A study of the radiation-thermal resistance of ferritic steel 16Cr – 4Al – 2W – 0.3Ti – 0.3Y2O3 was made. This ODS (oxide dispersion strengthened) steel is perspective for fusion applications. The “Vikhr” Plasma Focus installation was used to introduse of powerful pulsed flows of helium ions and helium plasma. The power density of a beam of fast helium ions and high-temperature helium plasma flows was ~ 108 and 107 W/cm2 at exposure times of ~ 50 and 100 ns, respectively. The number of pulses N varied in the range from 10 to 30. The rate of evaporation and radiaсtive sputtering changed slightly with an increase in the number of pulses of energy flows acting on the material and amounted to h ≈ 0.01 – 0.02 μm/puls. The irradiated surface after repeated melting under the action of a pulsed radiation-thermal load with powerful energy flows acquired a wave-like character with inclusions of dispersed micro particles of the second phase, containing mainly yttrium, oxygen, aluminum, iron, and titanium. At the same time, in contrast to the refractory metals (W, Mo, Ti) earlier under similar radiation conditions studied, no micro- and macro cracks were formed on the surface of the material facing the plasma. “Vikhr” Plasma Focus setup proved to be an effective tool for simulation testing of candidate materials with magnetic and inertial plasma confinement.
The problem of constructing a choice model of an agent endogenously shaping purposes of his evolution is under debate. It is demonstrated that its solution requires the development of well-known methods of decisionmaking while taking into account the relation of action mode motivation to an agent's ambition to implement subjectively understood interests and the environment state. The latter is submitted for consideration as a purposeful state situation model that exists only in the mind of an agent. It is the situation that is a basis for getting an insight into the agent's ideas on the possible selected action mode results. The agent's ambition to build his confidence in the feasibility of the action mode and the possibility of achieving the desired state requires him to use the procedures of forming a model-representation based on the measured values of the environment state. This leads to the gaming approach for the choice problem and its solution can be obtained on a set of trade-off alternatives.
Effect of plastic deformation, heat treatment, and electron irradiation on the structural-phase state of Cu – 40 at. % Pd is studied. X-ray phase analysis of initial samples, samples obtained by rolling up to 0.2 mm, samples annealed after rolling in an argon atmosphere at 950 °C for 1 h, and samples irradiated by high-energy electron in air at temperature of 300 °C was carried out. A change in the phase composition of the samples after rolling was found: ~ 6 % of the ordered β-phase with bcc structure was formed, which disappears after annealing. As a result of irradiation, a layer of copper oxide CuO formed on the surface of the alloy, which under normal thermal conditions is formed at a temperatures of 400 – 500 °C, and the reflections of the ordered β-phase also disappeared in the near-surface layer. The elemental composition of the alloy changed in depth from the irradiated metal surface. Phases with a low degree of long-range order and an increased content of palladium were formed. The presence of these phases is due mainly to the selective oxidation of copper.
The effect of laser action on the structure of a model material — pure aluminum — is studied. Laser treatment of aluminum samples was carried out on a 15 J Nd:YAG laser, 10 pulses with a duration of 5·10–8 s. In the experiment, a transparent medium was used to exclude the influence of the thermal mechanism and create conditions for the shock-wave mechanism of action on the material. The structure was studied by transmission electron microscopy. After laser irradiation in pure aluminum, the formation of crystallographically oriented voids with transverse dimensions of 50 – 100 nm and a length of up to 500 – 800 nm was found. The mechanism of formation of such formations is discussed.
