Green: Compacted at 210 MPa
Tungsten content in weight percent (that is 93W represents 93 wt.% W with
7 wt% Ni-3Fe).
In addition, notation is for powder blends, since liquid will retain W after
processing lowering the W content.
Experimental Conditions
Six cartridges containing 7 samples (one for each composition) were sintered
at 1500°C for 1, 60, and 120 minutes under microgravity and 1 g conditions.
