Abstract

For the past century the processing of refractory metals and alloys has been linked to powder metallurgy (P/M). A firm understanding of processing has been critical to attaining the desired performance levels. Although the consolidation science is in good shape, the availability of tailored powders with appropriate attributes is a limitation. This presentation reviews the key issues related to refractory metal and alloy processing, with particular emphasis on tungsten and its alloys. An exciting growth area is in liquid phase sintering microelectronic systems where the concern is with thermal properties, specifically for W-Cu and Mo-Cu.
