Abstract

Precipitation hardening in the W-phase of the 90W-5Ni-5Fe alloy has been identified and monitored by transmission electron microscopy and mechanical tests. Deformation of the alloy prior to aging is observed to accelerate the precipitation reaction. Possible precipitate origin and geometry are discussed in terms of the TEM observations.
