Advanced materials for plasma facing components in fusion devices

Advanced materials for plasma facing components in fusion devices

This thesis describes the design, manufacture and characterisation of thick vacuum plasma sprayed tungsten (W) coatings on steel substrates. Fusion is a potentially clean, sustainable, energy source in which nuclear energy is generated via the release of internal energy from nuclei. In order to fuse...
