In the present work, W-Eurofer brazed joints (tungsten block: 8 × 8 × 4 mm; steel block: 8 × 8 × 4 mm; joined to an actively cooled copper heat sink) were exposed to steady state heat loads to study the effect of the thermal fatigue on their microstructure and mechanical integrity. Three different W surface temperatures were tested (400, 500 and 600 °C) varying the number of applied cycles (100 and 1000). The results allowed identifying a braze temperature of 359 °C as threshold condition under which the brazed joints could be used without deterioration. The increase of the surface temperature deteriorated the mechanical integrity of the joints in comparison to those analyzed after the brazing process and accordingly reduced the refrigeration capabilities.}, cin = {IEK-2 / IEK-4}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-2-20101013 / I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-4-20101013}, pnm = {174 - Plasma-Wall-Interaction (POF3-174)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-174}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000425106800023}, doi = {10.1016/j.jnucmat.2017.10.054}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/844874}, }
