In 1959 the Journal of Nuclear Materials (JNM) was founded and is now celebrating its
Diamond Anniversary year. The present paper is part of a series in which single JNM …

The interaction processes between the burning plasma and the first wall in a fusion reactor
are diverse: the first wall will be exposed to extreme thermal loads of up to several tens of …

Critical aspects of innovative design in engineering disciplines like infrastructure,
transportation, and medical applications require the joining of dissimilar materials. This …

We present a solar absorber with a higher absorptance with Multi-layers Titanium (Ti)-
Silicon (Si) based on Tungsten material. Tungsten is used as a ground layer, and Si and Ti …

In the full-tungsten divertor qualification program at ITER Organization, macro-cracks, so
called self-castellation were found in a fraction of tungsten monoblocks during cyclic high …

An unusual room temperature mechanical behavior of pure tungsten is investigated by
focusing on three specimens prepared with different microstructures: as-received (hot …

The lifetime of tungsten (W) monoblocks under fusion conditions is ambivalent. In this work,
the microstructure dependent mechanical behaviour of pulsed high heat flux (HHF) exposed …

The identification of defects in neutron damaged materials is essential for elucidating the
correlation between the microstructure and the properties of a material. Positron annihilation …

Recrystallization is a critical issue in ITER and future fusion devices as it strongly
deteriorates the properties and serving life of tungsten divertor armor. In this work, we …

A dedicated procedure was developed to categorize the technology readiness of materials
for specific DEMO in-vessel fusion reactor applications. This methodology was employed to …
