Abstract
Compaction kinetics during liquid-phase sintering of W-Co-Sn powder composites containing 90 mass% refractory component and 10 mass% readily-melting component is studied. It is established that compaction kinetics depends markedly on cobalt content in the melt. Specimens with a cobalt content up to 3 mass% at 1200 °C (in the nonisothermal heating stage) undergo an increase in volume, and then they are compacted at a rate typical for liquid-phase sintering. The nonuniform nature of compaction is observed with an increase in cobalt in the test composites. Specimens with a cobalt mass fraction of more than 2% (cobalt content with three-phase equilibrium) experience considerable additional growth due to formation of the intermetallic compound W6Co7 whose decomposition temperature exceeds the liquid-phase sintering temperature.
