As an important intermediate product of transition metal tungsten, tungsten powder (W) is often used to produce tungsten products such as tungsten oxide, tungstate, tungsten carbide, tungsten rod, and tungsten bar due to its strong reducibility. However, due to the different particle shapes of W powder, the physical and chemical properties and specific uses of tungsten products are also different. According to different particle shapes, W powder can be divided into spherical tungsten powder and irregular tungsten powder. The following…

As an important raw material for tungsten production, the physical and chemical properties of spherical tungsten powder (W) directly affect the quality and use of tungsten products. Under normal circumstances, the higher the purity of the powder, the lower the oxygen and carbon content, the better the thermodynamic properties of tungsten processing materials. However, the physical and chemical properties of the powder are not the only factor that determines the quality of tungsten products. The performance of tungsten parts is…

Compared with the powder metallurgy method, the tungsten parts produced by 3D printing technology not only have richer shapes, but also have higher comprehensive properties such as shielding performance and high temperature resistance, which also makes them more useful. The main uses of 3D printing tungsten are as follows: 1) Manufacturing medical collimators. Compared with metallic lead, tungsten alloy is more suitable for the production of collimators, not only because the alloy is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, but also has…

3D printing technology (additive manufacturing) can not only print organic materials such as nylon, plastic, resin, but also stainless steel, aluminum alloy powder, titanium alloy powder, and tungsten alloy powder. As far as tungsten powder is concerned, although additive manufacturing can effectively make up for the shortcomings of powder metallurgy technology, such as the inability to manufacture complex-shaped parts and general product performance, it does not mean that the products manufactured by this method are flawless. Applications in some areas…

Nano transition metal oxide anode has good lithium storage performance, such as CuO, Fe2O3, Co3O4, WO3, etc., can store lithium through conversion reaction, and its capacity is much higher than that of commercial graphite anode. Among them, WO3 is the most stable oxide of tungsten at room temperature, with low environmental pollution, reasonable price, and high theoretical specific capacity (693mAh/g). It is a anode material with development potential. However, bulk WO3 has low conductivity and large volume changes during charging…

The reason why semiconductor sensor uses low-dimensional nano tungsten oxide particles as sensitive materials is that the particles have high purity, large specific surface area, small particle size, uniform distribution, clean surface, low bulk density, easy dispersion, and excellent gas sensitivity, etc. More generally speaking, compared to traditional gas-sensitive materials, gas-sensitive materials made of nano-WO3 particles have faster response speed, better selection performance, and are more ecologically friendly, so they are suitable for detecting alcohol and gases such as nitrogen…

Common production methods of ammonium paratungstate (APT) include evaporation, neutralization, crystallization, freeze-drying and solvent extraction. Among them, the solvent extraction method is a new method that has just been designed in recent years. 1.Evaporation Method According to the different uses of APT, the evaporation process is also different. For example, the APT used in the production of tungsten wire usually adopts a jacketed steam-heated evaporator, and the steam pressure is generally controlled at (0.5～2.0)×105Pa. There is also a jacket-heated agitation…

The reason why new architectural coatings are produced with an appropriate amount of cesium tungsten bronze nanoparticles as an important modifier is that the particles can not only effectively improve the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of the product, but also enhance the heat preservation and heat insulation effect of the coating. Cesium tungsten bronze, also known as cesium tungsten oxide, is a compound of transition metal tungsten, molecular formula Cs0.33WO3, molecular structure of oxygen octahedron structure, purity higher…
