Joining and cycling performance of ultra-thick tungsten coatings on patterned steel substrates for fusion armour applications

Tungsten is the leading candidate to provide a critical protective coating for copper and steel-based plasma facing components in nuclear reactors. However, fabrication of thick tungsten coatings on copper or steel is challenged by the significant difference in the melting points and the thermal exp...
