摘要
Tungsten-copper (W-Cu) sintered parts with 75 wt.% W, 24 wt.% Cu and 1 wt.% Ni for using as arcing contacts in medium and high voltage switching devices were developed successfully by powder metallurgy (PM) techniques. Sintered parts with diameter of 50 +/- 0.5 mm and height of 6 +/- 0.5 mm were manufactured by pressing-sintering-infiltration (P-S-I) and spark plasma sintering (SPS) at sintering temperature of 1150 degrees C, and 1050 degrees C, respectively. Physical, chemical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the samples were investigated. Microstructure was analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Material properties were influenced by the consolidation processes. The best results were achieved by SPS process. The relative density was more than 95 %, Vickers hardness HV1/15 was over 227, elastic modulus was over 143 GPa, and homogeneous microstructure was revealed. These good properties can contribute to higher lifetime of arcing contacts under severe working conditions.
