Abstract
Diamond Coated Tungsten (W) fibres/wires have been produced by hot fil ament chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD), and their Young's modulus me asured using a resonance test. Changing the diamond deposition conditi ons results in changes in morphology, grainsize, film thickness, and q uality, which in turn affects the composite fibre modulus and other me chanical properties (e.g. strength and fracture toughness). The aim of this investigation was to see the effect of varying the methane(CH4) concentration and the deposition time on fibre modulus. (C) 1997 Elsev ier Science S.A.
