Research abstract
Tungsten heavy alloys exhibiting unique property combination of high density (17-18 g/c), high strength, high ductility, and good corrosion resistance, have found applications in both military and civilian areas. There is a demand for producing largeparts from this material. Fabricating massive shapes from these alloys is difficult. The alloy is usually liquid phase sintered (LPS) resulting in gravity induced slumping (known as
