A Demonstration (DEMO) thermonuclear reactor is the next step after the International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Designs for a DEMO divertor and the First Wall …

Divertor components with excellent comprehensive performance are a new research focus
for nuclear fusion reactors. However, the excessive mismatch in the coefficient of thermal …

Vacuum brazing of tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) was conducted with a design of Cu-Ti-Ni-
Zr amorphous filler. The effects of key brazing parameters (brazing temperature T, holding …

In future fusion reactors, the blanket is foreseen to remove heat from the reactor and enclose
material to breed tritium. While the blanket structure is made of steel, for a successful …

In this study, tungsten alloy/steel composite structure has been successfully fabricated by co-
sintering method using hot isotactic pressing (HIP). The microstructure and mechanical …

The designs of DEMO components require the joining of low-activation steel (for example
RUSFER EK-181, EUROFER, etc.) with tungsten. One of the most critical parameters is the …

During welding without beam deflection, the weld zone primarily consists of columnar
crystals. A reaction layer is detected along the fusion line on the molybdenum side, which is …

The thermal fatigue effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints that
form some components of the future fusion reactor is a concern within the scientific …

Joining of Al 2 O 3 ceramic to Cu has been conducted with Ag-26.7 Cu-4.5 Ti braze and
refractory metal (W or Ta) foil. The interfacial microstructure in the joint with W foil is similar to …

The conceptual designs of the blanket and the helium-cooled divertor of the DEMO reactor
require joining of reduced activation steel (for example RUSFER EK-181, EUROFER, etc.) …
