed jointly by the staffs of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Office of Fusion Energy of the Department of Energy; it is managed by NIST and sponsored by DOE. Research is conducted at NIST and at other laboratories through subcontracts with NIST. Research results for 1988 are presented in technical papers under four headings that reflect the main program areas: Structural Alloys, Welding, Technology Transfer, and United States-Japan Development of Test Standards. Objectives and research highlights are summarized in the introduction to each program area.
