Carbon removal in stainless steel wall and graphite sheet by using oxygen glow discharge

Design and application of GDC on EAST Tokamak

“…Although graphite has good thermal-mechanical properties and low atomic number, the control of oxygen inventory (H 2 O, CO 2 , CO) is still a big problem. Boronation is applied to reduce oxygen influx and hydrogen recycling due to its high bonding with carbon and oxygen based on theory of chemical vapor deposition [9]. It also can lower metal impurity influx.…”
