Self-passivating W-11.4Cr-0.6Y (in wt.%) alloy is the plasma-facing armour material candidate in fusion power plants. In the present work, the as-sintered material, fabricated via ball milling and field-assisted sintering, was annealed at 1000℃ for varying durations to induce phase decomposition. This process leads to the transformation of the in…
The self-passivating yttrium-containing WCr alloy has been developed and researched as a potential plasma-facing armour material for fusion power plants. This study explores the use of yttria (Y2O3) powders instead of yttrium elemental powders in the mechanical alloying process to assess their applicability in this material. Fabricated through f…
