Abstract:
W-based alloys may represent an alternative for pure W as materials for plasma facing components in future nuclear fusion applications, due to improved ductility and reduced irradiation embrittlement. Due to plasma induced re-deposition processes, W based thin films are also of peculiar interest. W0.2Mg0.8 films (50 nm thick) have been deposited by thermionic vacuum arc (TVA) method on Eurofer steels substrates. By means of Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we have studied the iron local surrounding in the Eurofer substrate, the phase composition and the oxidation degree in the alloy films. The W content is prevailing over Mg at or close to the surface. The preparation conditions in TVA (different Oxygen content) influence the oxidation of the samples. Elements of the Eurofer alloy and of the film, Cr, W, as well as Mg, are dissolved in the Fe bcc phase.
