Development and Beam Irradiation of Ir/W/Ta/Ta-Alloys Refractory Metals and Cladding Via Hot Isostatic Pressing at CERN for Beam Intercepting Devices Applications

The current contribution details the research and development activities associated to refractory metals such as iridium, tungsten, tantalum and tantalum-tungsten alloys executed at CERN in the framework of the development of beam intercepting devices, including beam irradiation tests both at the HiRadMat Facility as well as in the North Area Target Complex.
