Blocks of tungsten and ferritic–martensitic steel (FMS) were joined without any interfacial defects or cracks. For the joining, two times of a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) were performed. The first HIP (900°C, 100MPa, 1.5h) facilitates the diffusion bonding between W and FMS. The second HIP (750°C, 70MPa, 2h) corresponds to a tempering process to retain the mechanical properties of the FMS. As an interlayer material, titanium foil that can mitigate the thermal expansion difference between W and FMS was used. In addition, a molybdenum foil was inserted to prevent an unwanted bonding of W to a canning material. The lateral cracks in W plates, which were usually observed in the case of a conventional HIP process, were not observed when the molybdenum separator was used. W/FMS joint mock-ups with a dimension of 50mm×50mm×32mm (T) were successfully fabricated. The shear strength of the joints was 89MPa on average.
