Abstract
The conditions for the synthesis of Al-Cr-W alloys during the aluminothermic reduction of a mineral tungsten concentrate - scheelite were considered. The alloys were identified as an aluminum matrix by the methods of elemental and X-ray phase analyzes. It is shown that the alloy synthesized from scheelite concentrate contains small amounts of iron and oxygen impurities (1.2 wt. %). It has been established that the alloys have a composite structure: inclusions of continuously solid solutions based on chromium and tungsten, as well as chromium aluminides Al3(Cr, W, Fe)2, which have increased microhardness values (12.9 GPa) are distributed in the aluminum matrix.
