In a prototype tokamak fusion reactor, a hydrogen plasma will be raised to extreme temperatures of 150-200 million C. Despite confinement within strong magnetic fields and a plethora of mitigation measures, undesirable plasma instabilities and disruptions may occasionally cause this hot fusion plasma to touch the plasma-facing surfaces of the reactor [1]. The short duration but high intensity transient thermal loads that arise (< 0.1 sec,~ 7.5 MW m-2) may briefly subject the underlying structural materials of the reactors tungsten-armoured interior wall (the first wall) to temperatures of up to 850 C [2].The first wall of the DEMOnstration fusion power station (DEMO) is likely to be constructed from the reduced activation ferritic-martensitic 9Cr steel Eurofer 97 [3]. While the isothermal ageing behaviour of conventional 9Cr steels is well understood [4], Eurofer 97’s unique reduced activation composition (8.89 Cr-1.11 W-0.44 Mn-0.19 V–0.14 Ta wt.%) and the intense thermal transients imposed by plasma-wall interactions may give rise to novel degradation behaviour. Over time, Eurofer 97’s normalised and tempered lath martensite microstructure and carefully engineered secondary phases (predominantly Cr/W-rich M23C6, and TaC/VN MX-type) may become significantly altered. This unique thermal degradation mechanism and its effects on Eurofer 97 must be characterised comprehensively prior to reactor licensing.
