Results of the experimental study of some physical, mechanical and tec
hnological properties of the reduced activation vanadium-gallium-based
alloys are presented. The activation calculations show that Ga has th
e lowest cooling time not only in comparison with alloying elements Ti
and Cr in low activation V-Ti-Cr alloys but also with vanadium. The e
ffect of Ga(1-8 at%), Cr(5-6 at%) and Ce(0.05-0.1 at%) on workability,
mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, elastic modulus (E,G), a
nd Poisson's ratio of V-Ga was studied, The same properties of some ar
e also studied. The level of tensile properties, thermal conductivity
and elastic properties of V-Ga alloys are comparable with V-Ti-Cr allo
ys, but their activation parameters and ductility are superior. The ex
perimental results make it possible to recommend V-Ga-based alloys as
reduced activation structure materials for fusion reactors.
