Tungsten Powder
In the form of powdered tungsten metal is the raw material for the preparation of tungsten processing materials, tungsten alloys and tungsten products.
Appearance: Powder
Grain size: 0.4~30 microns
Packing: 50 or 100 kg net weight per piece, packed in double plastic bags and placed in iron drums.
Note: Any specific requirements for the product can be negotiated.
A metallic-looking gray-black metal that is glossy (body-centred cubic crystals). melting point: 3400 °C. The boiling point is 555 °C. The range is 200–250 for sintered tungsten bars and 350–400 for hammered tungsten rods. Melting is achieved by mixing sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Only marginally soluble in nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and aqua regia; insoluble in water, hydrofluoric acid, and potassium hydroxide. There are two types of tungsten: A and B. Type A is an atmospheric pressure and room temperature stable body-centered cubic shape. Type B tungsten only happens when oxygen is present. It is stable below 630 °C but irrevocably changes back into tungsten over 630 °C.
Method of preparation
Made from hydrogen and tungsten trioxide or ammonium paratungstate. In the first stage of the hydrogen reduction process, tungsten trioxide is reduced to tungsten dioxide at a temperature of 500 to 700 °C.The reduction reaction is often carried out in an electric tube furnace or a rotating furnace.Performance characteristics of the reduced tungsten powder, such as purity, particle size, composition, etc., are mostly a result of the reduction process. The reduction temperature, the amount of tungsten oxide placed in the burner, the rate of burner movement, the flow rate of hydrogen, and the moisture content of the hydrogen are the main process variables that affect the reduction rate when it is reduced in a tube furnace. The particle size gets coarser as the temperature of reduction rises.
It can also be created using the early tungsten oxide carbon reduction process, where the reduction temperature is higher than 1050°C, in addition to the hydrogen reduction method. By using this procedure, less purity is produced. Additionally, metallic calcium, zinc, and aluminum are being used in an effort to minimize tungsten oxide. For certain applications requiring high purity, ultra-fine particle size tungsten powder, the hydrogen reduction of tungsten chloride, resulting in a particle size of less than 0.05 m, has been developed.
The process of hydrogen reduction, ammonium paratungstate treatment with acid, followed by heated decomposition and hydrogen reduction to produce tungsten trioxide is used in commercial manufacturing.
1. Hydrogen reduction of tungsten trioxide can be accomplished in two stages, the first of which involves heating the material to 550–800 °C and hydrogen reduction, and the second of which involves heating it to 650–850 °C and creating the ultimate product, tungsten powder.
2. Ammonium paratungstate can also be further reduced with hydrogen to get blue tungsten oxide (blue tungsten) by first passing hydrogen through it or not. The particle size and composition are crucial quality indicators. The reduction is carried out in either a tubular electric furnace or a rotating electric furnace.
