Conference ·
OSTI ID:4110239

A process for the production of seamless tungsten tubing is described. The process consists of the extrusion of sintered powder sleeves at elevated temperatures to sizes close to the final dimension. The tubing is finished by warm drawing. A size range of 0.100-in, diameter to 1 1/2-in. diameter has been fabricated. A preliminary evaluation of properties of the extruded tubes is given. (auth)
