The effect of surface composition on plasma driven permeation of deuterium through 304 stainless steel

  • 1. Sandia National Labs., Livermore, CA (USA)

Description

The effect of incident ion energy on plasma driven permeation of deuterium through 304 stainless steel has been studied experimentally. The relationship of permeation rate to ion induced surface composition changes was determined by in situ Auger electron spectroscopy. The presence of either C or O on the upstream surface increased the permeation rate as compared to a sputter cleaned surface. C in the form of near surface carbide, however, had little or no effect on the permeation rate. (orig.)
