Characteristics of liquid-phase-sintered tungsten heavy alloys
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5486037
The tungsten heavy alloys are metal-metal composites produced by liquid-phase sintering of mixed tungsten, nickel, and iron powders. The tungsten single crystal grains are interconnected and the grain shape is adjusted to fill space. These alloys usually contain 80 to 98 wt.% tungsten, and exhibit a unique combination of high density, strength, and ductility. They are used extensively as kinetic energy penetrators as well as for intertial components, counterbalance weights, and radiation containers.
