| Abstract: | • Upgrade of RFX-mod experiment proposed for studies of RFP and Tokamak physics. • High-performance polymers and surface coatings for in-vessel components insulation. • In-vessel components made from Metal Additive Manufacturing. • Effective collaboration between research institutions and industries. • Support of local authorities to scientific research and technological innovation. A substantial modification of the toroidal complex of the RFX experiment, named RFX-mod2, is currently under completion, involving the whole core system of the machine and in particular the vacuum vessel, the entire plasma facing components and a wide set of in-vessel diagnostic systems. The combination of challenging requirements, in terms of electrical insulation and vacuum compatibility of in-vessel components, and stringent geometrical constraints to comply with interfaces to existing machine components, in particular external coils and diagnostic systems, called for the adoption of novel technological solutions developed in collaboration with local industries in the framework of an industrial innovation project co-funded by Regione Veneto. The paper presents an overview of the technological solutions implemented and tested during the manufacturing phase of the new components of the RFX-mod2 machine complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
