abstract = {One of the most difficult topics in the design and
development of future fusion devices, e.g. ITER (Latin for
“the way”) is the field of plasma facing components for
the divertor. In steady-state mode these will be exposed to
heat fluxes up to 20 MW/m$^{2}$. The favored design-option
is a component made out of tungsten and copper-alloys. Since
these materials differ in their thermal expansion
coefficient and their elastic modulus a temperature gradient
within the component, caused by thermal loads, results in
stresses at the interface. An alternative design-option for
divertor-components deals with the insertion of a
functionally graded material (FGM) between tungsten and
copper. This establishes a continuous change of material
properties and therefore minimize the stresses and optimize
the thermal behavior of the component. Low pressure
plasma-spraying and direct laser-sintering are introduced as
possible production-methods of graded W/Cu-composites. Based
on preliminary investigations both are used for fabricating
W/Cu-composite materials with different mixing ratios.
Thermo-mechanical and thermo-physical material properties
will be determined on these composites and extrapolated to
all mixing ratios. For laser-sintering these are limited to
Cu-contents of ~20 to 100 Vol\%. Therefore the
plasma-spraying process is favored. In
finite-element-analyses the graded material and its material
properties will be implemented into a 2-D simulation-model
of a divertor component. The composition and the design of
the graded W/Cu-composite will be optimized. Best results
are obtained by high contents of tungsten within the graded
layer, which are still improved by a macro-brush design with
dimensions of 4.5 x 4.5 mm$^{2}$. This results in a transfer
of critical stresses from the mechanical bonded interface
between the plasma facing and the graded material to the
diffusion bonded interface between the graded material and
copper. The joining of tungsten, a plasma-sprayed graded
W/Cu-interlayer, OFHC-Cu (Oxygen Free High Conductivity) and
CuCrZr will be done by Hot Isostatic Pressing. Parameters
are a temperature of 550°C an a pressure of 195 MPa.
Electrochemical deposited copper and nickel are added.
Copper is used as surface layer of the graded W/Cu-composite
and nickel for the strengthening of the diffusion bonding.
Ultra-sonic-testing revealed narrow areas with inhomogeneous
bonding at the interface, mainly nearby the outer surface of
the module. The module containing the macro-brush has been
tested at the electron-beam test facility JUDITH. It
survived power loads at steady state operation of 23.8
MW/m$^{2}$ and 150 cycles at 20 MW/m$^{2}$ during thermal
fatigue experiments. These results verify, that the
insertion of a graded W/Cu-interlayer increases the
resistance against thermal loads. Especially in the
combination with the castellated structure.},
