Operating Procedure of Tungsten Heater for Aluminum Plating Machine - Power Control

Tungsten heater is used as a heating element in aluminum plating machine for aluminum film. Aluminum machine operation begins with the power supply.

Firstly, open power supply, turn on each cycle valve, cooling vacuum system, and open the maintain pump to pre-vacuum pumping for diffusion pump for 30 minutes, heated diffusion pump about 1 hour and vacuum aluminizing.

Cleaning up the operation vehicle, and then placing tungsten heater, molybdenum wire magnesium fluoride, two tin board, and put aluminum workpieces. Put the operation vehicle into the room, close the door, and open mechanical pump. 5-7 seconds later, open the pre-pumping valve F2, open composite vacuum gauges, there are two screens of high and low vacuum, on the vacuum gauge. When the low vacuum gauge displays 4.0E-0, close pre-pumping valve F2, pre-opening valve F3, and open the high vacuum valve F1. When the high vacuum valve shows 4.0E-2, open the work vehicle, and adjust the voltage in the 50V-70V. After the rotation is normal, open FK3 valve flow indicator, turn off a high vacuum flapper valve, and control high vacuum table. When it shows 4.0E-0, open bombardment power and adjust voltage between 800V-1200V to clean ion for 5 minutes. Turn off the bombardment power and rotated power, FK3 valve. Close flow indicator, open high vacuum baffle valve for creation of vacuum. After high vacuum table shows 2.0E-2, it is time to vacuum aluminizing.

If the time for vacuum aluminizing stay for too long, it would cause that the tungsten wire would direct baked aluminum layer of tungsten surface, and then it would be oxidation and become yellow. The quality of aluminum film also influenced by the quality of vacuum, the stable process parameters, subsidiary materials for aluminizing, the storage time of aluminizing workpiece. If the cleaning of coated article is not complete, its surface would have residual cleaning agents and water.

Tungsten Alloy Radiation Protection Window

Tungsten Alloy Radiation Protection WindowWith the development of science and technology, radiation technology has been widely used in biological research, medicine, industry and agriculture. In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium. It can be divided into ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation depending on its energy level and its ability to ionize substances. The word “radiation” generally refers to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation are mainly α, β and γ radiation three kinds. Beta-ray is a stream of electrons which moves at high-speed and has strong penetrating power; alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium nucleus; γ-ray, also known as the stream of γ particles, is released by nuclear energy level transition, and its wavelength is shorter than 0.01 Å. γ-ray can be used in the industry for industrial flaw detection or automatic control of the pipeline.

Although radiation brings a lot of convenience to people's lives, but its hazards also need to be valued. Such as γ-ray has a strong penetration power. When the body is exposed to γ ​​rays, γ-rays can enter into the interior of the human body and interact with the cells in vivo, to corrode the complex organic molecules (such as proteins, nucleic acids and enzymes), and thus interfere with the normal chemical processes in the human body, and even cause cell death. In addition, ionizing radiation can alter the chemical balance of the cell (sometimes cause cancer) and damage the genetic material in the cells in the body, leading to fetal malformation and congenital leukemia. So the installation of tungsten alloy radiation protection window in radioactive laboratories and other places which can release radiation is necessary.

Tungsten alloy radiation protection window is made up of tungsten heavy alloy with high-density. According to the research, the radiation shielding properties of a metal material increases with its density. Compared with other traditional materials (such as lead), tungsten alloy has higher density, thus it has greater radiation shielding performance to avoid radiation damage.

 

LED Tungsten Copper Heat Base and Other Materials Comparison

Most of LED products, usually you need more than one LED assembled on a circuit board. The circuit board not only needs to carry LED module structure, but also plays an important role in heat dissipation. LED heat dissipation board consists of two major components, one is the system board, and the other is LED grain substrate. Most of the system board is made of metal, which takes advantages of excellent heat dissipation characteristics of its own to achieve the effect. However, with the increasing brightness and efficacy requirements of LED, the bottleneck will appear on the LED grain substrate. In order to break the bottleneck of heat dissipation, researchers around the world look for and develop the substrate materials with high thermal coefficient. Currently, several common LED heat dissipation substrates comprises rigid printed circuit boards, high thermal conductivity aluminum plate, a ceramic substrate, soft printed circuit boards, metal composite materials.

Tungsten copper board for heat dissipation is currently recognized as the most performance fit a class of materials. It has many advantages, such as high strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high heat transfer coefficient and so on. By adjusting the component can make up a single hot metal chips and LED mismatch insufficient, so it has been widely used in some large scale integrated circuits, high-power devices, as the radiating element. In addition, electrolytic polishing tungsten copper foil surface finishing can effectively improve the heat dissipation of tungsten copper LED substrate surface flatness to meet the stringent requirements for heat dissipation board of flatness. Thick film ceramic substrate fabricated by screen printing technology and with a spatula printed material on the substrate, after drying, sintering, laser and other processes. But with the decreasing size and lines of LED, higher requirements for precision, the accuracy of such board has been unable to reach. Low-temperature co-sintered multi-layer ceramic substrate printed on the board by screen printing and then integrating the multilayer ceramic substrate, and finally through the low-temperature sintering. But it is supposed to consider the shrinkage ratio after multi-layer ceramic sintering, which is difficult to be controlled.

