Effect of Fe Addition on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of CuW Contact
Fe element was added to W powder to investigate the sintering characteristic of W-skeleton and the mechanical properties of CuW alloy. The effect of Fe content on the microstructure of CuW alloy was analyzed with SEM
TEM and XRD. And the comprehensive performance of CuW alloy was evaluated according to its fracture morphology and strengths of tension and compression. The results show that proper Fe addition can effectively promote the metallurgical bond of Cu/W interface and make the distribution of Cu and W phases in the alloy more uniform. However
excessive addition of Fe causes a rapid increase of the intermetallic compound Fe7W6 at Cu/W interfaces and generates more closed holes in the alloy to significantly weaken the mechanical properties of CuW alloy.
