Ultrafine Tungsten Powder Preparation -- Plasma Method
Plasma is considered to be the fourth basic form of solid, liquid, gas and other substances. It is a collection of charged particles and neutral particles that are freely moving and interact with each other. Macroscopically, it is electrically neutral. When there is enough energy added to the gas, the gas molecules and high-energy electrons will occur between the collision or absorption of electromagnetic control and ionization process occurred, and then the formation of plasma state. The basic principle of plasma preparation of ultrafine tungsten powder is in an inert atmosphere or reactive atmosphere, the DC discharge (or otherwise) to produce high temperature gas ionization plasma, so that the molten metal evaporation, metal vapor, quenching or chemical reaction to form ultrafine particles. At present, the main methods to obtain plasma are thermal ionization method, shock wave method, photoionization method, ray radiation method, and DC, low-frequency, radio fr...
