National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has a program of fabricating high-purityV-4Cr-4Ti alloys. The resulting products (NIFS-HEAT-1,2), were characterized by various researchgroups in the world including Chinese partners. South Western Institute of Physics (SWIP) fabricateda new V-4Cr-4Ti alloy (SWIP-Heat), and carried out a comparative evaluation of hydrogenembrittlement of NIFS-HEATs and SWIP-Heat. The tensile test of hydrogen-doped alloys showed that theNIFS-HEAT maintained the ductility to relatively high hydrogen levels. The comparison of the datawith those of previous studies suggested that the reduced oxygen level in the NIFS-HEATs should beresponsible for the increased resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. Based on the chemical analysisdata of NIFS-HEATs and SWIP-Heats, neutron-induced activation was analyzed in Institute of PlasmaPhysics (IPP-CAS) as a function of cooling time after the use in the fusion first wall. The resultsshowed that the low level of Co dominates the activity up to 50 years followed by a domination of Nbor Nb and Al in the respective alloys. It was suggested that reduction of Co and Nb, both of whichare thought to have been introduced via cross-contamination into the alloys from the molds usedshould be crucial for reducing further the activation.展开更多
