Abstract

The effect of additions of scandium oxide (1, 5, and 10 vol. %) on compaction during sintering of a disperse mixture of W-Sc2O3 powder at 2000°C has been studied. It has been found that the scandium oxide particles activate compaction during heating and conversely retard shrinkage of tungsten in the stage of isothermal soaking. The kinetics of compaction during sintering is determined by the geometry of the heterophase system. Depending on how much the tungsten and scandium oxide particles increase in size, the nature of thestructure changes markedly from matrix-statistical to statistical.
