Microstructural analysis revealed that WC particles are distributed along the tungsten wire, with larger particles at the center and smaller ones at the edges. The formation of the reinforcement occurs in two stages: first, a solid-liquid reaction between the solid tungsten wire and molten iron during the lost foam casting process, promoting WC formation at high temperatures and carbon potential; second, an in situ solid-solid reaction where Fe diffuses and Fe<sub>3</sub>W<sub>3</sub>C decomposes, forming a composite structure of WC and α-Fe.
