Abstract
W fiber reinforced-W/Cu composite is designed as a transition layer between CuCrZr heat sink material and W plasma facing material. A novel method was developed for the preparation of W fiber reinforced-W/Cu composite by combining combustion synthesis with centrifugal infiltration. Cu melt with a transient temperature over 2000 °C produced by the thermite reaction was infiltrated into the W powder and fiber bed with the assistance of a high gravity field. It was found that the W particles were sintered and bonded to the W fibers due to the high temperature produced by the thermite reaction. The bending strength of W/Cu composite improved 12.7% through W fibers reinforcement.
