Problems solved by technology

However, tungsten has disadvantages such as low-temperature brittleness and recrystallization brittleness, which make it prone to brittle fracture and difficult to process, which affects its application range.
In addition, the strength of pure tungsten will obviously decrease with the increase of temperature, and pure tungsten will be recrystallized and embrittled at high temperature.
[0003] In order to improve the strength and toughness of metal tungsten, people have made some attempts and efforts, such as adding high melting point second phase particles to tungsten, such as titanium carbide and zirconium carbide , lanthanum oxide, yttrium oxide, etc., can play the role of dispersion strengthening and refining tungsten grains, can increase the high temperature strength and recrystallization temperature of tungsten, but reduce the toughness of tungsten
The main reason is that these particles are large in size and mostly distributed at grain boundaries, which will lead to stress concentration and easily become the starting point of cracks, thus affecting the toughness

Abstract

The invention discloses a nanostructure tungsten-zirconium carbide alloy. The nanostructure tungsten-zirconium carbide alloy comprises the following components by weight percentage: 98-99.8% of tungsten, and 0.2-2.0% of zirconium carbide with the grain diameter of 5-300 nm, wherein the zirconium carbide grains are mostly uniformly distributed in the interiors of the tungsten crystal grains. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the alloy. The prepared alloy has good mechanical property and high-temperature stability; the zirconium carbide nanograins can be uniformly distributed in the interiors of the tungsten crystal grains, so that stress concentration and embrittlement generated by coarse particle in the tungsten crystal grains are avoided; the strength and high-temperature performance can be improved by pinning dislocation, and meanwhile, the toughness is ensured.
