Figure 2.4.120: Surface temperature distribution of a graphite target mounted with spokes and shaft on an<br />

axle (rotating with 60 rpm around a water cooled block) irradiated with a 238 U beam (1 A GeV, 10 12 ions/s,<br />

Gaussian beam profile with σx = 1 mm and σy = 2 mm) according to an ANSYS simulation.<br />

Another important issue are the thermally-induced tensions in the graphite wheel, which were<br />

calculated with the ANSYS code and are shown below (see Figure 2.4.122, left side). Maximum<br />

stress values of less than 7 MPa have been obtained, which is well within the technical tension<br />

range for graphite. Higher stress values have been found for the INCONEL spokes connecting the<br />

graphite parts with the hub of the target wheel. As the right-hand side of Figure 2.4.122 shows, the<br />

maximum stress amounts to about 200 MPa, again well below the listed tensile strength of<br />

INCONEL of about 600 MPa.<br />
