Abstract:
Preliminary measurement results of 80W-20Re heavy sinters are presented in this paper. Tested samples were taken from three different technology processes, i.e., resistance sintering (RS), pulse plasma sintering (PPS), and conventional sintering in a vacuum furnace. In the first two cases, the obtained sinters were of similar usable properties (porosity and microhardness), while for vacuum sintering, the material with high porosity was obtained. At the same time, it was found that sintering with the use of electric current (RS, PPS) generates microstructures with highly elongated grains.
