This paper describes fabrication development activities of the KIT recently started or planned to be performed in the near future.
The design and fabrication, development approaches, challenges and opportunities on DMFCs passively fed with high concentration methanol are discussed.
In particular, it reports the status of the shield fabrication development programme with the manufacture of a full-scale shield prototype.
A key part of these activities is the manufacturing development, the fabrication and the factory acceptance tests of a reduced scale FW prototype (Semi-Prototype (SP)) of the NHF design.
This paper describes the manufacturing development and fabrication of reduced scale ITER First Wall (FW) mock-ups of the Normal Heat Flux (NHF) design, including a "semi-prototype" with a dimension of 305 mm × 660 mm, corresponding to about 1/6 of a full-scale panel.
The major research and development areas are liquidmetal technologies, lithium ceramic pebbles, lead-lithium eutectic alloy, India specific Reduced Activation Ferritic Martensitic Steels (IN-RAFMS) development and fabrication technologies development.
The programmatic roadmap is structured into four engineering research lines which comprise fabrication process development, structural material development, armor material optimization, and irradiation performance testing, which are complemented by a fundamental research programme on "Materials Science and Modeling".
To tackle this issue, improvement in QD fabrication and development of new growth techniques have been explored [29 32].
Regarding the development of advanced breeder and multiplier pebbles for DEMO blanket, fabrication technology development of Li rich Li2TiO3 pebble and BeTi pebble was performed.
His research interests include fabrication and development of devices.
