Abstract

Tungsten is considered as one of the most promising materials for nuclear fusion reactor chamber applications. Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing has already demonstrated the ability to deposit defect-free large-scale tungsten structures, with considerable deposition rates. In this study, the microst...
