Abstract: Tungsten fiber-reinforced tungsten (Wf/W) composites are being developed to improve the intrinsic brittleness of tungsten. In these composites, engineered fiber/matrix interfaces are crucial in order to realize toughening mechanisms. For such a purpose, yttria (Y2O3), being one of the suitable interface materials, could be realized through different coating techniques. In this study, the deposition of thin films of yttria on a 150 µm tungsten wire by physical and chemical vapor deposition (PVD and CVD) techniques is comparatively investigated. Although fabrication of yttria is feasible through both CVD and PVD routes, certain coating conditions such as temperature, growth rate, oxidation of Wf, etc., decide the qualitative nature of a coating to a particular extent. In the case of PVD, the oxidation of Wf is highly reduced compared to the WO3 formation in high-temperature CVD coating processes. Yttria-coated tungsten fibers are examined comprehensively to characterize their microstructure, phase, and chemical composition using SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy techniques, respectively
