Summary

A FACILITY FOR FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTING OF STAINLESS STEEL BASE METAL AND WELDS IN LIQUID HELIUM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO QUALIFY MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE MIRROR FUSION PROGRAMME. THE PURPOSE OF THE TEST IS TO PERFORM FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TESTS ON MATERIALS IN AN ENVIRONMENT SIMULATING THE SUPERCONDUCTING < MIRROR > MAGNET. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CRYOGENIC TEST SYSTEM AS WELL AS A BRIEF INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA.
