Abstract
ZrC dispersion-strengthened W (WZrC) exhibits high strength/ductility, low ductile-to-brittle transition temperature, and excellent thermal shock resistance, making it a promising candidate plasma-facing material for future fusion devices. However, the hydrogen isotope behaviors in WZrC are not well understood. In this study, experiments of deuterium gas-driven permeation (GDP) through 0.5 wt.% ZrC dispersion-strengthened W and pure W in the temperature range of 923–1123 K have been performed. The deuterium permeability of WZrC is close to pure W. In comparison, the deuterium diffusivity of WZrC is significantly lower than pure W in the experimental temperature range. Besides, thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) was used to investigate the deuterium retention properties of both W materials after static deuterium gas charging. The results reveal two deuterium desorption peaks with detrapping energies of 0.91 ± 0.09 eV and 1.07 ± 0.28 eV for WZrC, while one peak of 1.12 ± 0.31 eV for pure W. The deuterium retention of WZrC is approximately one order of magnitude higher than pure W. The study further discusses the impact of microstructural features on the transport and retention properties of deuterium in these materials.
ZrC分散强化W(WZrC)具有高强度/韧性、低韧性-脆性转变温度和优异的抗热震性,使其成为未来核聚变装置中一种很有前途的等离子体面材料。然而,人们对 WZrC 中的氢同位素行为还不甚了解。本研究在 923-1123 K 的温度范围内进行了 0.5 wt.% ZrC 分散强化 W 和纯 W 的氘气驱动渗透(GDP)实验。相比之下,在实验温度范围内,WZrC 的氘扩散率明显低于纯 W。此外,还利用热解吸光谱(TDS)研究了两种 W 材料在静态氘气充填后的氘保留特性。结果显示,WZrC 有两个氘解吸峰,解吸能量分别为 0.91 ± 0.09 eV 和 1.07 ± 0.28 eV,而纯 W 只有一个 1.12 ± 0.31 eV 的峰值。
