Interpretive modelling of boron transport in the boundary plasma of WEST experiments with the impurity powder dropper

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Abstract Boron (B) powder injection is a potential alternative to glow discharge boronization as a wall conditioning method for tokamaks. This technique is currently being studied in WEST experiments, during which B powder is injected by an Impurity Powder Dropper developed by PPPL.

Glow Discharge Boronization and Real-Time Boronization Using an Impurity Powder Dropper in LHD

Nuclear Materials and Energy
In the Large Helical Device (LHD), boronization is utilized for wall conditioning, employing two distinct methods: glow discharge using diborane gas and the injection of boron powder into the plasma via an impurity powder dropper (IPD). Glow discharge boronization is conducted after maintenance when the vacuum vessel is exposed to air and just before ...

Simulation Analysis of Transport of Boron Dust Particles Injected by Impurity Powder Dropper in the Large Helical Device

Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering
ORCID　0000-0003-0655-7347 Boron dust particles were injected by an impurity powder dropper to improve plasma confinement and perform wall conditioning in the Large Helical Device. A fast-framing camera for monitoring dust particle trajectories in the peripheral plasma detected a change in the ablation positions of the dust particles depending on the ...

Full‐torus impurity transport simulation for optimizing plasma discharge operation using a multi‐species impurity powder dropper in the large helical device

Contributions to Plasma Physics, 2019
AbstractThe transport of impurities supplied by a multi‐species impurity powder dropper (IPD) in the large helical device (LHD) is investigated using a three‐dimensional peripheral plasma fluid code (EMC3‐EIRENE) coupled with a dust transport simulation code (DUSTT).

Innovative Processing of Compacted Waste Aluminum Alloy Powders via Controlled Remelting and Solidification

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates an efficient recycling route for out‐of‐spec AlSi10Mg atomized powders through compaction and arc remelting followed by suction casting. By correlating compaction load, cooling rate, and resulting microstructure, we show that intermediate pressures (50–80 kN) and rapid cooling refine dendrites, reduce porosity, and enhance ...

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

Recycling of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys: Fundamental and Technological Aspects of a Vacuum Induction Melting Processing Route

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.

Low Cycle Repetitive Loading of Ti‐6Al‐4V‐Epoxy Composite Lattice Structures for Enhanced Energy Dissipation and Damage Tolerance

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Composite Ti–6Al–4V–epoxy lattice structures are additively manufactured and epoxy infiltrated for cyclic loading. At low lattice volume fractions, hybridization produces synergistic gains in stiffness and energy dissipation. At higher volume fractions, synergy diminishes, although composites still exceed metallic lattices in specific energy ...
