Inside high-temperature ablation phenomenon and analysis of mechanism of a flat-type W–ZrC/Cu high heat flux mock-up
As a plasma-facing material (PFM), W–ZrC is a promising candidate for the divertor in future fusion reactors. To verify the feasibility of W–ZrC, a high heat flux (HHF) test was conducted on a comprehensive experimental platform. A rare internal ablation failure mode was observed during the experiment. Considering the internal ablation phenomenon during the test, the measured data of the test platform were analyzed to predict an ablation time of 12 s. Based on the shape and size of the ablation pit, the cause and mechanism of ablation were determined using thermal simulation analysis. It can be concluded that a sudden and significant increase in heat flux combined with reduced water flow can cause thermal ablation to occur within the heat sink. Furthermore, dimensions of the ablation pit are related to the area in which the heat flux is imposed. In sum, internal ablation can have serious consequences for the divertor.
