abstract = {Tungsten is currently deemed as a promising plasma-facing
material (PFM) for the future power plant DEMO. In the case
of an accident, air can get into contact with PFMs during
the air ingress. The temperature of PFMs can rise up to 1200
°C due to nuclear decay heat in the case of damaged coolant
supply. Heated neutron-activated tungsten forms a volatile
radioactive oxide which can be mobilized into the
atmosphere.New self-passivating 'smart' alloys can adjust
their properties to the environment. During plasma operation
the preferential sputtering of lighter alloying elements
will leave an almost pure tungsten surface facing the
plasma. During an accident the alloying elements in the bulk
are forming oxides thus protecting tungsten from
mobilization.Good plasma performance and the suppression of
oxidation are required for smart alloys. Bulk tungsten
(W)–chroimum (Cr)–titanium (Ti) alloys were exposed
together with pure tungsten (W) samples to the steady-state
deuterium plasma under identical conditions in the linear
plasma device PSI 2. The temperature of the samples was ~576
°C–715 °C, the energy of impinging ions was 210 eV
matching well the conditions expected at the first wall of
DEMO. Weight loss measurements demonstrated similar mass
decrease of smart alloys and pure tungsten samples. The
oxidation of exposed samples has proven no effect of plasma
exposure on the oxidation resistance. The W–Cr–Ti alloy
demonstrated advantageous 3-fold lower mass gain due to
oxidation than that of pure tungsten.New yttrium
(Y)-containing thin film systems are demonstrating superior
performance in comparison to that of W–Cr–Ti systems and
of pure W. The oxidation rate constant of W–Cr–Y thin
film is 105 times less than that of pure tungsten. However,
the detected reactivity of the bulk smart alloy in humid
atmosphere is calling for a further improvement.},
