The paper presents experimental study of surface-structure modification and optical-properties’ change of two types of tungsten (W-IG and W-rc) under impact of factors imitating operating conditions in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER): successive impact of neutrons and recharge atoms (sputtering). For the first time, the fact is determined that the W-IG recrystallization leads to stabilization of both surface structure and, as a result, optical properties. The comprehensive study of radiation-induced transformations of the surface reveals physical mechanisms of its erosion under the ITER factors and results in creation of the roughness model. For the first time, a model of coexistence of two types of roughness on the W-IG surface and its transformations under recrystallization is grounded.
Key words: tungsten, W-rc, W-IG, ITER, recrystallization, neutrons, recharge atoms (sputtering), surface.
