The application relates to the technical field of
tungsten-
rhenium alloy, and discloses a
tungsten-
rhenium alloy stir head material for
friction stir welding, which is characterized in that the
tungsten-
rhenium alloy stir head material is prepared by reducing and
sintering tungsten-rhenium precursors, the tungsten-rhenium precursors are prepared by using
ammonium metatungstate,
ammonium rhenate and
oxalic acid as raw materials, and the application further discloses a preparation method of the tungsten-rhenium alloy stir head material, which comprises the following steps: S1, tungsten-rhenium precursor preparation: after
ammonium metatungstate, ammonium rhenate and
oxalic acid are dissolved, stirred and heated to react,
spray drying is carried out to obtain tungsten-rhenium precursor
powder; and S2, tungsten-rhenium precursor
powder reduction: tungsten-rhenium precursor
powder is heated and reduced in a
hydrogen environment to obtain tungsten-rhenium alloy powder. The preparation process is simple, fast, low in cost and convenient for batch industrial production; the prepared single-phase tungsten-rhenium alloy is high in
hardness and density and uniform in composition; the
relative density of the tungsten-rhenium alloy after
sintering reaches 99.6%, the microhardness value is 585+ / -5 Hv, and the grain size is 1-2 mu m.
