A method to prepare ultra-
fine grain tungsten-
copper alloy and the
tungsten-
copper alloy, it belongs to
powder metallurgy technology field. The solution of concentrated HNO3 and solution of Cu (NO3)2 will be added into the solution of (NH4)2WO4 at the condition that they are blended, the
chemical deposition reaction will occur in the
agitator. And then the deposit will be burned and grinded to produce the composite
powder of
tungsten-
copper oxidate. The composite
powder will be reduced at low temperature in the
pipe furnace, and nanometer tungsten-copper composite powder can be gained, and then they will be pressed to take shape, the pressed compact will be sintered at the protection of H2 and ultra-
fine grain tungsten-
copper alloy can be gained. The weight percent of copper in a kind of tungsten-
copper alloy produced according to the above method is 20%, the
relative density of the
alloy is 98.0%-99.7%, the average
crystal grain size of the tungsten in the alloy is 0.5-1.5 mu m, the electrical resistance of the alloy is 0.035-0.041X10-6
omega .m, the heat-transmit index is 200-223W.m-1.k-1. The
advantage of it is that. The densification degree of the alloy is high, the tungsten
crystal grain is small and uniform, the copper is highly dispersed to compose a compact net. And the flow of it is short, the technology operation is easy and reliable, the production efficiency is high, the energy and production cost is lower, and an industrial production can be carried on according the method.
