Abstract
A consolidated tungsten heavy alloy body consisting essentially of from about 88% to about 98% by weight of tungsten, from about 0.25% to about 1.5% by weight of a grain size reducing additive selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhenium and mixtures thereof, balance iron and nickel in a weight ratio of nickel to iron of from about 1:1 to about 9:1 wherein the consolidated body has greater than about 2500 grains per square millimeter as determined from the microstructure of the body. A process for producing the consolidated body comprises forming a relative uniform blend of the described metal powders, compacting the powders to form a green body then solid state sintering to remove binders followed by liquid phase sintering the green body to full density.
