Effects of sintering temperature on fine-grained tungsten heavy alloy produced by high-energy ball milling assisted spark plasma sintering

Wear behavior and microhardness of some W/Cu functionally graded materials obtained by spark plasma sintering

“…The main fields of applications of W/Cu FGM are: electrical contacts, plasma facing materials, heat sink materials, etc. [21] In recent decades, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) became a popular sintering method which is widely used in fabrication process of different materials as: ceramics, cermets, metals, hard materials, composite materials and FGMs [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The SPS process is different by conventional sintering in that, the cold pre-pressed powder is sintered by discharge impact, spark plasma, Joule heat and intrinsic field effects produced by additional strong pulse currents through the powders.…”

Dynamic deformation behavior of 93W-5.6Ni-1.4Fe heavy alloy prepared by spark plasma sintering

“…The second route is to add inhibitors (such as oxide dispersoids) to prevent grain growth [12,[16][17][18][19]. The last one is to adopt advanced fast sintering techniques such as microwave sintering [20][21][22] and spark plasma sintering (SPS) [23][24][25][26]. Our previous work shows that SPS is an effective method to consolidate blended W-Ni-Fe powders, and 93W-5.6Ni-1.4Fe heavy alloys (93WHAs) with fine spherical W grains of about 6 µm have been fabricated by control of the SPS process [25].…”

Performance of Tungsten Alloy Hardened by Electrospark

“…Tungsten alloy has many excellent properties such as high density, high hardness, high melting point, high thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, etc [1]. In the military, tungsten alloy is often used at strong impact, high temperature, high corrosion occasions such as throat liner of solid rocket motor nozzle, inertial components, core of rod type kinetic energy projectile, etc [2].…”
