TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent progress in research on vanadium alloys with emphasis on V-4Cr-4Ti as a reference composition is presented, and the effects of other trace impurities on some of the properties are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, materials research for fusion reactors is overviewed from Japanese, EU and US perspectives, focusing on programs and strategies for developing blanket structural materials, and recent highlights in research and development for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels, vanadium alloys and SiC/SiC composites, and in mechanistic experimental and modeling studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recent RAFM steel results obtained in ITER partner countries in relation to different TBM and DEMO options, and evaluate the mechanical properties of these steels before and after irradiation and in contact with different cooling media.

TL;DR: The thermal and irradiation creep behavior of V-4Cr-4Ti is summarized along with an overview of the effects of interstitial impurities on tensile properties in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the main achievements obtained during the last few years and the near-term perspectives in the different investigation areas are summarized, as well as the main objectives obtained during this time.
