Shielding materials, Fe–W–C alloy (wt.%) with the different tungsten content and higher density was successfully prepared by powder metallurgical processing sequences comprising of mechanical alloying, compaction and liquid phase sintering. The process parameters such as mechanical alloying conditions, compaction pressure, sintering atmosphere, and sintering schedule were optimized to achieve the desired sintered density. The synthesized alloy was characterized for the evolution of microstructure, phases and mechanical properties using scanni...
