摘要
The interfacial characterization of W-Eurofer brazed joints, which could be implemented in the first wall component of the future DEMO nuclear fusion reactor, has been carried out by TEM and nanoindentation. The Eurofer-braze interface is characterized by the formation of two reaction layers formed during the melting stage of the filler in the brazing process, which reported high hardness and modulus values. The obtained microstructure supposes a homogenous transition between the base material and the braze. However, in the W-braze interface a more defined interface is formed, where the presence of an intermetallic transition compound has been identified. The combination of both techniques allows to study the resultant microstructure and to analyze the mechanical response of the phases, which constitute the interface and could be helpful to control the brazing conditions avoiding undesirable brazeability problems.
