X-ray tomography (CT) image data of tungsten fusion energy heat exchange components

X-ray tomography (CT) image data of tungsten fusion energy heat exchange components.

The dataset includes images of four samples:

• CCFE_MB_ROI (Culham Centre for Fusion Energy thermal break concept monoblock, region of interest sample)
• IPP_Wf-Cu (Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik tungsten fibre / copper matrix coolant pipe)
• ITER_HHFT_ROI (ITER reference monoblock which has undergone high heat flux testing, region of interest sample)
• ITER_MB_ROI (ITER reference monoblock, region of interest sample)

This data was used originally for the following publication (please cite if re-using the data) where further details on the data may be obtained:

Ll.M. Evans, L. Margetts, P.D. Lee, C.A.M. Butler, E. Surrey, “Image based in silico characterisation of the effective thermal properties of a graphite foam”, Carbon, Vol. 143, pp. 542-558, 2018. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2018.10.031

Each of the sample directories include reconstructed slices in Tiff format. To visualise the 3D volume use software such as ImageJ (https://imagej.net/Fiji/Downloads). CCFE_MB_ROI also includes raw radiographs; scan & reconstruction parameter settings file.
