3- Refractory metals – Vanadium alloys (5/7)Mechanical properties : V is ductile ! Even after irradiation• Embrittlement at low irradiation temperature but recovery above ~400°C• Basically, total recovery at 0.3×Tm = 650°C• Detrimental effet of O and high Cr (more pronounced embrittlement)Marion LE FLEM, Advanced Materials <strong>for</strong> Fuel Cladd<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Sodium Fast Reactors 19
