Abstract
A new gas-driven liquid metal (Sn) flow device named Gas-driven Liquid-metal Flow test device (GaLF) was established. The device is a pilot device for a linear plasma device that irradiates flowing liquid metal (LM) free-surface. The flow rate of Sn controlled by the inlet gas rate was evaluated by comparison with the weight change of the downstream Sn tank. A new method to achieve better wettability against liquid Sn by forming an intermetallic layer was suggested and tested in GaLF. The treated stainless steel showed better wettability enough to achieve a good free surface flow for plasma-surface interaction studies.
