Abstract
Studies of plasma interaction with titanium coated ferritic steel is performed on IR‐T1 tokamak. Titanium coating is one of the candidates for the plasma facing materials in a tokomak. Titaniumization is carried out by a sputtering method. Some of the samples were baked (3 hours at 460 °C) before sputtering. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analyses before and after discharge in r/a = l .04 carried out. The samples (with distinctive titanium layers) were placed at different depths inside the vacuum vessel of the IR‐T1 tokamak in the SOL region. A comparison of the titanium coated steel with bare ferritic steel exposed to plasma tokamak and glow discharges is made in this research. Depth of impurity penetration and retention, and the surface roughness are measured by using surface analysis methods. Rutherford backscattering method is used to measure the content of nitrogen, oxygen and titanium, before and after discharges. The result is shown a change in roughness with respect to position of samples.
