Pure tungsten (W) is a primary plasm-facing material (PFM) candidate because of its superior properties, but it still has some drawbacks. In order to solve these problems, various methods have been used to improve the performances of tungsten-based materials. Potassium (K) doping, as one of the typical dispersion-strengthening methods for W materials, improves low temperature brittleness, reduces the ductile-brittle transition temperature, and suppresses the recrystallization. Meanwhile, it also improves the thermal shock resistance and fracture toughness of the material by introducing nano-sized K bubbles. However, this method brings a large number of defects inevitably. In fact, the K bubbles and the dislocations which are pinned by these K bubbles can affect the morphology and evolution of hydrogen (H) and helium (He) atoms in the alloys. As a very sensitive method to detect vacancy-type defects in materials, positron annihilation spectroscopy is used to study the irradiation damage caused by H and He atoms in this paper. The calculation of positron lifetime shows that positrons are more sensitive to the vacancy-type defects. Bounding of H and He with vacancies reduces the positron lifetime because of the increase of valence electron density. Combining the calculated results with the positron annihilation lifetime spectrum (PLAS) results shows that the W-K alloy is easier to promote the H atoms to release. Besides, it also more likely to form larger He bubbles which can be estimated by positron lifetime values. The result is also confirmed by the measurements from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and slow positron Doppler broadening spectroscopy (DBS). The defects in the W-K alloy such as K bubbles and their pinned dislocations can act as diffusion channels to promote the H atoms to release, which gives rise to a smoother surface under the pure H irradiation. Meanwhile, under the condition of the H+6%He irradiation, the K bubbles and their pinned dislocations in the W-K alloy become the capture center of He atoms, promote their nucleation and grow into larger He bubbles. Moreover, under the action of stress and temperature gradient, some of the He bubbles migrate to the surface and release, this process is conducive to the recovery of related defects and the reduction of radiation damage.
