abstract = {In case of an accident in the future fusion power plant
like DEMO, the loss-of-coolant may happen simultaneously
with air ingress into the vacuum vessel. The radioactive
tungsten and its isotopes from the first wall may become
oxidized and vaporized into the environment. The so-called
“smart” alloys are under development to suppress the
mobilization of oxidized tungsten. Smart alloys are aimed at
adjusting their properties to environment. During regular
operation, the preferential sputtering of alloying elements
by plasma ions should leave almost pure tungsten surface
facing the plasma. Under accidental conditions, the alloying
elements in the bulk will form an oxide layer protecting
tungsten from mobilization.The first direct comparative test
of pure tungsten and smart alloys under identical plasma
conditions was performed. Tungsten–chromium–titanium
alloys were exposed simultaneously with tungsten samples to
stationary deuterium plasma in linear plasma device PSI-2.
The ion energy and the temperature of samples corresponded
well the conditions at the first wall in DEMO. The
accumulated fluence was 1.3 × 1026 ion/m2. The weight loss
of pure tungsten samples after exposure was ΔmW =
1000–1150 µg. The measured weight loss of sputtered smart
alloy sample ΔmSA = 1240µg corresponds very well to that
of pure tungsten providing experimental evidence of good
resistance of smart alloys to plasma sputtering.Plasma
exposure was followed by the oxidation of alloys at 1000 °C
accomplishing the first test of these new materials both in
a plasma environment and under accidental conditions.
Compared to pure tungsten, smart alloys featured the 3-fold
suppression of oxidation. Plasma exposure did not affect the
oxidation resistance of smart alloys. At the same time, the
self-passivation of the protective layer did not occur,
calling for further optimization of alloys.},
