The ultrafine-grained tungsten was fabricated by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 800°C and 950°C, respectively, and was characterized by electron microscopy and Vickers microhardness measurement. The average grain size of W decreases with the increasing number of ECAP extrusion passes and can be refined from the initial value of about 6μm to 0.9μm after two ECAP extrusion passes at 800°C, while it is refined to 1.5μm after three ECAP extrusion passes at 950°C. Small angle tilt grain boundaries consisting of edge dislocations are formed in the 950°C extrusion. Intergranular fracture mode dominates the fracture failure of the W after 800°C extrusion while transgranular facture mode together with intergranular fracture mode play an important role in the fracture failure of the W after 950°C extrusion. The Vickers microhardness increases from about 510HV for the as-received W to about 560HV for the W extruded at both 800°C and 950°C. However, the thermal conductivity was affected only a little by the ECAP processing.
