As a common plasma-facing material in fusion reactors, tungsten (W) is exposed to high-energy neutron and hydrogen (H) fluxes. Progress in the development of a new experimental device to investigate the impact of this environment on the mechanical properties of W will be presented. The device will be used to characterize the influence of radiation damage, implanted H (as well as other impurities), and their synergistic interactions on the strength and ductility of W. Radiation damage will be produced by self-damaging with W ions at 20 MeV. Impurity atoms will be subsequently implanted in the sample, and the mechanical properties determined via in situ tensile testing. Due to the low penetration depth of W ions, thin fibers and foils (≤ 5 µm) are foreseen as samples. Additionally, the high degree of deformation in these material forms results in fine microstructures, which reduces the influence of grain-size effects and thus enables the simulation of bulk material behavior. The influence of temperature during irradiation and mechanical loading will also be examined.
