Abstract

W/WC composite powders formed of WC ceramic particles dispersed on the surface of tungsten powders were fabricated by vapor deposition carbonization. Furthermore, W-30 wt.%Cu composites reinforced with WC ceramic particles were prepared by mechanical mixing, compacting, sintering, and infiltration. The microstructure, phase composition, and structure of the W/WC composite powders and the W-30 wt.%Cu composites reinforced with WC were characterized. The hardness, electrical conductivity, and arc erosion resistance of the W-30 wt.%Cu composites reinforced with WC were evaluated and compared with those of a conventional W-30 wt.%Cu composite. The results confirmed successful fabrication of the W/WC composite powders and W-30 wt.%Cu composites reinforced with WC. The hardness, electrical conductivity, and arc erosion resistance of the W-30 wt.%Cu composites reinforced with WC were dramatically enhanced due to the introduction of WC ceramic particles by vapor deposition carbonization.
