摘要：

Plasma-spraying of beryllium is under investigation as a potential method for coating the first wall blanket surface of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and as a technique for regenerating damaged beryllium surfaces as a result of normal and off-normal operating events. Methods to optimize the thermal conductivity of vacuum plasma-sprayed (VPS) beryllium are currently under investigation at the Los Alamos National Laboratory's Beryllium Atomization and Thermal Spray Facility (BATSF). Studies are being conducted to evaluate the effect of the starting beryllium feedstock powder, processing parameters and resulting microstructures on the thermal conductivity of VPS beryllium. The characteristic layered microstructure, typical of plasma-sprayed deposits, contains regions of incomplete bonding between individual splat layers which can decrease the thermal conductivity through the thickness of the deposit. Impurities present in the starting beryllium feedstock powder can also influence the thermal conductivity of VPS beryllium by causing impurity striations throughout the thickness of the deposit.
