Conclusions
-
1.
To obtain fine and evenly distributed thoria particles, it is necessary to produce bars from finegrained powders.
-
2.
To obtain the comparatively large grain that facilitates the working of tungsten, it is necessary to weld bars made of a fine-grained powder at a temperature of 2600±50°C.
-
3.
Only bars of sufficiently high density (>18.0 g/cm3) and even ThO2 particle distribution should be subjected to plastic working.
-
4.
After recrystailization annealing the size of the tungsten grains should be not larger than 5–8μ. All these factors decrease the lamination tendency of tungsten.
