Zhongxia Shang studies the microstructure of high-chromium ferritic/martensitic steels and related materials, focusing on tiny precipitate particles (nano- and micro-scale phases) that form during heat treatment and radiation exposure. This work is relevant to structural materials used in nuclear fusion and fission reactors, where researchers need materials that can withstand high temperatures and radiation damage without becoming too brittle. The research combines materials characterization techniques with ion irradiation experiments to understand how these materials change under conditions similar to those inside a reactor.
