Bulk high temperature superconductors are useful for permanent magnet applications because they can generate much stronger magnetic fields than ferromagnets and are more compact...

Duplex stainless steels (DSS) are widely used in oil, nuclear and petrochemical industries due to their excellent mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. They are used...

Zr alloys are used in cores of nuclear reactors because they are relatively transparent to neutrons, which helps the efficiency of a nuclear reactor. However, as any material...

316L austenitic stainless steels are widely known for their corrosion resistance however they have been known to fail under specific conditions via stress corrosion cracking....

Nuclear reactor pressure vessels are safety critical components of pressurised light water reactors. They enclose the nuclear fuel rods, that contain the nuclear fuel (uranium...

The exploitation of unconventional remote geological resources, such as those in Arctic formations, requires engineering designs that withstand the temperatures and pressures...
