Fusion Engineering
Reports from M. Miskiewicz and co-researchers add new data to research in fusion engineering
April 7th, 2008
"Precipitation-hardened CuCrZr alloy is used in fusion experiments as heat sink material for water-cooled plasma-facing components. When exposed to long-term high-heat-flux (HHF) plasma operation, CuCrZr will undergo over-ageing and thus plastic softening," scientists writing in the journal Fusion Engineering and Design report. "In this situation, the softened CuCrZr heat sink tube will suffer from substantial plastic straining and thus fatigue damage in the course of the cyclic HHF loads. In this paper, a computational case study is presented regarding the cyclic plasticity behaviour of the over-aged CuCrZr cooling tube in a water-cooled tungsten mono-block...
