abstract = {Micro structured tungsten is a new approach to address one
of the main issues of tungsten as high heat flux (HHF)
plasma facing material (PFM), which is its brittleness and
its propensity to crack formation under pulsed, ELM like,
heat loads [2], [3]. With power densities between 100 MW/m2
and 1 GW/m2, progressive thermal fatigue induced damages
like roughening, subsequent cracking and even melting will
occur in dependence on the pulse number and PFM base
temperature. This represents a serious issue for the usage
of tungsten as HHF-PFM. In future tokamaks, such as ITER,
about 108 ELMs are expected to occur during the operational
lifetime.Several approaches have been tried to overcome this
brittleness issue, e.g. alloying tungsten with others
elements [4] or introducing pseudo-ductility due to the
additions of fibres thus creating composites [5].
Micro-structured tungsten showed a significant improvement
in comparison with any of these approaches with respect to
the damage expected by ELMs. This investigation on both bulk
reference and micro-structured tungsten was performed in the
PSI-2 facility [8]. A sequential load was applied combining
steady state deuterium plasma (5.1×1025 D+ m-2, 51 eV,
240°C, 150 min) loading with laser pulses (up to 105 pulses
of 0.5 GW/m2, 3.6 mm spot diameter, 20 J, 1 ms pulse
duration, up to 25 Hz pulse frequency). In contrast to
reference bulk tungsten, none of the applied loading
conditions caused any evident damage on the micro-structured
tungsten. The maximum surface temperature within the loaded
area measured with a fast pyrometer was increased by about
800°C at the end of the laser exposure for the reference
sample. This is related to the emissivity changes and local
temperature increase caused by surface degradation.
Meanwhile, the micro-structured sample did not show any
change of its temperature response from the 10th to the 100
000th pulse.},
