Tungsten (W) is considered as the most promising plasma facing material in fusion device, which will be exposed to steady and transient heat loads. Usually, the deformation degree of W influences its thermal shock properties. So we evaluated the thermal shock resistance of rolled pure tungsten (PW) with 60%, 90% deformation degrees and W-1.0wt%La 2 O 3 (WL10) with 52%, 88% deformation degrees using electron beam at an absorbed power density of 0.22 GW m −2 for 5 ms and further discussed the relationship between the thermal shock resistance and microstructures, thermalmechanical properties. The absorbed beam current (30 mA), electron beam acceleration voltage (120 kV) and loaded area (4×4 mm 2 ) is used to estimate the absorbed power density. The results indicated that PW-90%, LW-88% exhibited smaller grain size, higher relative density, microhardness but lower strength, thermal conductivity compared to PW-60%, LW-52%. The cracking threshold was <0.22 GW m −2 for PW-60%, LW-52% and >0.22 GW m −2 for PW-90%, LW-88%. Elliptic left pores in PW-60% and LW-52% aggravated the effect of stress concentration cracking during the transient high heat flux test and decreased the cracking threshold altough they exhibited high strength and thermal conductivity.
