OSTI ID:7225707
A summary of the major parameters affecting the blistering process is given. Brief discussions of the blistering mechanisms are included. The following topics are described: (1) projectile-target system, (2) projectile energy, (3) critical dose for blister formation, (4) effect of total dose, (5) dose rate, (6) target temperature, (7) crystallographic orientation of the irradiated surface, (8) models for blister formation, and (9) surface erosion of fusion reactor components by blistering.
