Mercury target will be installed at the material science and life facility in J-PARC, which will promote innovative science. The mercury target will be subjected to the pressure wave caused by proton bombarding in the mercury. The pressure wave propagation induces the cavitation in mercury that imposes localized impact damage on the target vessel. The impact erosion is a critical issue to decide the lifetime of target. An electromagnetic impact testing machine, MIMTM, was developed to reproduce the localized impact erosion damage and evaluate the damage formation. Additionally, droplet impact analyses were carried out to investigate the correlation between isolate pit profile and micro-jet velocity. We confirmed that the value of depth/radius was applicable to estimate micro-jet velocity, and the velocity at 560 W in MIMTM equivalent to 1MW proton beam injection was 300 m/s approximately.

Times Cited Count：51 Percentile：94.08(Nuclear Science & Technology)A liquid-mercury target system for the MW-scale target is being developed in the world. The pitting damage induced by pressure wave propagation gets to be one of critical issues to estimate the life of the target structure with mercury and to evaluate its structural integrity. The off-line test on the pitting damage at high cycles over 10 millions was carried out using a novel device, the MIMTM which drives electromagnetically to impose pulse pressure into the mercury. It was found that from the pitting damage data obtained by the MIMTM that the pitting damage can be characterized in two steps, an incubation period that can extend to more than 106 cycles in 316SS and 107 cycles in surface hardening treated one and steady state erosion where mass loss scales with the number of cycles to approximately the 1.27 power for mercury. The length of the incubation period is primarily a function of the material and the intensity of the pressure. This observation provides a simple model for estimating lifetime for different materials and beam power.

A liquid-mercury target system for the MW-scale target is being developed in the world. The moment the proton beams bombard the target, pressure waves will be generated in the mercury by the thermally shocked heat deposition. Provided that the negative pressure generates through its propagation in the mercury target and causes cavitation in the mercury, there is the possibility for the cavitation bubbles collapse to form pits on the interface between the mercury and the target vessel wall. In order to estimate the cavitation erosion damage, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) tests impact tests were performed to impose the impact pressure to the interface between mercury and solid metals. In particular, the surface hardening treated samples: Kolsterising, some coatings are investigated. As results, it is confirmed that the pitting damage is suppressed by surface hardening treatments and relative hardness appeared to be a good correlating parameter on impact erosion resistance.

A liquid-mercury target system for the MW-scale target is being developed in the world. The moment the proton beams bombard the target, stress waves will be imposed on the beam window and pressure waves will be generated in the mercury by the thermally shocked heat deposition. Provided that the negative pressure generates through its propagation in the mercury target and causes cavitation in the mercury, there is the possibility for the cavitation bubbles collapse to form pits on the interface between the mercury and the target vessel wall. In order to estimate the cavitation erosion damage due to pitting, two types of off-line tests were performed: Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB), and Magnetic IMpact Testing Machine (MIMTM). The data on the pitting damage at the high cycle impacts up to 10 million were given by the MIMTM. As a result, it is confirmed that the mean depth erosion is predictable using a homologous line in the steady state with mass loss independently of testing machines and the incubation period is very dependent on materials and imposed pressures.

JAERI is carrying out research & development to construct the a of spallation neutron source facility, which may bring us innovative science fields. A high power proton beam will be injected into a liquid mercury target to produce neutrons. The mercury vessel will consequently be subjected to the pressure waves generated by rapid thermal expansion. The pressure waves will propagate from the liquid mercury into the vessel solid metal, and back again. The pressure waves may induce erosion at the interface between the solid metal vessel and the liquid mercury under certain loading conditions, e.g. impact. In order to investigate the impact erosion damage due to the pressure wave, we have carried out impact experiments using a modified conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus on mercury filling a small chamber. Surface degradation in the form of many pits was observed and the ranking order of damage was found to be A6061

In order to examine the impact behavior of mercury, which is one of important key-issues in a facility for high intensity neutron sources, the falling and colliding profiles of mercury droplets were recorded by high-speed video recorder. The impact force was also measured using the strain gage glued on an elastic bar. The falling mercury droplet oscillated between a prolate spheroid and an oblate one, repeatedly. The regathering and jumping of mercury at the collision point on the impact face of the target were observed after impact because of the strong surface tension of mercury. The impact force of mercury droplet was in proportion to the impact velocities and the square root of the potential energy. Scince the non-dimensional duration time K that obtained experimentally is independent of the impact velocity and the size of the droplet, the mean applied stress due to the mercury droplet against the target is easily predictable by the equatiion using K value and the impact velocity is known.
