Abstract: The composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of 20Wf/30ZrCp/W composite produced using hot pressing technique were investigated. Results show that the relative density reaches 98.5%. The tungsten wires are well distributed within the ZrCp/W matrix with preferred orientation. There is an interdiffusion of Zr and W in ZrCp/W interface, which results in (Zr, W)C solid solution forming and a strong bond between ZrC particle and tungsten wire or tungsten. The tungsten wires are recrystallized and have no strengthening and toughening effects on ZrCp/W matrix. The strength and fracture toughness of 20Wf/30ZrCp/W composite are 504 Pa and 9.48 MPa·m1/2, respectively.
Microstructure and mechanical properties of 20Wf/30ZrCp/W composite
Abstract:
The composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of 20W f/30ZrC p/W composite produced using hot pressing technique were investigated. Results show that the relative density reaches 98.5%. The tungsten wires are well distributed within the ZrC p/W matrix with preferred orientation. There is an interdiffusion of Zr and W in ZrC p/W interface, which results in (Zr, W) C solid solution forming and a strong bond between ZrC particle and tungsten wire or tungsten. The tungsten wires are recrystallized and have no strengthening and toughening effects on ZrC p/W matrix. The strength and fracture toughness of 20W f/30ZrC p/W composite are 504?MPa and 9.48?MPa·m 1/2 , respectively.[
