A Validation of an Ultrasonic Method for Detecting Defects in Tungsten Welds for Civil Nuclear Fusion Applications

Abstract: This experiment will provide what the authors believe will be the first set of neutron tomography data on a cracked tungsten weld. The experiment will greatly assist in validating the use of ultrasonic measurement on detecting defects within tungsten and tungsten welds, with the hope of improving the accuracy of the technique. This work has the potential to influence decisions relating to the viability of tungsten as a candidate material for plasma-facing components in fusion reactors, and to pave the way for the manufacture of novel components for STEP. This work is part of a PhD student project at Manchester University.
