Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The result of expansion of protective part on tungsten more than tungsten and less than tungsten needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

There is a need to provide a protective coating on tungsten as at high temperatures, more than 5400C, the surface tends to react with the contamination of atmospheric gases. A various number of formidable problems have to be overcome before the full potential of tungsten and tungsten-based alloys reach high temperatures.

The other benefits of providing protective cooling are as follows:

  • High bond strength
  • Low porosity, less than 0.5%
  • Low residual stresses
  • High resistance to wear
  • High resistance to corrosion
