  • Composite component for fusion reactors
    Patent number: 7128980
    Abstract: A highly heat-resistant laminated component for a fusion reactor has at least of a plasma-facing area made of tungsten or a tungsten alloy, a heat-dissipating area of copper or a copper alloy with a mean grain size of more than 100 ?m, and an interlayer of a refractory metal-copper-composite. The refractory metal-copper-composite has a macroscopically uniform copper and refractory-metal concentration progression and a refractory metal concentration of between 10 vol. % and 40 vol. % over its entire thickness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 30, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2006
    Assignee: Plansee SE
    Inventors: Bertram Schedler, Thomas Granzer, Thomas Huber, Karlheinz Scheiber, Dietmar Schedle, Hans-Dieter Friedle, Thomas Friedrich, Anton Zabernig
