This work studied damage and erosion of the tungsten and molybdenum after exposure to deuterium ions of a Plasma focus device. The main purpose and idea of this research work was an experimental investigation of surface changes on the tungsten and molybdenum materials at deuterium optimal gas pressure in the chamber of a PF device. Before and after irradiation the sample surfaces were analyzed using SEM, AFM and an optical microscope. The analysis showed that the change in surface relieves 0.0377 – 0,0125 µm, different types of damage on materials dependent on irradiation parameters. With increasing the 10-30 number of shots, the micro-cracks 74-172 nm, and radiation swelling for molybdenum, also the crater, bubbles, holes 64-453 nm and cavities on the tungsten sample surface were observed respectively. It is established that a noticeable erosion for tungsten up to Δm=-31 mg and molybdenum Δm=-43 mg samples as a result of irradiation with plasma flows simulating a stationary regime occurs only at relatively high sample surface temperatures.
