Abstract

This paper reports a study in which a rough tungsten surface was prepared by chemical vapor deposition of tungsten on a tungsten ribbon. The samples were then heated to study the smoothing behavior of the rough surface. The results show that at 1600°C the surface becomes smooth after approximately five to ten hours. At 2400°C the surface becomes smooth within 15 minutes.
