Progress of manufacture technology of CFETR WCCB blanket at ASIPP

As one candidate of blankets for China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), the Water Cooled CeramicBreeder (WCCB) blanket is proposed and designed in Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences(ASIPP). Supported by the National Key R&D Program of China, we formulated a roadmap on its manufacturing.In this work, the research and development (R&D) on bonding technology for W/Steel and Steel/Steel has beensummarized first. Bonding quality was evaluated by microstructure observation and mechanical test. In the W/Steel bonding, the effects of interlayer and intermetallics on the joints failure have been discussed. In the Steel/Steel bonding, the deformation issue and the heat treatment of RAFM Steel have been presented. Then theprogress on manufacturing technology and bonding quality tests of the middle-size first wall (FW) mockups alsohave been shown in the paper. Finally, some technology experiments of assembling weld for the sub-componentshave been discussed. It is considered that this research construct a foundation to manufacture the WCCBcomponent.
