Mechanical and Fatigue Properties of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Prepared by RF-Plasma

Original language description

Tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) of W-Ni composition was deposited from a blend of standard thermal spray powders using radio frequency inductively coupled plasma torch (RF-ICP) in a protective atmosphere. The deposit (RF WHA) contained a fully developed WHA structure, i.e., spherical W particles embedded in a Ni-rich matrix. The bending tensile strength Rm, bending yield strength Rp,0.2, and elastic modulus of the deposit were compared with two W-Ni-Co references fabricated by powder metallurgy (PM WHA) via sintered and quenched (PMSQ), and forged and annealed (PM-FA). While the RF deposit properties are comparable with the PM-SQ reference, the PMFA exhibited higher mechanical properties. The deposit showed very limited ductility A < 3%. The fatigue crack growth rate in the deposit measured in bending (R < -1) was comparable to the PM-SQ reference material in the near-threshold region whereas the forged PM-FA had significantly better fatigue performance. In the near-threshold fatigue regime, the crack growth took place in the Ni-rich matrix. In the Paris regime, the similar fracture mode was observed, with the exception of PM-SQ, where the tungsten particles fracture contributed significantly. The static failure was exclusively trans-particle in RF WHA, while both PM WHAs failed by a mix of ductile matrix failure and trans-particle cleavage fracture. The fracture toughness of the deposit was significantly lower than the references. These early results indicate that RF-plasma spray is a suitable and efficient manufacturing method for production of WHA materials, however with limited mechanical properties in some aspects.
