How To Control Tungsten Powder Particle Size With Impurities
The properties of tungsten powder s may be seriously affected by the third element. In production, these characteristics can be used to add third elements to control the particle size of tungsten powder to produce some special kinds of tungsten oxide. This method is called doping. When doped, the tungsten oxide is added to the aqueous solution of the element compound. The most suitable for doping is not yellow tungsten nor purple tungsten, but blue tungsten. The commonly doped elements are sodium, lithium, chromium, and rare earth elements. 1. Sodium-doped: The addition of sodium compounds is a common method in preparing coarse tungsten powders, the amount of sodium is usually between 50-200 and m/g. At 1000°C under wet hydrogen conditions, tungsten powders with an average particle size of 10-25 um can be obtained according to the thickness of the material layer, high temperature ensures strong volatilization of sodium at the end of the reduction process, it is ...
