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.

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
316SS@Inconel600Maraging steel, which is the same as that of hardness.

The developments of the neutron scattering facilities are carried out under the high-intensity proton accelerator project promoted by JAERI and KEK. To estimate the structural integrity of the heavy liquid-metal (Hg) target used as a spallation neutron source in a MW-class neutron scattering facility, dynamic stress behavior due to the incident of a 1MW-pulsed proton beam were analyzed by using FEM code. Two-type target containers with semi-cylindrical type and flat-plate type window were used as models for analyses. As a result, it is confirmed that the stress (pressure wave) generated by dynamic thermal shock becomes the largest at the center of window, and the flat-plate type window is more advantageous from the structural viewpoint than the semi-cylindrical type window. It has been understood that the stress generated in the window by the pressure wave can be treated as the secondary stress.

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.
