Advanced Manufacturing Workflows for Tokamak Internal Components
The project aim was to create a new advanced manufacturing workflow for the design and creation of an internal component in a fusion device, enabling a low-cost, rapid design and fabrication cycle. As a result, two demonstration components were manufactured, and mechanical properties for two feedstock materials were tested in the context of fusion device conditions. This work shows a technological scoping toward future manufacturing of complex components in topologies relevant to magnetic fusion devices via additive manufacturing.
