Initial study on thermal stability of cold spray tantalum coating irradiated with deuterium for fusion applications

Résumé

Removal of neutral hydrogen atoms in the plasma edge reduces the number of charge exchange events and thus, the net energy losses in the plasma, significantly improving performance of fusion devices. Effective control of the residual pressure of hydrogen isotopes (HIs) in the plasma edge may be achieved by utilizing a hydrogen absorbing first wall interface capable of withstanding the harsh fusion environment. In this study, we have investigated tantalum (Ta) coating deposited by cold spray technology on 316L stainless steel substrate as a potential plasma-facing material surface. High fluence low energy deuterium plasma irradiation experiments and subsequent thermal annealing cycles associated with thermal desorption spectrometry (TDS) demonstrated superior structural stability of the Ta coating. TDS experiments revealed the outgassing of deuterium (as measure of its retention) for cold spray Ta coatings to be three times higher than bulk Ta and two orders of magnitude greater than bulk polycrystalline W. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed evolution of oxidation states upon deuterium irradiation and a partial recovery of the metallic signature of Ta after the thermal treatment at 1100 K.
