Abstract

The fabrication of ductile tungsten alloys was investigated and their mechanical properties measured. Tungsten-nickel-iron alloys with tungsten contents of 93 percent or higher were studied most extensively. The influences of various processing parameters upon ductility are reported. Of those alloys which attained a density of approximately 18.00 g/cm/sup 3/, the 95 percent W--3.5 percent Ni--1.5 percent Fe was found to be the most ductile, elongating 17.6 percent on the average and as much as 28 percent, and having average ultimate and yield strengths of 136,900 and 92,500 psi, respectively.