High Density Composite Material Containing Tungsten Powder

The invention is a cohesive and malleable combination of two primary components, with or without additional binders and/or additives. The primary components of the claimed invention are tungsten powder, or other powdered metal or alloy of similar density, and clay. Depending upon the clay selected, tungsten powder particle size, whether and what binders and additives are included, and the relative amounts of each component in the finished composite, the resulting composite may range in ductility from that of lead/antimony alloy to that of soft modeling clay. Silicone may be used in place of some or all of the clay.
 
In the invention, densities of the resulting composite may be varied to match the requirements of the intended use. By way of non-limiting example, for ammunition applications, densities have been achieved in the range of 9.3 g/cc to 13.6 g/cc, with densities in the range of approximately 10.2 g/cc to 11.4 g/cc being preferred for small arms ammunition, and within that range densities of approximately 10.27 g/cc, 10.98 g/cc, and 11.37 g/cc being most preferred.
 
Examples of the invention which can be used for ammunition application have proven that in densities 11 g/cc and lower, a mixture of a high-density material (reprocessed recycled tungsten being the current preferred choice) and a lower density, less expensive material (such as steel, copper, or bismuth), along with the clay and binder have yielded good results. This allows the clay content and binder to be varied to optimize stiffness and forming properties, and the mix of metals adjusted independently to vary density. While the clay is required to yield forming properties, beyond a few percent of this very low density additive requires use of tungsten only to attain densities over 8.5 g/cc or so.
 
tungsten powder
 
In the invention, the size of tungsten powder particles are not limiting. For example, very fine particles, such as of approximately 2 microns or less, and very coarse particles, such as approximately ⅓ the diameter of the intended finished product, may be used. Particles of varying sizes or particles of uniform size also may be used, although a range of particle sizes is preferred for optimal compaction. While particle size within a very wide range is acceptable in the invention, the intended use of the invented composite may limit desired particle size. For example, if the end product to be made with the invented composite is a round of ammunition with a pointed tip at one end, it may be desirable to chose a particle size smaller than the intended tip such that the particle size does not inhibit forming of the invented composite into the desired shape. The preferred tungsten powder particle size is generally more than 40 microns and generally less than 500 microns, although this preference is in no way limiting and is primarily based on material availability rather than performance.
 
In the invention, it is not necessary to use pure tungsten. Pure, recycled and/or tungsten alloys may be used. Use of heavy compounds of tungsten or mixtures of material found in tungsten process scrap may be cost effective. However, if the intended use of the invented composite is as lead-replacement due to environmental concerns, care should be taken to avoid tungsten combined with other metals or additives which could themselves create an environmental hazard. For example, cobalt is a common additive in tungsten which can cause environmental contamination.
 
In the invention, the clay used should be highly plasticized. Clays which may be used in the invention include at least ball clay, slip clay, kaolins, and bentonite. Other clays with similar ductility may also be used in the invention. Clays of the bentonite montmorillonite class may be used in the invention without resin or other binder. While many clays will be effective in the invention, ball clays are preferred for their density and ductility. 
 
In an embodiment of the invention, the following components are mixed by hand or other known mixing technique:  tungsten powder of mixed particles size in the general range of 40 microns to 500 microns; ball clay; vinyl acetate water emulsion resin; and water.
 
The mixture is then rolled or otherwise mixed until homogenous. Different sized roll mixers may be used for this process, or other known methods of mixing high-density materials such as pressure extrusion. Compaction/densification of the composite can be achieved as desired by pressure mixing, such as with roll mixers. The preferred method of mixing and densification is set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,097,929 entitled “The roll compaction process for manufacture of substrates.” Sintering is not necessary but could be utilized for mixing and/or densification.
 
After mixing and densification to achieve the desired density, the composite is dried by known means, such as in a forced air oven at 150° C., to evaporate excess water. Since the ductility of the clay is water-sensitive, final moisture content may be critical in some mixes and may be varied depending upon the intended use. For example, one may desire somewhat more water in composite intended for extrusion molding, such as when the composite is intended for ammunition, than in composite intended for use without further molding, such as when the composite is intended for use as fishing weight. The dried composite may be molded by means appropriate to its ductility. For example, by varying the amount of clay and binder relative to the tungsten powder and the amount of drying, one can achieve a composite that is as soft as to be moldable by hand. Similarly, a composite may be achieved which is only moldable with high pressure or heat. In an embodiment of the invention, the dried composite may be molded into a reformable slug of constant diameter of about 0.18 inches and length of about 0.5 inches. This slug could then be fed into a pre-formed copper can or casing and subsequently re-drawn as a unit into a bullet or other shape.
 
