Modified Tungsten Materials by K-Doping, La2O3 Particles Dispersion, and Re Alloying

Metallographic images obtained by optical microscope of pure W and K-doped W image

K-doping, dispersion of La2O3 particles, and Re alloying have been mainly used as modification methods for modified tungsten materials. To clarify the effect of these modifications, the main conditions of the basic production route were the same for all materials, including cold isostatic pressing, sintering, rolling or forging, and finally heat treatment for stress relief. In order to study the effect of the reduction rate (deformation rate) in rolling and forging, several levels of deformation rates were used.
