Tungsten Carbide Glass Cutter

Tungsten carbide glass cutter refers to the material of cutter bit, which is the key part of the glass cutter. Cutter bit has a relatively large angle but very sharp blade, by a glass across the glass surface, the bottom edge will leave a very sharp groove on the glass. The glass surface is then grooved by pulling action, since the bottom is very sharp, there is a big stress concentration, the brittle glass material is easily split along the groove. There are many types of tungsten carbide glass cutter:
1. By the cutter bit material: natural diamond glass cutter, synthetic diamond glass cutter, carbide glass cutter;
2. By the cutter bit material: Aluminum handle glass cutter, red wooden handle glass cutter, plastic handle glass cutter, bronze handle glass cutter;
3. By the function: Multifunctional glass cutter, electroprobe glass cutter, dual-use positioning glass cutter and connected tape glass cutter;
4. By the shape and using: Straight shank, hand-held, T-typed, rotated type and so on.

When using tungsten carbide glass cutter, you should notice that:
1. Cutting 2-3mm plate glass: Use 2mm × 12mm thin wooden ruler, check the cutting size and consider that the gap of 3mm and 2mm incision. Put the size of one side against the glass, grasp the blade end straightly draws back;
2. Cutting 2-3mm plate glass: Except the method above, there is another method that use 4mm × 50mm ruler, the cutter against the ruler. It should be noticed that b brush kerosene on the incision before cutting;
3. Cutting 4-6mm large plate glass: Before cutting, we should put a wad velvet on the working table to ensure the uniform cutting force;
4. Cutting wired glass: Wired glass has rugged cutting surface, it is easy to slip cutting edge, so the force and speed is important in case of bending;
5. Cutting patterned glass: Embossed surface faces down and the method is the same with the wired glass;
6. Cutting frosted glass: It is the same with the cutting method plate glass.

Tungsten Carbide Test Probe

Due to its excellent performance, tungsten carbide test probe has been widely used in high-precision electronic hardware test and has longer service life than other materials. According to the structure, tungsten carbide test probe can be specifically divided into cantilever probe (blade type, epoxy type) and the vertical probe (ICT series probes, interface probes, micro-series probes, switch probes, coaxial probes, rotator probes, high current probes, semi-conductor probes, battery and connector contacts, wire test probes). Or it can be also divided by electrical test application:
1. Optical circuit board test probe: the test of the circuit board and short circuit before component installation, most of the domestic probe products can replace imported products;
2. Online test probe: Test for PCB circuit board mounted components, the core technology of high-end products is still under controlled by foreign industry, some of probes domestic have been developed successfully;
3. Microelectronic test probe: the test wafer or chip IC detection probe, the core technology is still in control of foreign companies, domestic manufacturers actively involved in research and development, but only a small part of the success of the production.

In order to ensure the measuring accuracy of test probe, we should notice that:
1. Probe length as short as possible: to reduce bending or deflection of the probe on accuracy;
2. Minimum connection point: every time the probe and the extension rod connected together, the equivalent of an additional introduction of a new potential bending and deformation point;
3. Detection ball as large as possible: make the ball / stem clearance maximum, thus reducing the possibility of false triggering due shake, and may weaken the influence of the measured surface unpolished part on the accuracy caused.

Ecological Material - Multi Composite Rare Earth Tungsten Electrode

tungsten electrode

Multi composite rare earth tungsten electrode is an ecological material. It can achieve low emissions, no pollution, which can completely replace the serious environmental pollution thorium tungsten electrode used in welding, plasma welding, and spraying and cutting technical and as key heat source material used in metallurgical industry. Currently, the total annual world consumption of tungsten electrodes can up to thousands of tons and the market demand increasing with economic steady development the amount of consumption continues to rise, where thorium tungsten electrode consumption accounts for more than 70%. Thorium is a natural radioactive element and the half-life period is more than 1.39x 1010 year, so the thorium tungsten electrode is harm to human health and environment. As countries increasing attention to environmental issues, will significantly restrict the production and use of thorium tungsten electrodes.

