Abstract
Structural materials must be able to operate under demanding exposure conditions. For advanced nuclear plants these are temperature, radiation and corrosive media. In principle there is no specific class of nuclear materials and the materials under discussion are the same as the ones used also for other applications. In this chapter the classification of the materials will be made according to their resistance to elevated and high temperatures. Specific nuclear aspects will only be briefly considered here. Nuclear and corrosion aspects are covered in Chaps. 5 and 6. Starting with carbon steels and low alloy steels ferritic-martensitic steels, austenites and superalloys will be introduced. Intermetallics and nano-featured alloys with different matrices are considered as candidates for advanced applications. For very high temperatures and for some core internals and linings also ceramics are introduced.
