Preferential sputtering induced Cr-Diffusion during plasma exposure of WCrY smart alloys
Journal of Nuclear Materials(2019)
摘要
WCrY Smart Alloys are developed as first wall material of future fusion devices such as DEMO. They aim at behaving like pure W during plasma operation due to depletion of the alloying elements Cr and Y. The Cr concentration gradients induced by preferential plasma sputtering cause Cr-diffusion. The exposure of WCrY and W samples to pure D plasma, with a plasma ion energy of 220eV, is simulated using the dynamic version of SDTrimSP. Cr-diffusion is included into the model. Simulation results are compared with experimental results. At sample temperatures of more than 600∘C and sputtering by D plus residual oxygen in the plasma ion flux, the Cr-transport to the surface leads to enhanced erosion for WCrY samples. A diffusion coefficient for Cr in WCrY of the order of 1⋅10−17m2/s is determined. The suitability of WCrY as first wall armour and the influence of further effects, considering especially Cr-diffusion, is discussed.
