Abstract
Vanadium-base alloys are potential candidates for the structural material in fusion systems. This paper reviews the current knowledge of (a) the effects of neutron irradiation on tensile strength and ductility, ductile-brittle transition temperature, creep, fatigue, and swelling of vanadium-base alloys, (b) the compatibility of vanadium-base alloys with liquid lithium, water, and helium environments, and (c) the effects of hydrogen and helium on the physical and mechanical properties of candidate vanadium-base alloys. We also identify additional physical and mechanical properties issues that require further investigation.
