Production principles, uses and classification of ferrotungsten powder

ZhenAn Ferrotungsten Block

 

Production principle of ferrotungsten powder: It is produced by hydrogenation of tungsten trioxide or ammonium paratungstate. The process of preparing tungsten powder by hydrogen reduction method is generally divided into two stages: the first stage is to reduce tungsten trioxide to tungsten dioxide at 500 ~ 700; in the second stage, tungsten dioxide is reduced back to tungsten at 700 ~ 900 iron powder. The regeneration reaction is usually carried out in a tubular electric furnace or a rotary kiln. The properties of regenerated ferrotungsten powder mainly depend on the reduction process. When regenerating in a tube furnace, the main process parameters that affect the regeneration speed are the regeneration temperature, the load of tungsten oxide in the boat, and the moving speed of the boat. , hydrogen flow rate and water content in hydrogen. As the return temperature increases, the particle size of tungsten powder becomes coarser. In addition to the hydrogen reduction method, the tungsten oxide carbon reduction method is used to prepare tungsten powder, and the recovery temperature is higher than 1050°C. The tungsten powder obtained by this method has low purity. In addition, research on the process of returning calcium, aluminum, and zinc to original tungsten oxide is also in progress. A tungsten chloride hydrogenation method has been developed to produce high-purity ultra-fine tungsten powder for special application requirements. The particle size of the obtained ferrotungsten powder can be less than 0.05 m.

In addition to certain requirements for impurity content, the oxygen content of ferrotungsten powder must also be controlled within a certain range. The particle size of commonly used ferrotungsten powder is generally 2 ~ 10 microns. Tungsten powder is in the shape of polygonal particles. In addition, the specific surface area, bulk density and tap density of ferrotungsten powder also vary within a certain range. The properties of ferrotungsten powder directly affect the production of tungsten materials and the quality of tungsten powder metallurgical products, especially the purity and particle size.

Ferrotungsten powder uses: Pure tungsten powder can be made into wires, rods, pipes, plates and other processing materials and products of certain shapes. Ferrotungsten powder is the main raw material for processing powder metallurgy tungsten products and tungsten alloys. An important use of ferrotungsten powder is to make tungsten carbide powder, and then make carbide tools, such as milling cutters, turning tools, drill bits and molds. Ferrotungsten powder can be mixed with other metal powders to make various tungsten alloys, such as tungsten-rhenium Alloys, tungsten-molybdenum alloys, tungsten-copper alloys and high-density tungsten alloys.
