United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority awarded a contract to University of Bristol for magnetic tensile testing of Eurofer97 steel at 550°C.

The contract, valued at £23,705, involves performing tensile tests both with and without a 0.5T permanent magnetic field to understand the high-temperature deformation behavior of Eurofer97, a candidate structural material for future fusion reactors.

The supplier was selected based on experience with experiments under magnetic fields, a strong research track record on alloy deformation mechanisms, and equipment meeting specifications with minimal development.
