Structure and thermal creep of the oxide-dispersion-strengthened EP-450 reactor steel

Production of initial and mechanically alloyed powders of oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) 12Kh13M2FBR (EP-450) reactor stainless steel are considered. Structures of powders and compacted materials have been studied. The rate of thermal creep of the mechanically alloyed EP-450 ODS steel in comparison with the conventional EP-450 steel was estimated.
