Abstract
The electron micro diffraction technique and pseudopotential ab initio calculations were implemented to study in details the formation and mechanism of growth of the tungsten whiskers during the reduction of nickel tungstate by CO gas. It has been shown that the W whiskers prefer to grow as crystals oriented in the <111> direction, and this process may be considered as the epitaxial growth on the hexagonal planes of Ni4W particles.
