摘要
Brittleness problem imposes a severe restriction on the potential application of tungsten as high-temperature structural material. In this paper, a novel toughening method for tungsten is proposed based on reinforcement by tungsten wires. The underlying toughening mechanism is analogous to that of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. Strain energy is dissipated by debonding and frictional sliding at engineered fiber/matrix interfaces. To achieve maximum composite toughness fracture mechanical properties have to be optimized by interface coating. In this work, we evaluated six kinds of ZrOx-based interface coatings. Interfacial parameters such as shear strength and fracture energy were determined by means of fiber push-out tests. The parameter values of the six coatings were comparable to each other and satisfied the criterion for crack deflection. Microscopic analysis showed that debonding occurred mostly between the W filament and the ZrOx coating. Feasibility of interfacial crack deflection was also demonstrated by a three-point bending test. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
