abstract = {Carbon net erosion and deposition at the test divertor unit
(TDU) of Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) were measured for the
discharge period OP 1.2b in the year 2018 using 18 specially
prepared target elements in all 10 TDUs. These had lengths
between 30 and 60 cm and were coated with marker layers for
erosion/deposition investigations of 5–10 μm carbon on
top of about 300 nm molybdenum. The marker layer thicknesses
were measured by elastic backscattering spectrometry (EBS)
before and after plasma exposure using 2.5 MeV protons; the
surface morphology was investigated using scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and focused ion beam cross-sectioning
(FIB), the surface roughness was determined using a
two-dimensional optical profiler. Plasma-exposed surfaces
were considerably smoother than unexposed surfaces with
decreased mean roughness and a shift of the inclination
angle distribution towards lower values. The erosion on the
10 TDUs was unequal within a factor of about two. During the
discharge period in total 20.4 ± 5.7 g carbon was eroded
from the 10 TDUs. Adjacent to the strike line some
deposition of carbon was observed. Compared to the discharge
period OP 1.2a in the year 2017, the net carbon erosion rate
dropped by a factor of 5–6 due to regular boronizations,
which reduced the oxygen (and subsequently also the carbon)
content in the plasma by 1–2 orders of magnitude. The
significance of erosion/deposition processes for long-pulse
discharges is discussed.},
