In this study, CuCrZr/316L(N)-IG explosion bonding bimetallic plates were produced and conducted the same thermal cycles as the ITER enhanced heat flux (EHF) First Wall (FW) fingers. The bonding in different states was investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy and tensile, hardness tests. Wavy morphology and deformation structure were observed in the as-received explosion bonding plates. After solution annealing, deformation feature disappeared and recrystallization of CuCrZr alloy happened. The plates can meet the design requirement for the EHF FW components after the following Be/CuCrZr HIPing, both for the microstructure and strength.
