For DEMO fusion reactor an expected heat flux of about 10MW/m2 should be extracted by the divertor which will have, most likely, an armour part made of W and a following heat sink part made of Cu or ODS Cu alloy. Unfortunately, for these materials the optimum operating temperature windows do not overlap. Thermal barrier materials are interface materials included in such components, aiming to keep...
