In future fusion reactors, tungsten is the prime candidate material for the plasma facing components. Nevertheless, tungsten is prone to develop cracks due to its intrinsic brittleness-a major concern under the extreme conditions of fusion environment. To overcome this drawback, tungsten fiber reinforced tungsten (W f /W) composites are being developed. These composite materials rely on an extrinsic toughing principle, similar to those in ceramic matrix composite, using internal energy dissipation mechanisms, such as crack bridging and fiber pull-out, during crack propagation. This can help W f /W to facilitate a pseudo-ductile behavior and allows an elevated damage resilience compared to pure W. For pseudo-ductility mechanisms to occur, the interface between the fiber and matrix is crucial. Recent developments in the area of powder-metallurgical W f /W are presented. Two consolidation methods are compared. Field assisted sintering technology (FAST) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) are chosen to manufacture the Wf/W composites. Initial mechanical
