Abstract
The possibility of reducing the linear thermal expansion coefficient ( LTEC) of heavy tungsten-base alloys by replacing the binder by one pos sessing Invar properties is studied. Use of Invar type alloys of the F e-Ni and Fe-Co-Cr types as binders makes it possible to prepare heavy alloys with lower LTEC than for the base (tungsten). Tungsten dissolut ion in the binder is the main factor which restricts the LTEC of heavy alloys with an Invar binder.
