Pure tungsten and tungsten alloys with minor alloying additions are known to be brittle at
room temperature and have high ductile-to-brittle transition temperatures (DBTT). Improving …

Tungsten (W) materials are gaining more and more attention due to the extended
applications of metallic systems in the extreme environments. Given W's unique …

Refractory tungsten (W) is notoriously brittle at room temperature, which restricts its
workability and narrows the temperature range of critical applications. Here, we report a …

In order to synthesize carbide dispersion strengthened tungsten (CDS-W) with high
performance, the W-(0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 wt%) TiC alloys were synthesized by novel freeze-drying …

Abstract Development of refractory metals for application as plasma-facing armour material
remains among priorities of fusion research programmes in Europe, China and Japan …

Tungsten is a refractory metal with the highest melting point of all metals, which is
considered as a promising candidate material for plasma-facing materials in the future …

Bulk pure tungsten (W), W-0.5 wt% TiC (WTC05) and W-1 wt% Y 2 O 3 (WY10) materials
were prepared by a developed two-step hot-pressing (HP) sintering method. Metallographic …

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is one of the methods used to achieve the low-temperature
densification of refractory metal materials. In this study, powder prepared through a wet …

In order to alleviate the difficulties of coarse grains and poor mechanical properties in
traditional hot worked bulk W alloys, we designed the entire chain preparation process …

Abstract W-(0–0.9) TiC (wt.%) alloys were prepared by a wet-chemical method and spark
plasma sintering. The effects of TiC content on the microstructures, mechanical properties …
