Descripción
The main requirements of tungsten materials for structural divertor applications comprise properties likehigh thermal conductivity, high-temperature strength and stability, high recrystallization temperature,and enough ductility for an operation period of about two years under massive neutron load [1].However, the mechanical properties of tungsten commercial products are still one of the main concernsfor their use in structural armour applications. With the aim of improving this aspect, two W/Ti basedproducts are presented in this paper: (1) a W-Ti alloy with a Ti solid solution and (2) an UFG micro-structure product with TiC dispersed particles; both with the aim of obtaining a suitable fusion armourmaterial with enhanced properties, especially at very high temperatures when pure tungsten suffersstrong thermal degradation.It has been reported that strength and recrystallization control can be improved with dispersed TiCparticles which inhibits the grain growth. Furthermore, bothflexural strength and fracture toughnesswere twice and even three times higher than the ones observed for our reference pure tungsten pro-duced by the same group and technique, which is, indeed, a great success. However, the intrinsic brit-tleness of tungsten cannot be enhanced by particle dispersion or solid solution with Ti. On the contrary,intergranular rupture is enhanced even more, and the DBTT is even higher than that of pure W.
