以纳米TiC、超细W粉为原料,经球磨混合、冷等静压成形、1950℃高温烧结制备出直径40mm、长度120mm的W-6wt%TiC复合材料棒材。通过线切割、表面打磨制备出5mm×5mm×35mm的长条试样,通过机械加工制备出截面为Φ4mm、有效长度24mm的棒状拉伸试样。采用x射线衍射(XRD, Cu-Ka辐射)检测材料的物相组成。微观结构、断口和界面采用场发射扫描电子显微镜进行(Quanta FEG 250)配备EDX探测器,以及TEM(FEI Titan G2 60–300,300 KV)进行表征。拉伸试样在 2×10−4 /s应变速率下进行检测,维氏法(施加5 kg的压力15 s)进行硬度(HV)试验,并取5个数的平均值。
W-6wt% TiC composite rods of 40mm in diameter and 120mm in length were prepared by ball-mill mixing, cold isostatic forming, and high temperature sintering at 1950°C using nano-TiC and ultra-fine W powder as raw materials. The long specimens of 5mm×5mm×35mm were prepared by wire cutting and surface grinding, and the rod tensile specimens with cross-section of Φ4mm and effective length of 24mm were prepared by mechanical processing. The material phase composition of the material was examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD, Cu-Ka radiation). Microstructure, fractures and interfaces were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (Quanta FEG 250) equipped with an EDX detector, and TEM (FEI Titan G2 60-300, 300 KV). Tensile specimens were examined at a strain rate of 2 × 10-4 /s and hardness (HV) tests were performed by the Vickers method (5 kg of pressure applied for 15 s) and averaged over 5 numbers.
