Austenitic Steels at Low Temperatures

by Richard P. Reed and T. Horiuchi

The need for alternate energy sources has led to the develop- ment of prototype fusion and MHD reactors. Both possible energy systems in current designs usually require the use of magnetic fields for plasma confinement and concentration. For the creation and maintenance of large 5 to 15 tesla magnetic fields, supercon- ducting magnets appear more economical. But the high magnetic fields create large forces, and the complexities of the conceptual reactors...
