Abstract:
HIGH TEMPRATURE COMPOSITIES OF A DISPERSION STRENGTHENED TUNGSTEN WHEREIN A PORTION OF THE REFRACTORY COMPOUNDS ARE REPRICIPITATED FOR UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION AND A FINER PARTICLES SIZE.
Abstract:
A method of making a fiber composite having high strength at 2000* to 2200* F. by slip casting a nickel alloy matrix slurry into an array of tungsten fibers. The slip is dried and sintered in dry hydrogen at 1500* F. for one hour. The resulting body is isostatically hot pressed at 20,000 p.s.i. and 1500* F. for one hour, followed by a second isostalic hot pressing at 2000* F. for 1 hour.
