The effect of the tungsten addition on the mechanical properties of high-purity 60 mass%Cr-Fe alloy was investigated. High-purity 60 mass%Cr-Fe-4 mass%W alloy ingots were prepared by melting in a newly designed high-frequency induction furnace equipped with a cold copper crucible. The purity of the ingots were higher than 99.98 mass% after the analysis of 21 elements. The deformability at temperatures of 1273 to 1573 K and the tensile properties between 293 K and 1073 K were measured by Gleeble test and tensile test. It was found that the tensile strength of 60 mass%Cr-Fe-4 mass%W alloy is higher than that of 60 mass%Cr-Fe alloy, and the addition of tungsten is effective in improving tensile properties of a 60 mass%Cr-Fe alloy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
