Prior to the fabrication of the mock-up, brazed joint tests between the CFC monoblock and the CuCrZr tube have been carried out to find the suitable heat treatment mitigating loss of the high mechanical strength of the CuCrZr material. Basic mechanical examination on CuCrZr undergoing the brazing heat treatment and FEM analyses are also performed to support the design of the mock-up. High heat flux tests on the large-scale divertor mock-up have been performed in an ion beam facility. The mock-up has successfully withstood more than 1,000 thermal cycles of for 15 s and 3,000 cycles more than for 15 s, which simulates the heat load condition of the ITER divertor. No degradation of the thermal performance of the mock-up has been observed throughout the thermal cycle test.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:44.60(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)This paper presents thermal fatigue experiments of a cooling tube with a helical triangular fin on its inner cooled surface, namely a . The screw thread is directly shaped in a CuCrZr heat sink bar as a cooling channel. Slits with the width of 1.5 mm are machined at the heated side of the heat sink. The thermal fatigue experiments are carried out at 20 and 30 by using an electron beam irradiation facility in JAERI. Water leakages from fatigue cracks, which locate at the slit of the heat sink, occurred at around 4500th and 1400th cycles at 20 and 30 , respectively. These results show good agreement with lifetime predictions using Manson-Coffin's law based on finite element analyses. Fractographic observations reveal that the fatigue cracks start from the outer heated surface at the slit region of the cooling channel and propagate toward its inner surface.
