ResumoSamples of 300 series stainless steel (SS) and Mo have been exposed to 300 eV and 20 eV D+3 ions from a deuterium plasma with fluxes up to 1.7 × 1017 D · cm−2s−1. The exposed surfaces were examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Although the highest fluxes produced evidence of erosion, no blisters were seen. The same exposure given to Mo, however, produced extensive blistering. The experimental results are compared with theoretical computations of hydrogen transport in SS and interpreted in the context of a model for hydrogen blistering.
