TUNGSTEN RHENIUM COMPOUNDS AND COMPOSITES AND METHODS FOR FORMING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to tungsten rhenium compounds and composites and to methods of forming the same. Tungsten and rhenium powders are mixed together and sintered at high temperature and high pressure to form a unique compound. An ultra hard material may also be added. The tungsten, rhenium, and ultra hard material are mixed together and then sintered at high temperature and high pressure.
