Abstract: | The effect of the size and shape of tungsten particles on dynamic torsional properties in tungsten heavy alloys was investigated.
Dynamic torsional tests were conducted on seven tungsten alloy specimens, four of which were fabricated by repeated sintering,
using a torsional Kolsky bar, and then the test results were compared via microstructure, mechanical properties, adiabatic shear banding, and deformation and fracture mode. The size of tungsten particles
and their hardness were increased as sintering temperature and time were increased, thereby deteriorating fracture toughness.
The dynamic torsional test results indicated that in the specimens whose tungsten particles were coarse and irregularly shaped,
cleavage fracture occurred predominantly with little shear deformation, whereas shear deformation was concentrated into the
center of the gage section in the conventionally fabricated specimens. The deformation and fracture behavior of the specimens
having coarse tungsten particles correlated well with the observation of the in situ fracture test results, i.e., cleavage crack initiation and propagation. These findings suggested that there would be an appropriate tungsten particle
size because the cleavage fracture mode would be beneficial for the “self-sharpening” of the tungsten heavy alloys. |
