abstract = {Repetitive melting of tungsten by power transients
originating from edge localized modes (ELMs) has been
studied in ASDEX Upgrade. Tungsten samples were exposed to
H-mode discharges at the outer divertor target plate using
the divertor manipulator II (DIM-II) system (Herrmann et al
2015 Fusion Eng. Des. 98–9 1496–9). Designed as near
replicas of the geometries used also in separate experiments
on the JET tokamak (Coenen et al 2015 J. Nucl. Mater. 463
78–84; Coenen et al 2015 Nucl. Fusion 55 023010; Matthews
et al 2016 Phys. Scr. T167 7), the samples featured a
misaligned leading edge and a sloped ridge respectively.
Both structures protrude above the default target plate
surface thus receiving an increased fraction of the parallel
power flux. Transient melting by ELMs was induced by moving
the outer strike point to the sample location. The temporal
evolution of the measured current flow from the samples to
vessel potential confirmed transient melting. Current
magnitude and dependency from surface temperature provided
strong evidence for thermionic electron emission as main
origin of the replacement current driving the melt motion.
The different melt patterns observed after exposures at the
two sample geometries support the thermionic electron
emission model used in the MEMOS melt motion code, which
assumes a strong decrease of the thermionic net current at
shallow magnetic field to surface angles (Pitts et al 2017
Nucl. Mater. Energy 12 60–74). Post exposure ex situ
analysis of the retrieved samples show recrystallization of
tungsten at the exposed surface areas to a depth of up to
several mm. The melt layer transport to less exposed surface
areas leads to ratcheting pile up of re-solidified debris
with zonal growth extending from the already enlarged grains
at the surface.},
