For manufacturing a heavy duty W-Cu composite a porous tungsten skeleton is required which later can be filled by molten copper via infiltration technique The compression force usually up to 200 MPa can be provided by cold isostatic press (CIP) and the temperatures used for sintering the green compacts are more 2000 C However in this research high pressure within the range of 200 to 663 MPa was used to produce high density green specimens (60 80%) by CIP while sintering was carried out at a moderate temperature of 1550 C The tungsten skeletons were infiltrated with molten copper at 1300 C
The reduction of sintering temperature from over 2000 C to 1550 C for a highly densified W skeleton not only resulted into a successful production of W Cu composites but also the obtained phys
