Paper Abstract
Mechanical and thermodynamic measurements are reported for specimens spark plasma sintered from tungsten nano-powder.
A maximum Vickers hardness of 3.31±0.03 GPa, at a relative density of 0.98 was achieved at sintering
temperature of 1,800°C and above. This corresponds to the value of hardness for bulk tungsten. Grain size analysis
indicated a grain growth activation energy of 160±10% KJ/mol. Sintering temperatures were found to be as much as
270°C lower than previously reported. During the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), a reduction in the amount of tungsten
oxide was observed, especially at temperatures above 1,500°C. A number of mechanisms are thought to be responsible
including the SPS induced decomposition of the oxide into metallic tungsten.
