Abstract

A high enthalpy, 400 kW plasma testing facility was constructed at Chonbuk National University (CBNU) in Korea. Enhanced segmented arc plasma torches are used as the plasma sources, allowing it to produce enthalpies greater than 10 MJ/kg. An ablation test of a carbon-based plasma facing material (PFM) was conducted at the plasma facility and the ablation characteristics were investigated. This facility produces particle flux greater than 10²⁴/(m² s) and heat flux greater than 10 MW/m², that are relevant for testing PFM under fusion reactor conditions.
