    Abstract: This invention relates to a preparation method of rare earth oxide dispersion strengthened fee grain tungsten materials, the mass percent of the rare earth oxide is of 0.1-2%, and the rest ingredient is W. Weigh soluble rare earth salt and tungstate, dissolve into water to made into 50-100 g/L of rare earth salt solution and 150-300 g/L of tungstate solution, respectively. Firstly, add trace alkali in rare earth salt solution to control pH in 7-8, then add organic dispersant and stir to form evenly suspended R(OH)3 particle colloid (R refers to rare earth element). Secondly pour the tungstate solution into the R(OH)3colloid, add trace acid to control pH in 6-7, then add organic dispersant and stir to form tungstic acid micro particles, which wrap around the colloidal particles, forming coprecipitation coating particle colloid. Thirdly, the coprecipitation coating particle colloidal is spray-dried, forming tungsten and rare earth oxide compound precursor powder. Alter that, ultrafine or nanoscale tungsten powder with particle size of 50˜500 nm is obtained through a process of calcination subsequent with hydrogen thermal reduction. Finally, the tungsten powder is subjected to ordinary compression molding and then conventional high temperature sintering. The trace rare earth oxide dispersion strengthened high performance fine grain tungsten materials prepared by this invention, its density is close to full density (98.5% or higher), its grain size is uniform and very fine (average in 5˜10 microns), and the rare earth oxides particles evenly distribute in tungsten intracrystalline or grain, boundary with particle size of 100˜500 nm.
