This paper presents an overview of the corrosion performance and fracture performance of a representative section of a divertor monoblock for the STEP reactor. Both corrosion and fracture are modelled using phase-field modelling, implemented in the commercial software ‘COMSOL Multiphysics’. Using multiphysics software COMSOL; a model for a single monoblock that makes up the divertor system is used in two studies to determine the impact of corrosion on the CuCrZr material.
