ResumoA significant R&D effort was carried out in EU to develop suitable CFC materials with a three-directional fibre structure. The main goal was to obtain a high thermal conductivity, which is required to remove the expected heat load with a sacrificial thickness of at least 15–20 mm, with a proper balance of the mechanical properties. Two CFC materials have been developed and are both suitable for the ITER divertor construction, namely NB31 by the French company Snecma Propulsion Solide and Concept 2 by the British company Dunlop Aerospace. The main R&D effort is now focussed in developing cheaper grades and optimising the manufacturing process.
