The tungstenecopper alloys were prepared and characterized utilizing pressureless microwave sintering
and hot pressure microwave sintering. The performance of tungstenecopper alloy was assessed based on
the relative density and hardness. The influence of different pressure and copper content on the
microstructure of tungsten copper alloy has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Experimental results indicate tungstenecopper alloy with excellent performance
under microwave hot press sintering. The relative density of the alloy was estimated to be
98.14% at a sintering temperature of 1100 C, applied pressure of 30 MPa for duration of 1 h. The relative
density was found to increase with increase in the applied pressure. The microstructure of tungsten
ecopper alloy sintered by microwave hot press method was more uniform having a compact matrix.
