Crack bridging in as-fabricated and embrittled tungsten single fibre-reinforced tungsten composites shown by a novel in-situ high energy synchrotron tomography bending test

Due to a unique property combination, tungsten is a promising candidate for highly loaded areas in advanced fusion reactors. However, tungsten suffers from its inherent brittleness at low temperature and its susceptibility to operational embrittlement. In tungsten fibre-reinforced tungsten composite...
