Abstract
Studies and selection of plasma facing materials continue to be a conc ern for future fusion devices, and ongoing efforts are being made in t he HL-1M tokamak. The advanced methods of wall modification adopted on HL-1M are surveyed. Significant improvements in tokamak plasma perfor mance have been obtained by using boron, silicon or lithium containing substances as a material for wall coatings. The siliconization techni que is highlighted. Lithiumization, as the newest technique, will be i nvestigated further.
