Reverse engineering process of cryostat components of Wendelstein 7-X

Abstract The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator is a superconducting fusion experiment, presently under construction at the Greifswald branch of the Max-Planck-Institut fur Plasmaphysik. This paper gives an overview of the reverse engineering processes applied on cryostat components of the W7-X superconducting magnet system.
