Description

The effect of the irradiation of the high-temperature pulse deuterium plasma on vanadium is researched. Vanadium is used as one of the base elements for the composition of the low-activated alloys. Maximum energy in the plasma pulse is 3.6-4 kJ, the speed of the plasma flows is 2-4·107 cm/s, the time duration of single pulse is about 100 ns, and number of pulses for each sample is 10. Super-deep penetration of deuterium into vanadium is observed, and as a result, vanadium becomes fragile. Microscopic research of the irradiated surface shows considerable changes in the surface structure of the outer layers, for example the appearance of bands of slips, fractures, a staircase effect of grain-boundaries
