Tungsten-based materials are the most prospective candidates for plasma-facing components of future fusion devices, such as DEMO. W-based composites and graded layers can serve as stress-relieving interlayers for the joints between plasma-facing armor and the cooling or structural parts. Coating/cladding techniques offer the advantages of eliminating the joining step and the ability to coat large areas, even on nonplanar shapes. In this work, W + Cu and W + Ni composites were prepared by pulsed plasma transferred arc (PTA) cladding on several different substrates. Optimization of the process was carried out with respect to powder mixture composition and process parameters like arc current, plasma gas composition, and traverse velocity. Dense claddings of several millimeters thickness and various W content were achieved. Moreover, multilayers with W content gradually varying from 47 to 92% were formed. The structure, compositional profiles, and thermal properties of the claddings were characterized.

Fe-based alloy coatings were produced by the plasma transferred arc(PTA) at arc current values of 90A,100A,110A and 120A. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and optical microscopy (OM) were used to characterize the microstructure of the coatings. The wear resistances of the coatings were tested by impact and wear experiment. The results show that, the coating and substrate are metallurgy combination, and the coating modified at 110A shows that better wear resistance than others.
