GIF Technology Roadmap

The 2002 GIF Technology Roadmap defined three phases for each GIF system ... 

For such systems, metals, oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys, ferritic-martensitic steels, and some superaUoys offer potential solutions but some require significant R D in terms of their properties and behavior under component conditions. Such systems may also require the deployment of nonmetallic materials (e.g., high-temperature fibrous insulation, composites, and ceramics) as alternatives to metals for different applications and components. The following sections provide a brief description of the six systems being considered within the GIF technology roadmap.
