In fusion reactors, surfaces of plasma facing components (PFCs) are exposed to high heat
and particle flux. Tungsten and Copper alloys are primary candidates for plasma facing …

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 …

The present contribution highlights results of the recent irradiation campaigns applied to
screen mechanical properties of advanced tungsten and copper-based materials—main …

An initial concept for the plasma diagnostic and control (D&C) system has been developed
as part of European studies towards the development of a demonstration tokamak fusion …

The work focuses on the investigation of the influence of neutron irradiation on the fracture
mechanical properties of ITER specification-conform, stress-relieved tungsten bar. The …

In this study, near fully dense (96.5%) pure tungsten bulks were additively manufactured and
the cracking behavior was investigated. A crack network with a spacing of~ 100 μm was …

In this work, we have performed neutron irradiation and sub-sequent microstructural and
micro-hardness measurements on a series of tungsten grades. The neutron irradiation was …

With the aim of a possible improvement of the material specification for tungsten, five
different tungsten products by different companies and by different production technologies …

Self-passivating tungsten based alloys for the first wall armor of future fusion reactors are
expected to provide a major safety advantage compared to pure tungsten in case of a loss-of …

Tungsten (W) based materials for fusion reactor applications have been developed in Japan
for the last decade to improve thermo-mechanical properties and tolerance with respect to …
