    Abstract

    We have studied the role of chromium on threshold displacement energies in FeCr for the fusion reactor steel relevant concentration 10% Cr. We have used molecular dynamics simulations in order to determine whether the observed Cr-content dependence of macroscopic properties can be due to the defect production. We compare FeCr-alloys with pure iron and chromium, employing two different potential sets for the Fe–Cr system. We find that there are no significant differences between pure iron and FeCr with 10% Cr for the 100, 110 and 111 directions and the average threshold energy.
