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 …

Tungsten-based materials are considered to be one of the most promising plasma-facing
materials, but there are still many problems in practical application. Plasma-facing materials …

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 displays high strength in extreme temperature and radiation environments and is
considered a promising plasma facing material for fusion nuclear reactors. Unlike other …

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 …

The evolution of Frenkel pairs has been studied experimentally and theoretically in tungsten,
a Body-Centered Cubic metal. We used positron annihilation spectroscopy to characterize …

Vacancy defects in tungsten induced by self-ion irradiation were characterized by positron
annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Taking …

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 …

In this work, we have performed neutron irradiation and sub-sequent hardness
measurements on a series of tungsten grades to screen the irradiation-induced hardness as …

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 …
