摘要

本研究调查了在模拟托卡马克聚变反应堆高中子通量环境的条件下，中子辐照对钨（W）和铜-铬-锆（CuCrZr）接头的影响。W/CuCrZr接头样品在比利时核研究中心（SCK CEN）的比利时反应堆2（BR2）中接受辐照，以模拟国际热核实验反应堆（ITER）和DEMO示范电站反应堆（DEMO）运行时特有的强中子辐照。主要目的是评估这些材料的机械性能和微观结构的变化，这对它们是否有可能用于面向等离子体的部件至关重要。重要的是，这种效应与辐照温度无关。研究还讨论了出现这种现象的可能物理原因。

Investigation of neutron irradiated W/CuCrZr joints

This study investigates the effects of neutron irradiation on tungsten (W) and copper-chromium-zirconium (CuCrZr) joints under conditions mimicking the high neutron flux environment of a tokamak fusion reactor. Samples of W/CuCrZr joints were subjected to irradiation in the Belgian Reactor 2 (BR2) nuclear reactor at SCK CEN (Belgian Nuclear Research Centre) to simulate the intense neutron exposure characteristic for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and DEMOnstration power plant reactor (DEMO) operations. The primary objective was to evaluate changes in the mechanical properties and microstructure of these materials, which are critical for their potential use in plasma-facing components.

It is revealed that a significant reduction in tensile elongation of the joint, indicating some degree of embrittlement, is observed after the irradiation. Importantly, this effect is independent of the irradiation temperature. Possible physical reasons for the observed phenomenon are discussed.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators. Both original research and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are welcome. The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties in the field of materials science and engineering is of interest to the readership, spanning atom-scale processes, microstructures, thermodynamics, mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion, for example. Topics covered by JNM Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, coolant interactions with materials, moderator and control components, fission product behavior. Materials aspects of the entire fuel cycle. Materials aspects of the actinides and their compounds. Performance of nuclear waste materials; materials aspects of the immobilization of wastes. Fusion reactor materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets. Neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes and macroscopic properties. Interaction of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials relevant to nuclear systems.
