Abstract:We present research into tungsten (W) alloy-based composites reinforced with a W-mesh. Due to low activation and higher strength properties, W 0.5 TaTiVCr was used as a matrix material. Layers of W-mesh (W mesh ) were embedded in W 0.5 TaTiVCr for improving ductility and toughness. We employed elemental powder mixing and spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1600 • C for sample preparation, which is a simpler method as compared to chemical vapor infiltration and hot isostatic pressing. The microstructural analysis s… Show more
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.
