  • 1. AN Ukrainskoj SSR, Kiev. Inst. Problem Prochnosti

Description

The paper presents results of a complex physicomechanical study of tungsten crack resistance. The presence of a descending portion of curve in a temperature range from Tsub(x)sup(b) to 2 000 deg C is a characteristic feature of Ksub(Ic) temperature dependence. Changes in the tungsten physical state under isotherma heating were analysed on the basis of the results of metallographic, X-ray and electron fractographic studies. Certain results obtained are shown to be contradicting
