Tungsten　based　vanadium　alloys　have　been　fabricated　by　powder　metallurgy　and　consolidated　by　spark　plasma　sintering　(SPS)　at　temperature　of　1600　degrees　C　for　3-5　min　at　50　MPa.　Four　different　concentrations　of　vanadium　ranging　from　1　to　10　wt.%　were　used　to　investigate　the　behavior　of　the　developed　alloys.　X-ray　diffraction　analyses　were　performed　for　all　four　compositions　of　tungsten　vanadium　alloys.　The　morphology　of　cross　sectional　crack　surfaces　of　sintered　alloys　was　analyzed　by　scanning　electron　microscopy.　The　variations　of　vanadium　concentration　has　not　only　shown　an　obvious　impact　on　the　microstructures,　but　also　improved　the　densification　and　mechanical　properties　of　the　tungsten　based　materials.　The　maximum　relative　density　of　98.5%　was　achieved　for　the　highest　concentration　(10　wt.%)　of　vanadium　alloy　with　micro　hardness　of　507　HV　and　good　bending　strength　of　692.5　MPa.　(C)　2014　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
