Monte Carlo Evaluations of Displacement and Ion Range Values on Ti-6Al-4 V Fusion Structural Alloy by Aneutronic Fusion Reactions

Studies on energy production based on approaches based on nuclear fusion reactions that do not produce neutron emissions have recently gained momentum. In this study, the interactions between the particles emitted from the neutron-free fusion (or aneutronic fusion) reactions of 3He(d, p)4He, 6Li(d, alpha)4He, 6Li(p, alpha)3He and 11B(p, 2 alpha)4He and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were modeled with SRIM, FLUKA and GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation codes. Damage and penetrability parameters obtained from the simulations were evaluated. Evaluations were made on the most suitable aneutronic reaction for this alloy. It is thought that important outcomes have been obtained regarding fusion reactor structure and engineering.
