THE ROLE OF A SIMULATION BENCH WITH PLASMA- BEAM INSTALLATION IN RESEARCHES OF PLASMA-SURFACE INTERECTION

In accordance with purpose of the program for ensuring scientific study efficiency, an experimental simulation bench with a plasma-beam installation was created based on IAE Branch RSE NNC RK at the KTM installation, in 2008, whose role is the testing of small samples from promising structural materials and the setting up of diagnostic equipment for thermonuclear reactors. The installation is oriented on universality and possibility of quick readjustment to solve various specialized tasks, and also has wide possibility and allows testing materials under the complex effect of plasma flow and powerful heat load on them.
