How Rare Earth Elements Affect Tungsten Oxide Hydrogen Reduction
In the process of hydrogen reduction of tungsten oxide , the effect of the reduction is not only the metal elements, there are some trace elements, such as rare earth elements. The effects of trace elements are related not only to quantity, but also to the shape and location of individual elements and the entry stage, for example, the elements that form fine grain particles at grain boundaries are different from the same elements in solid solutions. They are soluble in the bonding phase and different from the tungsten carbide grains. Some scholars believe that the addition of lanthanum or yttrium (La) (Y) in hydrogen reduction of tungsten oxide, can play a similar role to that of Al. In the process of research, scholars used the doping method of wet mixing and flow drying to prepare the blue tungsten powder, and push the boat by reverse hydrogen, the decomposition process is performed in two stages, namely at 500 °C, 850 °C, 900 °C, 950 °C, 1000 °C temperature point fi...
