ASIPP HT-7 & EAST 17 th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices, 22-26 May, 2006, Hefei China H.Li Joint temp. reached about 470 0 C and then rising rapidly. One side of the mock-up appeared continuous hot spots and red. delamination happened. The heat load limit is 7MW/m 2. Heat load limit test Mock-up A

ASIPP HT-7 & EAST 17 th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices, 22-26 May, 2006, Hefei China H.Li Microstructure analysis Delamination W Cu  Cracks originated at the edge and then expanded to center, which resulted in delamination.  A larger mumber of cracks appeared at the other side of the copper/filler joint- face after tests.  At high temp.(470 0 C), high stress and large plastic strain happeded near the copper/filler material joint-face.

9. ASIPP HT-7 & EAST 17 th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices, 22-26 May, 2006, Hefei China H.Li  joint temp. higher than simulation and slightly rising in the end of the heat loading, which meant the thermal contact was not good as that under 4MW/m 2.  The cooling time, slightly longer under 6MW/m 2 than under other heat flux. Mock-up B Heat load properties Under 2, 4MW/m 2, good agreement in temp. between tests and simulation, which indicated good thermal contact and high heat trasfer capability at the joint. Under 6MW/m 2,

10. ASIPP HT-7 & EAST 17 th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices, 22-26 May, 2006, Hefei China H.Li  Tungsten/filler joint-face is good before and after heat load.  Before tests(after joining), pores appeared in the filler material.  After heat loads, the cracks appeared near the filler/Cu joint face and reduced the heat transfer capability, which resulted in higher joint temp.  For W/Cu joints, the cracks or faluires often happened near the copper. Avoiding the strength reduction of the copper and improving the filler material’s properties (CTEs, modulus, ductibility, adhesion, etc.) is the key issue. Before tests After tests Microstructure analysis

ASIPP HT-7 & EAST 17 th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices, 22-26 May, 2006, Hefei China H.Li Simulation High temp. of the joint-face under Heat flux of 6MW/m 2 is dangerious for W/Cu joint. if reducing the distance between the vertex and jointface to 3mm, the temp. of the joint-face (center) decreased from 360 0 C to 300 0 C under 6MW/m 2 and the mock-up would have more structure reliability. 6MW/m 2 h=6mm

12. ASIPP HT-7 & EAST 17 th International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices, 22-26 May, 2006, Hefei China H.Li Conclusion  Two mock-ups with forging W plate and CuCr heat sink joining by explosive compund were developed, manufactured and tested.  The heat load limit of the mock-up is 7MW/m 2, and delamination happened. But the mock-up can sustain about 6MW/m 2 although some cracks happened at the joint face.  If the heat load does not exceed 4MW/m 2, the mock-up will have good heat transfer properties and good structure stability.  If reducing the distance between the vertex of the channel and the joint-face from 6mm to 3mm, it is expected that the mock-up has higher reliability due to lower temp. at the joint-face.  The cracks or failures often originated and developed at copper/filler joint- face,especially near the edge. For W/CuCr explosive compund, the properties of filler materials and the adhesion strength are very important to its reliability and lifetime under high heat loading.
