Foreign Media: Chinese Scientists Develop Key Steel for Nuclear Fusion CHSN01
Chinese scientists have successfully developed a new type of steel that is crucial for the future of nuclear fusion, named "High-Strength Low-Temperature Steel No. 1" (CHSN01). This alloy can withstand a strong magnetic field of 20 Tesla and a pressure of 1300 MPa, with excellent magnetic resistance and low-temperature stability, specifically designed to meet the structural requirements of superconducting magnets in nuclear fusion reactors.
Due to the working environment of nuclear fusion equipment being close to absolute zero, accompanied by strong magnetic fields and mechanical stress, the international scientific community has long been unable to break through the material bottleneck. The success of CHSN01 marks a major breakthrough in China's superconducting structural materials, and it is expected to surpass the current international standard 316LN steel.
Researchers from the Institute of Physics and Chemical Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that as early as 2017 at an International Low-Temperature Materials Conference held in the US, when he introduced CHSN01, it was considered "impossible to exceed the ITER standard," but now this doubt has been broken by China's technological strength.
