Doctoral Researcher,
Thermofluid Optimisation of AM High Heat Flux Components for Fusion
AM has been identified as a technology with significant potential applications in fusion, particularly for high temperature, high heat-flux components and development of the processing of refractory metals (e.g. W and Ta) has shown promise.
The aim of this PhD is to use AM to create new designs/concepts for plasma-facing components (PFCs) and to test metals in a nuclear fusion environment to find the ideal material to be used as a PFC.
