However, high ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of tungsten limits its application. The most viable way of industrial-scale tungsten production is powder metallurgy. Conventional methods use high temperatures and long dwell times. However, this can degrade the mechanical properties of tungsten due to excessive grain growth. Therefore, new sintering techniques and unconventional sintering parameters are explored. The aim is to achieve less demanding single step processing method with the potential to improve mechanical properties. In this study, pure tungsten samples were prepared by Field Assisted Sintering using different dwell times, atmospheres and foils. The effect of the parameters on the impurity concentration was analysed and the mechanical behaviour was evaluated using stress-strain analysis. Significant improvement in mechanical performance has been reached for short dwell times (2 min) and vacuum or Ar + H atmosphere. 2 Workplace Institute of Plasma Physics Contact Vladimíra Kebza, kebza@ipp.cas.cz, Tel.: 266 052 975 Year of Publishing 2022 Electronic address https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263436821000317?via%3Dihub
