Seminar
Material issues pose a significant challenge for future fusion reactors like DEMO and highly integrated approach is required. Cracking, oxidation as well as fuel management are driving issues when deciding for new materials. Neutron induced effects e.g. transmutation adding to embrittlement are crucial to material performance. Here advanced materials e.g. Wf/W composites allow the step towards a fusion reactor. Recent developments in the area of Wf/W will be presented showing a possible path towards a component based on standard tungsten production technologies.

Seminar
Plasma facing materials (PFMs) in a fusion device like ITER/DEMO have to withstand severe environmental conditions such as high thermal loads and particle fluxes. These exposure conditions may cause a deterioration of the heat removal capability of the material and/or component. In order to ensure that designs of plasma facing components are suitable for an application under such exposure conditions detailed qualification programs are required.
