With an orthogonal experimental design, Spark plasma sintering method was used to create tungsten carbide with Al 2025 composites. Pressure, temperature, and hold time all had an influence on the mechanical characteristics of the composites. Pressure had the greatest effect on density and bending strength, followed by temperature and holding duration. After five minutes of sintering at 556°C under 40 MPa, a 50% tungsten carbide/Al 2025 composite material was produced, resulting in a density of 997.7 percent and a spectacular bending strength of 766.65 MPa. This study revealed the ability of high-volume fraction mixes to support huge loads.
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.
