The present work has extended the study to further binder chemistries: Co, Ni, CoNi and CoNiCr, which have been evaluated both with and without Ru additions. The results indicate that Ru additions increase the solubility of elements like W and Cr for all binder chemistries, both at low and at high carbon contents. The solubility of W is the lowest in the Cr-containing systems (CoNiCr and CoNiCrRu), however, due to the presence of Cr, the total amount of elements in solution is the highest from all binders.

However, the grain size of WHAs prepared by conventional liquid phase sintering is coarse, which limits the further improvement of their mechanical properties. Designing high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as the binder phase provides a novel way to inhibit tungsten grain coarsening and improve the properties of WHAs due to the hysteresis diffusion effect of HEAs. In our previous research, a fine-grain and ultrahigh-strength WHA with non-equiatomic Ni<sub>5.5</sub>Fe<sub>2.5</sub>CoCr HEA as the binder phase was designed and successfully fabricated through the spark plasma sintering (SPS)method. In this study, vacuum heat treatment was adopted to further enhance the strength - toughness matching performance of the material. A systematic investigation was carried out on the impacts of the heat treatment process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the 90W-Ni<sub>5.5</sub>Fe<sub>2.5</sub>CoCr alloy. The results show that the single - heat - treatment process exerts little influence on the microstructure and properties of 90 W-Ni<sub>5.5</sub>Fe<sub>2.5</sub>CoCr alloy. In contrast, the two - step heat - treatment process can remarkably optimize the distribution of the precipitated phases within the alloy. This optimization effectively enhances the plasticity of the alloy. Specifically, the fracture elongation can be increased from approximately 10 % to around 16 %. Moreover, it has been discovered that dislocations are predominantly distributed at the interface between the binder phase and the W phase. This distribution pattern is conducive to promoting the plastic - deformation capacity of the alloy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14216,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Refractory Metals & Hard Materials","volume":"128 ","pages":"Article 107096"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143420936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pressure-less sinter-fusing shows promise as a relatively non-invasive joining method for dissimilar materials, and it can be performed in an inert atmosphere or under vacuum. Sinter-fusing as a method for joining low-activation cWC and RSB materials to mild steels was investigated using various braze alloy mixtures as a paste and metal foils. A selection of low-activation braze alloys was investigated to join cWC and RSB to steel using sinter-fusing at 1300 °C in Ar for 2 h. Low-activating braze alloys were based on Cu and Fe as the major components with additions including Cr, Zr, Ti, C, B and Si as minor components. SEM-EDX was used to assess the quality of bonding and diffusion of the braze compounds post-sintering. The Vickers hardness mechanical test was carried out for the base materials and the joint interface, and the fracture toughness values were calculated from the hardness data.
