Ion-irradiation induced clustering in W-Re-Ta, W-Re and W-Ta alloys: an atom probe tomography and nanoindentation study

In tungsten plasma-facing fusion reactor components, Ta is the third most abundant element formed by transmutation (after Re and Os), yet little is known about the behaviour of W-Ta alloys under irradiation and any effects Ta might have on Re clustering in W-Re-Ta alloys. In this study, W−4.5at.%Ta,...
