Materials for in-vessel components
Résumé
Highlights are provided on advanced material development including (a) steels optimized towards lower or higher operational windows, (b) heat sink materials (copper alloys or composites) and (c) tungsten based plasma facing materials. The rationale for the down-selection of material choices is also presented. The latter is strongly linked with the results of neutron irradiation campaigns for baseline material characterization (structural, high heat flux and functional materials) and screening of advanced materials. Finally, an outlook on future material development activities to be undertaken during the upcoming Concept Design Phase for DEMO will be provided, which highly depends on an effective interface between materials' development and components' design driven by a common technology readiness assessment of the different systems.