In an embodiment of the invention, the composite is granulated. Granulated particle sizes may vary, with particles in the range of 30 to 60 mesh being considered particularly useful for further reforming. In achieving granulation of 30 to 60 mesh, optimum thickness for the rolled, dried pre-granulated sheets of composite is in the range of 0.030-0.040 inches. The mixed or uniform size ganular composite may be formed into its final desired shape through known means, such as compaction.
 
In an embodiment of the invention, surfactant may be added to the emulsion binder/resin, such as with a surfactant protected vinyl acetate emulsion. Other binders/resins may also be used, such a polyvinyl alcohol protected emulsions, in other embodiments of the invention. In an embodiment of the invention, no binder/resin is used.
 
In another embodiment of the invention, one or more lower density metals, such as tin, steel, or bismuth, are mixed with the tungsten powder, clay and resin before further processing. Nanosteel, or so called glass-steel, also may be utilized in the invention.
 
In an embodiment of the invention, tungsten is combined with a two-part silicone system using known roll compaction techniques to form sheets with densities in the range of 8 g/cc, with an operating temperature range of up to 250 deg C. The resulting composite may be used for radiation shielding. By varying the amount of tungsten used, non-destructive elastic elongation may be achieved of 100% plus. The amount of elongation desired and the amount of tungsten to be used will vary depending upon the desired level of radiation shielding to be provided and desired elasticity of the finished product. The silicon used may be Silbione LSR 4305, which includes parts V50093A-40 and V50093B-40.
 
It is anticipated that encapsulated lead and/or lead silicate, bismuth, copper, steel, and/or iron may be used in the invention in place of all or some of the tungsten. Other powdered metals or alloys with densities similar to lead and/or tungsten may be utilized in the invention in place of all or some of the tungsten powder.
 
In an embodiment of the invention, the finished composite consists of approximately 50 parts tungsten powder, approximately 2-3 parts ball clay, and approximately 2-4 parts polyvinyl alcohol protected emulsion resin/binder. In such embodiment, a dibenzyl phthalate plasticizer, such as Monsanto-s-160 also is used. Other plasticizers, , ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and water, can also be used in this and other embodiments of the invention. Use of a resin/binder avoids the necessity of adding an additional plasticizer.
 
The finished composite may be used in an infinite number of ways, by itself or in combination with other materials. By way of non-limiting example, in an embodiment of the invention, such as where the composite is intended for use in the application of radiation shielding, the finished composite may be covered with plastic, rubber, fabric, metal or other material. By way of further non-limiting example, in an alternative embodiment, such as where the composite is intended for use in the application of ammunition, the finished composite may be placed within a housing, such as a copper jacket, which may be used to affect the performance of the ammunition.
 
While the compositions of this invention have been described by example and preferred embodiments, it will be apparent to those of skill in the art that variations may be applied to the composition, methods and in the steps or the sequence of steps of the method described herein without departing from the concept and claimed scope of the invention. Further, it will apparent that certain agents which are chemically and physiologically related may be substituted for the agents described herein while the same or similar results would be achieved. All such similar substitutes and modifications apparent to those of skill in the art are intended to be within the concept and claimed scope of the invention.

LED Tungsten Copper Heat Base

With the world's attention of environmental awareness, energy saving has been an irresistible trend of the moment. The LED industry is one of the fastest growing industries; LED products not only have a great advantage in terms of energy saving, but also have high efficiency, fast response time, long life cycle and do not contain toxic substances, which is outstanding in similar products. In general, the input power of LED high power products has about 15% of electrical energy into light energy, and another 85% of the electrical energy is dissipated into heat. So if the LED light emitting heat generated not been able to export, it will make the temperature of the LED screen is too high, thus affecting its luminous efficiency, stability and product life cycle. In order to improve the luminous efficiency, thermal dispersion management and design LED system become an important research topic.

The ways of heat dissipation mainly includes: air heat dissipation, heat the substrate to export, export gold wire cooling, through-hole heat dissipation and so on. Here we introduce the substrate cooling. In LED products typically requires multiple LED assembled on a circuit board. In addition to the circuit board is responsible for carrying LED module structure, on the other hand it also needs to play the role in heat dissipation. LED heat dissipation substrate mainly takes advantages of the excellent heat conductivity of its thermal substrate material to derived from the LED grain. Thus according to the ways of LED heat dissipation, can be divided into two types, LED grain board and the system circuit board. These two are multiplied by different heat dissipation board carrying the LED chip LED grain and the LED grain emits light generated by the circuit board to the system, and then absorbed by the atmosphere via the heat dissipating board LED die, to achieve the dissipation of the heat effect. Tungsten copper material has high strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent plasticity and thermal and electrical conductivity, which is the perfect choice for LED board. Compared with single metal, such as Al substance, it can avoid the thermal mismatch and have better stability and heat dissipation.
