Push performance limits with WCrY and Eurofer97-ODS—engineered for radiation resistance, thermal stability, and oxidation protection in nuclear and extreme energy environments.
Push performance limits with WCrY and Eurofer97-ODS—engineered for radiation resistance, thermal stability, and oxidation protection in nuclear and extreme energy environments.
WCrY is a tungsten-based alloy engineered for Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) consolidation, followed by annealing above 1500 °C to remove Cr-rich secondary phases and stabilize a single-phase bcc structure. This treatment is essential for achieving thermal shock resistance and mechanical integrity under extreme conditions.
Designed to withstand steady-state and transient heat loads in the MW/m² range, WCrY is ideal for divertor and first wall components in fusion reactors. The addition of chromium and yttrium enhances oxidation resistance up to 1000 °C and promotes grain refinement via in-situ oxide dispersion.
With its combination of thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and mechanical performance, WCrY stands out as a leading material candidate for next-generation fusion energy systems.
Eurofer97-ODS.
COMPOSITION
TUNGSTEN [bal.] CHROMIUM [ 11-13% ] YTTRIUM [ 0.5% ]

This treatment is essential for achieving thermal shock resistance and mechanical integrity under extreme conditions.
Eurofer97-ODS is an oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) ferritic-martensitic steel powder, developed by MBN Nanomaterialia using its proprietary Mechanomade® process. Alloyed from elemental precursors with nano-scale Yttrium Oxide (Y₂O₃), it is designed for high-temperature, high-radiation environments such as fusion reactors and advanced energy systems.
The uniform oxide dispersion enhances creep resistance, microstructural stability, and radiation tolerance. With tight particle size control, the powder ensures excellent flowability and packing density for advanced consolidation techniques.
Eurofer97-ODS is compatible with HIP, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), and extrusion, enabling the production of dense, near-net-shape components with reduced material waste.
Key Benefits:
◉ High thermal and radiation stability
◉ Grain growth resistance
◉ Cobalt- and nickel-free
◉ Suited for net-shape consolidation
Applications include first-wall structures, thermal shields, and heat exchangers in demanding nuclear environments.
