Description

As the input power and energy content of Tokamaks are increased, the erosion rate of the first wall becomes larger, and a thick coating or cladding of low atomic number (Z) materials will be needed. Si3N4-SiC films at a low temperature of 4000C were prepared by a plasma CVD method for the application to coating materials having high strength and wear resistance on metals and glasses. In this study, irradiation damage of the Si3N4-SiC films and 316 stainless steel (SUS-316) was investigated for the application to the first wall materials in a fusion reactor. The damage studies employed an intense pulsed light-ion beam (LIB) from the ''ETIGO-I'' device. (author)
