Effect of Composition on Tensile and Impact Properties of Tungsten-Based Heavy Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tungsten heavy alloy of two different compositions (93W-4.0Ni-2.0Co-1.0Fe and 90W-6.1Ni-3.0Fe-0.5Co-0.4Mo in wt%) was synthesized in conventional powder metallurgy route through the liquid phase sintering. Studies have been carried out on the effect of alloying elements, tungsten particle size, and amount of matrix on mechanical properties. The alloy with 93% W had shown the higher tensile strength value and lower elongation along with double the value of impact energy than that of 90% W due to lower tungsten particle size and weight fraction in addition to an increase in cobalt and increase in ratio of iron to nickel. Relatively higher porosity could also have resulted in reduced properties.
