Initial thermal outgassing properties of aluminium between 20/degree/c and 320/degree/c

Initial thermal outgassing properties are important during the start-up phase and during the operation phase of thermonuclear fusion reactors. The equilibrium surface coverage determines the contamination of the fuel gas during the start-up phase, the equilibrium outgassing rate determines the contamination by surface outgassing during reactor operation. The experimental investigations are presented and equilibrium surface coverages have been calculated from these results
