PRELIMINARY PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUCTILE-PHASE TOUGHENED TUNGSTEN FOR PLASMA-FACING MATERIALS: DUAL-PHASE FINITE ELEMENT DAMAGE MODELS

The objective of this study is to develop a finite element continuum damage model suitable for modeling deformation, cracking, and crack bridging for W-Cu, W-Ni-Fe, and other ductile phase toughened W-composites, or more generally, any multi-phase composite structure where two or more phases undergo cooperative deformation in a composite system.

RECENT PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUCTILE-PHASE TOUGHENED TUNGSTEN FOR PLASMA-FACING MATERIALS: W-Ni-Fe COMPOSITES

A promising approach to increasing fracture toughness and decreasing the DBTT of a W-alloy is by ductile-phase toughening (DPT). In this method, a ductile phase is included in a brittle matrix to prevent fracture propagation by crack bridging or crack deflection. Liquid-phase sintered W-Ni-Fe alloys consisting of nearly spherical W-particles embedded within a Ni-Fe-W ductile matrix are being manipulated by hot-rolling to create lamellar W/Fe-Ni-W composites with anisotropic fracture properties. The rolled W-Ni-Fe alloy becomes a lamellar alloy consisting of W lamellae separated by ductile-phase regions. The W-rich lamellae are strong but brittle, while the ductile-phase metallic regions have a thin, plate-like morphology to provide a ductile bridging region. This rolled material is oriented with the W-rich lamellae parallel to principal stresses so that surface cracking is normal to the ductile-phase bridging regions.

RECENT PROGRESS IN THE FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DUCTILE-PHASE-TOUGHENED TUNGSTEN COMPOSITES FOR PLASMA-FACING MATERIALS

A promising approach to increasing fracture toughness and decreasing the DBTT of a W-alloy is by ductile-phase toughening (DPT). In this method, a ductile phase is included in a brittle matrix to prevent crack propagation by bridging. Composite specimens were fabricated by two methods: 1) sintering W powders together with carburized W wires, and 2) hot pressing W and Cu foils together with W wires. These composites were tested in tension and three-point bending.

RECENT PROGRESS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DUCTILE-PHASE TOUGHENED TUNGSTEN FOR PLASMA-FACING MATERIALS: W-Ni-Fe COMPOSITES

A promising approach to increasing fracture toughness and decreasing the DBTT of a W-alloy is by ductile-phase toughening (DPT) [1-3]. In this method, a ductile phase is included in a brittle matrix to prevent fracture propagation by crack bridging. W-Ni-Fe alloys consisting of nearly spherical W-particles embedded within a Fe-Ni-W ductile matrix are being manipulated by hot-rolling to create lamellar W/Fe-Ni-W composites with anisotropic fracture properties.

Modeling Ductile-Phase Toughened Tungsten for Plasma-Facing Materials: Progress in Damage Finite Element Analysis of the Tungsten-Copper Bend Bar Tests

The objective of this study is to investigate the deformation behavior of ductile phase toughened W-composites such as W-Cu and W-Ni-Fe by means of a multiscale finite element model that involves a microstructural dual-phase model where the constituent phases (i.e., W, Cu, Ni-Fe) are finely discretized and are described by a continuum damage model. Such a model is suitable for modeling deformation, cracking, and crack bridging for W-Cu, W-Ni-Fe, and other ductile phase toughened W-composites, or more generally, any multi-phase composite structure where two or more phases undergo cooperative deformation in a composite system. Our current work focuses on simulating the response and damage development of the W-Cu specimen subjected to three-point bending.

Getting Data Out of the Ground: Modern Data Challenges Facing EGS Collab, the DOE Geothermal Data Repository, and the Geothermal Industry

The amount of data being generated by the geothermal industry is increasing exponentially. Advanced tools, higher resolution sensors, and digitally integrated equipment are providing valuable insight into geothermal exploration and operational efficiencies, but the volumes of data they generate and the unique properties of Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) projects are creating challenges of their own. This paper explores those challenges and the steps the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is taking to address them through comprehensive data management strategies, improvements to DOE's Geothermal Data Repository (GDR), and the development of a secure data collaboration tool for DOE's Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) and EGS Collab projects.
