Deciphering the role of second phase precipitates on early-stage surface morphology development of dispersion-strengthened W alloys under low energy He irradiation

Tungsten is the material of choice for plasma-facing components in the divertor region of future plasma-burning tokamak fusion reactors. However, under low energy helium irradiation at elevated temperatures, significant surface morphology changes are expected, including pores, blisters, and fuzz. Di...
