Abstract
Tungsten fiber-reinforced tungsten (Wf/W) composites are a promising plasma-facing material, and the microstructure at the interface between W fibers and the W matrix greatly impacts performance. In this study, a new kind of Wf/W-Y2O3 composites was developed with the addition of Y2O3 particles to the W matrix in order to modify the interface microstructure between W fibers and the matrix. The microstructure and mechanical properties of these composites were investigated through sintering at temperatures ranging from 1500 °C to 1800 °C. The Y2O3 particles with a face-centered cubic crystal structure were formed at the interface between W fibers and the matrix, which is beneficial for weakening the bonding strength. The Wf/W-Y2O3 composites exhibited pseudo-plasticity at low sintering temperatures, which show the highest bending strength (261 MPa) and fracture energy (6.66 kJ/m2) at 1600 °C. The grains in W particles become the recrystallized nuclei on the surface of W fiber through the bonding of W powder and W fibers. Then, these recrystallized nuclei grow into W fibers by migration of bonding boundaries. However, the Y2O3 particles in the W powder can inhibit the migration of grain boundaries, thereby suppressing the abnormal grain growth behavior at the surface of W fiber.
钨纤维增强钨(Wf/W)复合材料是一种前景广阔的等离子体面层材料,而钨纤维与钨基体之间界面的微观结构对性能有很大影响。本研究开发了一种新型 Wf/W-Y2O3 复合材料,在 W 基体中加入 Y2O3 颗粒,以改变 W 纤维与基体之间的界面微结构。通过在 1500 °C 至 1800 °C 温度范围内进行烧结,研究了这些复合材料的微观结构和机械性能。在 W 纤维和基体之间的界面上形成了具有面心立方晶体结构的 Y2O3 颗粒,这有利于削弱结合强度。Wf/W-Y2O3 复合材料在低烧结温度下表现出假塑性,在 1600 °C 时弯曲强度(261 MPa)和断裂能(6.66 kJ/m2)最高。W 颗粒中的晶粒通过 W 粉末和 W 纤维的结合成为 W 纤维表面的再结晶核。然后,这些再结晶核通过键合边界的迁移长成 W 纤维。然而,W 粉末中的 Y2O3 颗粒可以抑制晶界迁移,从而抑制 W 纤维表面的异常晶粒生长行为。
