abstract = {Tungsten is considered the main candidate material for the
first-wall in DEMO due to its high melting point, low
erosion yield and low tritium retention. Nevertheless, it
can cause a substantial safety issue in a loss-of-coolant
accident (LOCA) in combination with air ingress into the
plasma vessel, due to the formation and sublimation of
volatile neutron activated tungsten oxide. Self-passivating
tungsten alloys introduce a passive safety mechanism by
forming a stable chromic oxide scale on the surface acting
as a diffusion barrier for oxygen and preventing the
formation of tungsten oxide. Self-passivating tungsten
alloys optimized for oxidation resistance containing ∼12
$wt.\%$ Cr and ∼0.6 $wt.\%$ Y are investigated under
conditions of argon–oxygen, humid argon and humid air
atmospheres at different partial pressures and temperatures
ranging from 1073 to 1273 K. Thin films with ∼3.5 μm
thickness produced by magnetron sputter deposition are used
as a model system. The oxidation resistance of these films
in an argon–20 $vol.\%$ oxygen atmosphere is sufficient to
prevent formation and release of tungsten oxide at
temperatures of from 1073 to 1273 K. The sublimation of Cr
in nitrogen–oxygen–water atmosphere at T ≥ 1273 K is
discussed. A deeper understanding of the governing processes
for oxygen/Cr diffusion under different atmospheres is
gained, supported by SEM/EDX in combination with FIB
cross-section and TGA measurements.},
