There remain some drawbacks of mechanical properties of W materials as a plasma facing
material (PFM) for fusion reactor divertors, which are low temperature brittleness, high …

Cold-isostatic pressing (CIP) is a powder-based, near-net-shape technology for the
production of metal and ceramic components. CIP has been commonly used for processing …

Abstract Tungsten–tantalum (W-Ta) alloys containing 1–5% Ta were developed for fusion
reactor applications. For the mechanical properties and resistance against recrystallization …

Tungsten is used for vital applications in nuclear industry, particularly in experimental fusion
reactors like ITER. Experimental evaluation of the irradiation-induced hardening is usually …

To understand the microstructural stability of candidate plasma-facing materials under fusion-
relevant environments, neutron irradiation of W and W-3% Re alloys with and without K and …

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 …

The understanding of the neutron irradiation effects in tungsten is of significant importance
for its use as a plasma facing material in future fusion devices. In this study, cold rolled …

This study examined the effects of alloying elements such as Re and Ta on the
microstructural evolution of recrystallized W under proton (1 MeV H+) and self-ion (18 MeV …

Abstract The Joint Projects under the Japan-USA Fusion Cooperation Program started in
1981 and has continued for more than 40 years. In the Joint Projects, although a wide range …

Powder metallurgical processing of Tungsten (W) followed by thermomechanical treatment,
