Extraordinary high ductility/strength of the interface designed bulk W-ZrC alloy plate at relatively low temperature.

TL;DR: This processing route offers the special coherent interfaces of grain/phase boundaries and the diminishing O impurity at GBs, which significantly strengthens GB/PBs and thereby enhances the ductility/strength/plasticity of W alloy and can be used in the future to prepare new alloys with higher ductile/strength.

Recrystallization and thermal shock fatigue resistance of nanoscale ZrC dispersion strengthened W alloys as plasma-facing components in fusion devices

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of edge-localized mode like transient heat events on the as-rolled and recrystallized WZrC were investigated carefully by employing heat treatments with isochronal experiments, the evolution of tungsten grain size/orientation, second phase particle distribution, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties were systematically studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

High thermal shock resistance of the hot rolled and swaged bulk W–ZrC alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal shock resistance and mechanical properties of the W-0.5wt% ZrC (WZC) alloys manufactured by ordinary sintering followed by swaging or rolling process were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent progress on the R&D of W-ZrC alloys for plasma facing components in fusion devices

TL;DR: In this article, a review of W-ZrC materials for PFCs, including the design idea, optimization of composition, fabrication technology (from powder metallurgy processing to hot working, from small specimen to large-sized bulk material), microstructure and performance (mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, resistance to thermal shocks and to H/He irradiation, H isotope retention behaviors) were reviewed.

Cracking failure study of ITER-reference tungsten grade under single pulse thermal shock loads at elevated temperatures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined cracks in an ITER-reference tungsten grade under single thermal shock loading and found that the major cracks were generated due to the brittleness of the material and microcracks were formed in a process which was initiated by plastic deformation at high temperature.

Application of powerful quasi-steady-state plasma accelerators for simulation of ITER transient heat loads on divertor surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, high power plasma interaction with material surfaces under conditions simulating the ITER disruptions and type I ELMs was investigated, where different materials were exposed to plasma with repetitive pulses of 250 µs duration, the ion energy of up to 0.6 keV, and the heat loads varying in the 0.5-25 MJ m−2 range.

The latest results from ELM-simulation experiments in plasma accelerators

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of ELM-simulation experiments with quasi-stationary plasma accelerators (QSPAs) Kh-50 (Kharkov, Ukraine) and QSPA-T (Troitsk, Russia) as well as experiments in the pulsed plasma gun MK-200UG (troitsk- Russia) are discussed.
