Popis: This work reports about preparation of W/Fe co-sputtered layers between tungsten and steel in order to ease their coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch.Iron and tungsten have been gradually co-sputtered on W tiles with real time deposition parameters changing to obtain a graded interlayer: SEM, EDS, XPS, HR-TEM have been used to characterize the W/Fe co-sputtered layer.W tiles co-sputtered with the W/Fe layers have been hot pressed to steel tiles: morphology and mechanical strength have been investigated for joints with and without W/Fe co-sputtered layer.Lap-shear tests in compression at room temperature have been made on hot pressed W/steel joints with and without W/Fe co-sputtered layer, showing a different behaviour.High flux test on joints with and without W/Fe co-sputtered layer are reported and discussed. The mechanical test results of manufactured joints are in good accordance with high heat flux test results, showing that the behaviour of hot-pressed joints with W/Fe co-sputtered layer was slightly worse if compared to joints without co-sputtered layer at the interface.
