High-tungsten alloys were prepared by powder metallurgy techniques. Excellent strength and ductility at room temperature were found in the W --Ni -- Mo --Ru system and in W--Ni --Fe alloys containing platinum and/or ruthenium. The effects of prolonged annealing at 1600 deg F on roomtemperature properties were studied; W --Ni -- Fe --R --Ru alloys were least affected by this treatment. Oxidation rates for most alloys at 2000 deg F were 2 to 4 times that of unalloyed tungsten; an exception was a W--Ni --Mo --Ru alloy which oxidized at 1/5 the rate of tungsten. Slip casting techniques and induction-sintering of loosely compacted powders were used to produce compacts of W --Ni -Fe materials having section thicknesses of 1 to 2 inches. (auth)
