The Metal Zirconium Tungstate Composite Material
Thermal expansion and contraction are common physical phenomena. However, there are some materials which do not act according to common sense and show the opposite phenomenon of thermal expansion and cold expansion, such materials are known as negative thermal expansion materials, and zirconium tungstate is one of the negative thermal expansion materials. The results show that the zirconium tungstate ZrW 2 O 8 has a stable negative thermal expansion performance in the range of 0.3 to 1050.0K in the temperature range, negative thermal expansion coefficient alpha can reach -9 * 10 -6 K -1 , and is isotropic. Therefore, zirconium tungstate can be used alone as a heat shrinkable material, and can also be mixed with other materials to form composite material. Zirconium tungstate metal substrate is using a powder metallurgy method principle, adding zirconium tungstate composite material in the metal. Because of its excellent conductivity and thermal conductivity, the compo...
