Excellent performance of W–Y2O3 composite via powder process improvement and Y2O3 refinement

In this article, Y2O3-reinforced tungsten composites are fabricated by using an improved wet chemical method combined with the spark plasma sintering (SPS). Triethanolamine (TEA) surfactant addition and an appropriate calcination process are innovatively introduced into this wet chemical method. The...
