WCrY smart alloys as advanced plasma-facing materials – Exposure to steady-state pure deuterium plasmas in PSI-2

In this paper the impact of steady state pure D plasma on WCrY smart alloys at ion energies of 120 and 220 eV is reported. For this purpose a comparison with simultaneously exposed pure W samples is drawn. Different analysis techniques employed for pre- and post-plasma sample analysis hint at a sign...
