N2 - New generations of fusion devices need alternative plasma-facing materials. The currently approved material composition for the first wall and divertor of the ITER tokamak has a number of disadvantages: insufficient resistance to thermal shock, sputtering of microparticles into plasma and high atomic number Z of the armor material. A promising but largely untested idea is the proposal to use high-temperature ceramics as armor materials for the most heat-loaded plasma-facing components of new-generation fusion devices. Among the advantages of ceramics are the low Z and high enough resistance to intense heating. More research is needed that would help to understand how the material withstands high heat fluxes during transient plasma events. This work is devoted to the description of an experimental method that makes it possible to estimate the critical temperature at which the damage of ceramics begins as a result of a thermal shock of submillisecond duration. As a demonstration of the efficiency of the method, the critical temperature for hot pressed B4C under thermal shock was determined: its value was about 1200–1400 K.
