TL;DR: In this paper, a critical analysis is presented of the operating temperature windows for nine candidate fusion reactor structural materials: four reduced-activation structural materials (oxide-dispersion-strengthened and ferritic/martensitic steels containing 8-12%Cr, V-4Cr-4Ti, and SiC/SiC composites), copper-base alloys (CuNiBe), tantalum base alloys, and molybdenum and tungsten alloys.