Multi composite rare earth tungsten electrode has low work function, high melting point, good high temperature mechanical properties and chemical stability and there are abundant raw materials, thus becoming the new alternative material of thorium tungsten electrode. In multi composite electrode, rare earth oxides can refine tungsten grain size to improve the performance of the electrode. After welding testing found it has better arcing performance and anti-burning properties. Besides, the arc static characteristic curve is small than Th-W electrode indicated that it has lower surface electrode work function and electrons are easily escape from the surface, which has better welding performance. Multiple composite rare earth tungsten electrodes at 1300 ℃ the effective work function is 2.76eV and Th-W electrode effective work function is 3.08eV, so composite electrode has low thermal electron emission capability. Electron work function has certain impact on the arc performance. At the beginning of arcing and during arcing, the electrode surface has not been heated to enough temperature, so it can not work as a hot cathode at the first. If the electrode surface has low work function, then the electrode to produce the hot electrons temperature is lower and the electrode is easy to produce thermionic emission. At certain voltage the welding circuit current to generate arc discharge current required time is less, which is arcing easier.

Through the above indicators we will see, multiple composite tungsten electrode is an ecological material. Compared to the thorium tungsten electrode it has good weldability and it can replace Th-W electrode as new welding materials.

Tungsten Copper Gas Vane

As a special wing in rocket jet, tungsten copper gas vane represents the thrust vector controlling technology. And it is indispensable in AAM active duty and in studying. Therefore, it has many strict design requirements as follow:
1. It should have a constant value close enough to lift the gradient to meet the maximum lift control requirements;
2. Differential gas vane should meet the requirements of rolling control;
3. Ensure small resistance to reduce the loss of engine thrust;
4. Rudder hinge moment and change the entire duration of the work to be relatively small in order to reduce the power requirements of the steering gear;
5. Gas vane small as far as possible, but should meet the strength and rigidity requirement. And reasonable location is convenient for attached parts designing and installation;
6. It can not produce mechanical interference when gas vane deflected to the maximum angle.

Based on the ablation mechanism, it can specifically divided into:
1. Effect of particle erosion: A large amount of high energy solid particles in gas stream impact the surface of gas vane intensely, which partial surface reach high temperatures in a short time and accelerate the material ablation. Besides, the surface roughness increases will lead to uneven distribution of the flow field to form a vortex, and lead to the accumulation of localized heat;
2. Mechanical erosion effects: the presence of a thermal expansion coefficient difference between the substrate materials caused by thermal stress generated when it exceeds the combined strength of the gas flow at supersonic peeling effect occurs.

Tungsten Copper Nose Cone

Tungsten copper nose cone at the front of a rocket or missile, when it enters the atmosphere at supersonic speed, will have a strong head detached bow shock. It can protect the payload and endure the large temperature difference and high-speed particle erosion at the same time.From the structure of the rocket, a rocket includes a high thin cylinder, made by sheet metal. The cylinder stores the rocket engine's fuel and refueling tank inside, and rocket propulsion engine is provided at the bottom of the cylinder. In the upper part of the cylinder is fitted with a hollow cone streamlined, connected to the base of the cone cylinder, cone tip upwards. This shape of the cone of the rocket exposed to air cross section of minimum cross-sectional area is reduced to reduce the energy required for rocket discharging air consumption. Generally, the payload of manned spacecraft is placed in the top of the rocket nose cone. It is called as payload fairing cone in space technology, which plays an important role in protecting the payload after rocket ignition and prevent the rocket from destroyed by the enhanced wind of rocket accelerating.

