مستخلص: The main purpose of this work is to optimize the mechanical properties of tungsten–copper (W–Cu) nanocomposite fabricated by the sintering process. For this purpose, the parameters of sintering temperature, sintering time and weight percentage of copper were selected to optimize the compression strength, impact strength, hardness and corrosion resistance of the W–Cu nanocomposite using the desirability function procedure and response surface method. The analyses of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were also performed to examine the microstructure of W–Cu nanocomposite. The results exhibited that a rise in the sintering temperature from 1000C to 1150C significantly enhanced the impact strength of W–Cu nanocomposite, while a rise in the sintering temperature from 1150C to 1300C deteriorated the impact strength. Moreover, the compression strength and hardness of the W–Cu nanocomposite continuously improved by elevation of sintering temperature from 1000C to 1300C. A rise in the amount of Cu from 20 wt.% to 40 wt.% led to a reduction in the hardness of the W–Cu nanocomposite, while a rise of Cu content improved the impact and compression strengths. The results also indicated that the mechanical properties of W–Cu nanocomposite enhanced simultaneously by using 27 wt.% Cu at sintering temperature of 1197C and sintering time of 2.7 h. The samples sintered at the optimal conditions indicated a higher corrosion resistance than that sintered at the initial conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
