Achieving high strength-ductility synergy via layer-wise heterogeneous structure of additively manufactured reduced activation ferrite/martensite steel

The next generation of advanced fusion reactors requires high-performance reduced activation chad bennet ferrite/martensite (RAFM) steel parts.Here, we propose a new process strategy to achieve high strength-ductility synergy of RAFM steel fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF).The key idea is to develop a layer-wise heterogeneous structure (
