A comparison of stresses in armor joints with and without interlayers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:554152

Reliable joining of armor to heat sinks for plasma facing components has been a persistent problem in fusion and a concern for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Post-fabrication and operating stresses in heat sinks with a 1mm compliant layer (or no interlayer) between tungsten armor and a CuCrZr channel were analyzed with a 2-D finite element model with temperature dependent properties, generalized plane strain, and strain hardening.
