Abstract

A study has been made of the recrystallization of W-wire, activated by coatings of Ni, Pt and Fe, and of the diffusivity of these metals in the W grain boundaries. The recrystallization is activated significantly by Ni and Pt but much less so by Fe. The effective grain boundary diffusion of the former two in W is also significantly faster than that of Fe. For all three metals the diffusion is faster in a recrystallizing grain structure than in stationary, recrystallized grain boundaries. The active metals form a distinct grain-boundary layer, about 2 nm thick, behind the advancing recrystallization front. The slow diffusion and non-activity of Fe seems to be associated with the existence of the stable intermetallic phase Fe7W6. Above 1910 K, the dissociation temperature of this coumpound, Fe behaves as an activator.
