Abstract:
Porous tungsten-rhenium powders with various compositions were prepared by a spray drying method combined with two-stage hydrogen reduction. Using the W-Re powders, W-Re alloy substrates were successfully fabricated by high temperature sintering under the protection of hydrogen. X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and temperature programmed reduction were carried out to study the reduction behavior of the tungsten and rhenium containing precursor powders prepared by spray drying. It reveals that the first stage reduction temperature has a significant impact on the microstructure of the W-Re powders. Rhenium in the mixed powder affects the reduction behavior of WO3. Properties of the W-Re alloy matrices, including relative density, open porosity, mechanical characteristics and electronic structures are also investigated. The first-principles calculation method proved that rhenium reduces the reduction barrier of WO3, and W-Re compounds obtained in this study are suggested to be a ductile material.