And there are some ablation mechanism of tungsten copper nose cone. The ablation mainly includes thermal chemical ablation and mechanical erosion. Ablative heat characteristic is the use of short, tungsten, copper nose cone is a typical heat sink material, which is adjusted by the material properties of its own, is evaporated and turned away most of the copper in the heat, so it can keep the allowed temperature inside the craft. In addition, the ablation mechanism can be divided into sublimation, melting and charring, which has a cross-phase relationship of the triple point, at high temperature and pressure, carbon homogeneous melting and evaporation occurs interaction phenomenon exceeds the triple point.

Hydrogen Tungsten Trioxide Optical Fiber Sensor

Hydrogen (H2) is considered as a very clean energy, with the very high heat of combustion. However, due to the explosive concentration range of hydrogen is very large for 4% to 75%, requiring very low ignition energy (0.02mg), and spreading very fast; at the same time, the tiny molecular scale also led to its storage and transportation very difficult. Therefore, the development of high sensitive hydrogen optical fiber sensor which can accurately and quickly apply to detect a variety of hydrogen concentration for kinds of environment have become a hot research topic. Currently, the market presence of hydrogen gas sensor is mainly based on precious metals multimode silica fibers, however, these sensors have lower sensitivity, high cost, short life, easy to polluted from environment and other shortcomings.
 
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a transition metal oxide, belonging to the n-type semiconductor, as a semiconductor gas sensor, tungsten trioxide has been considered to be one of the most promising new oxide sensitive materials to detected NOx, SOx, NH3, CO, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, etc.. A lot of researches are based on the tungsten trioxide hydrogen gas sensor films, in which mostly are combined with noble metal palladium, platinum, etc., in 1975, Lund-strom proposed research of hydrogen gas sensor Pd-MOSFET structure which opened up the field of film; in 2012, a scholar has inducted the research about thermal response of palladium-catalyzed tungsten trioxide film for hydrogen.

Important Indicators of Tungsten Trioxide SCR Denitration Catalyst

Currently, the commonly used of denitration catalyst is the tungsten vanadium and titanium system which takes titanium dioxide as carrier, V2O5 as the main active component, WO3 as co-catalyst as a co-catalyst, that is V2O5-WO3/TiO2. Catalyst which fills in the catalytic reactor is the core of the SCR process, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) has the highest activity in all metal oxide catalysts, and also V2O5 will oxidize sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide at the same time. Thus SCR processes often adds tungsten trioxide (WO3) as a co-catalyst, thereby reducing the load of V2O5 (wt%)  to 1.5% or even less, maintaining the reduction of NOx reduction catalytic oxidation of sulfur dioxide on the basal activity. The additive of tungsten trioxide can improve the hydrothermal stability, and resist toxic substances of As ect. in the smoke.

Important indicators of tungsten trioxide SCR denitration catalyst are active temperature, geometrical parameters, etc., as follows:
1. Activation temperature, which is the most important indicator of tungsten trioxide SCR denitration catalyst. Because the reaction temperature not only determines the reaction rate of the reactants, but also decides the reaction activity of the catalyst. Usually the reaction temperature of V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalyst is located between 280~420℃, if the temperature is too low, then the reaction rate is slow, and even generate side reaction which is unfavorable to NOx degradation; however, when the temperature is too high, the catalyst activity occurs microcrystalline high-temperature sintering phenomenon.
2. The geometric parameters: pitch/spacing, specific surface area, porosity and specific pore volume, mean pore size and pore size distribution.
1) Pitch/pitch SCR denitration catalyst is another important indicator, denoted P, P=d+t, where d represents the width between the two plates, t is the thickness of the plate and its size affects catalytic reaction’s pressure drop and residence time, pore clogging or not;
2) The specific surface area is the total exposed surface area per unit mass of the catalyst, which directly affects active catalyst of surface, and the porous particles can greatly increase  the surface area of catalyst;
3) Porosity is the ratio of pore volume and the whole grain volume of the catalyst, which is the most direct quantitative indicator of catalyst structure, and determining the specific surface area and pore size;
4) The distribution of pores in the catalyst is very important, when most of them are closed to the average pore diameter, then the catalyst has the optimum activity.
