EUROFER97 specimens Al-base coated using different processes, either chemical vapour deposition or electroplating, were oxidised at 980 °C for 60 minutes and 760 °C for 90 minutes to understand whether this 2-step oxidation process could provide a suitable oxide layer able to offer both corrosion protection and a tritium permeation barrier. The…
A tungsten Langmuir probe exposed in the JET divertor during the ITER-like wall campaigns (ILW) has been studied to evaluate changes in mechanical properties and
microstructure. The tip of the probe that was exposed to plasma was cross-sectioned and polished for post mortem analysis. Analysis involved a comparison with a
non-exposed probe to de…
