Fractographic study of a tungsten-copper pseudoalloy

Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

The addition of silicon has a refining effect on a tungsten-copper pseudoalloy and improves its properties. Some increase in the strength and ductility of the alloy is observed. A silicon addition changes the character of fracture of the pseudoalloy from interto transgranular. The effect of a zirconium addition on the properties of the pseudoalloy is less than that of a silicon addition.
