- Summary:
- The structural alloys Ta-10W, Mo, and Inconel X-750 were used for plasma limiters during the 3-MW ohmic heating experiments of the Doublet III tokamak. Post-service examinations of these limiters are reviewed. Near-surface melting, cracking, and microstructural changes are shown and discussed. During III service, elements from other metallic components were transported by the plasma and deposited on the limiter surface; significantly, high concentrations of Ni, Fe, Mo, and C were detected in the regions found to be microcracked in the Ta-10W. Observations and analyses are made that are relevant to the design of limiter and armor components for larger tokamaks.
