Wave Induced

Expressions for wave-induced radial transport are derived, allowing simple estimates to be obtained. The transport is enhanced owing to the presence of a poloidal magnetostatic field and in the vicinity of ion-cyclotron resonance. The direction of the wave-induced transport also depends on the wave polarization.

Within the large scale fusion experimental device ITER, Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) system is one of the three heating systems which will supply total heating power of 20 MW (40-55 MHz) up to one hour operation. Radio-Frequency (RF) contacts are integrated within the antennas for assembly and operation considerations, which will face extremely harsh service conditions, including neutron irradiation, heavy electrical loads (RF current reaches up to 2 kA with a linear current density of 4.8 kA/m), high thermal loads and also long-duration vacuum baking at 250°C before each experimental plasma campaign. CuCrZr and 316L steel have been shown to be proper base candidate materials for ITER RF contact louvers and conductors respectively. However, in order to limit the wear and the diffusion phenomena at the RF contact as well as to reduce the contact resistance, functional protective layers should be developed. The aim of this work is to investigate Au-Ni and Rh functional layers, electroplated on CuCrZr and 316L respectively. The efficiency of the Au-Ni/Rh coated pairs was evaluated through thermal ageing diffusion tests, using EDS cross-section mapping and XRD techniques. Wear and electrical contact performances of the Au-Ni/Rh original and thermally aged pairs have also been deeply studied on a dedicated tribometer operated at ITER relevant conditions.
