Investigation of Application Possibilities of Re-Ni Alloy Powder to Tungsten Heavy Alloys Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experiments results connected to possibilities of use of Re-Ni alloy powder for tungsten heavy alloys production were presented in the paper. This powder was obtained by nickel (II) perrhenate reduction under dissociated ammonia atmosphere. The optimal conditions for the thermal reduction for nickel (II) perrhenate were determined. The production process of investigated sinters contained, among others, cold isostatic pressing and two-staged sintering. Selected results of microstructure investigation and mechanical properties of obtained sinters were shown. Performed research indicated that the application of nickel (II) perrhenate to manufacture tungsten heavy alloys resulted in material with the microstructure typical of tungsten heavy alloys and characterized by high mechanical properties.
