Popis: In this work, copper–tungsten (Cu-W) composites with a cubic and rhombic dodecahedron W-skeleton were fabricated by the infiltration of Cu melt into a three-dimensionally printed W scaffold. The effects of the skeleton structure on the mechanical properties and energy-absorbing characteristics of the Cu-W interpenetrating-phase composite were investigated and compared with those of commercial Cu-W composite fabricated by powder metallurgy. The results indicated that the mechanical properties of the studied Cu-W interpenetrating-phase composites were mainly related to the properties of their ordered skeletons. Compared to the dodecahedron W-skeleton Cu-W composites, cubic-W-skeleton Cu-W composites exhibited higher strengths but lower absorbed energy. The Cu-W composites with ordered W-skeletons displayed much higher energy absorption than the commercial Cu-W ones. By adjusting the ordered W-skeleton structure contained in the composite, the strength and deformation behavior of the Cu-W composite can be effectively improved, which provides a guide to optimizing the mechanical properties and energy absorption of Cu-W composites.
