Evaluation of Tungsten Alloy Rods

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of metallurgical evaluations conducted to assess the failure mechanism for tungsten alloy rods following dynamic fracture tests. Optical and electron microscopy evaluations were conducted on the six samples supplied. Based on these results, recommendations are provided for modeling the fracture process and for future fracture tests.
