THE DEFORMATION VALUE EFFECT ON THE TA-W-TA SOLID-PHASE JUNCTION NATURE WITH INTERMEDIATE TI (TITANIUM) INTERLAYERS FOR THE NEUTRON PRODUCING TARGET OF THE NEUTRON SOURCE

Abstract

The paper presents the quality studies results of the Ta-W-Ta solid phase junctions with Ti interlayers obtained by hot roll bonding in vacuum, that determine the work suitability in the form of neutron producing targets at the research nuclear facility ‘Source of Neutrons’. It is shown the layers mutual penetration level of the Ta-W-Ta solid-phase junction with Ti interlayers which provides a high level of clad layers adhesion when using the hot vacuum roll bonding method. The deformation parameters necessary both for the solid phase bond occurrence and for the reliable solid-phase junction formation of tantalum and tungsten refractory metals layers through a titanium interlayer, with a joint strength exceeding the value of a less durable material are determined. The possibility of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using for side faces coating of targets was studied.
