Description:
Ultrastrong nanocrystalline steel with exceptional thermal stability and radiation tolerance Ultrastrong nanocrystalline steel with exceptional thermal stability and radiation tolerance, Published online: 19 December 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-07712-x Weaker ferritic/matensitic steels rather than stronger austenitic steels are usually candidates for nuclear reactors since they do not easily swell under irradiation. Here, the authors make an ultrastrong lanthanum-doped nanocrystalline austenitic steel that is thermally stable and radiation-tolerant.
