Conclusions

Low-temperature coreduction of tungsten trioxide and ammonium perrhenate can be employed as a means of preparing active tungsten-rhenium powders having well-developed surfaces and good sinterability. The action of an alloy formation activator manifests itself most strongly with active powders produced by the method of low-temperature coreduction of tungsten trioxide and ammonium perrhenate. Diffusional reaction between the tungsten and rhenium in such a case begins already during the reduction process. At temperatures of intense alloy formation phase interlayers of activator solid solutions form at grain boundaries in tungsten-rhenium alloys. As a result, the diffusional permeability of the boundaries to rhenium atoms grows, which activates the process of diffusional alloy formation.
