Abstract

Residual stresses were studied in tungsten heavy alloy bars produced by powder metallurgy and deformed by rotary swaging at room temperature (RT) and at 900 °C. Neutron diffraction technique was used to scan the residual stresses across the bars. Both tungsten particles and NiCo2W solid solution matrix were analysed. Maximum axial stresses of ~ 300 MPa and ~ 200 MPa were observed for the tungsten phase at the centre in the RT and in the high-temperature deformed samples, respectively. Compressive residual axial stresses were found close to the sample surface, showing that rotary swaging is a suitable deformation method for tungsten heavy alloys to provide an appropriate surface modification for its use in metallic parts undergoing, e.g., fatigue. Residual stresses developed in the NiCo2W-phase are larger than those found in the tungsten particles although with a secondary role in the overall equilibrium conditions due to its lower strength and smaller volume fraction. Total stresses for each phase were separated into macro- and microstresses. Macrostresses can be mainly influenced by the incompatibility of the elliptical cross-section of the sintered sample with the head of the rotary machine while microstresses are mainly developed by the elastic mismatch between the constituent phases.
