Preparation of Medium-Sized Tungsten Particles via the New Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Medium-sized tungsten particles are obtained through circulatory oxidation-reduction twice. The samples are characterized by laser particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Blue tungsten oxide (BTO) is prepared with ammonium paratungstate (APT) in the argon gas. Tungsten powders are obtained with BTO through deoxidation in the hydrogen gas (Rate of purity: 99.99%, dew point: -40°C), and tungsten powders are oxidized in the air. Tungsten oxide WO3) is reduced into tungsten powders in hydrogen gas again. The routes are repeated. The volume percent content of medium-sized tungsten powders between 3 μm and 10 μm is 83.86 %.
