Equation of Sintering Densification

densification degree in various stages of sintering image
The sintering of tungsten carbide belongs to multicomponent liquid phase sintering. Its process can be roughly divided into 3 stages based on sintering mechanism: stage of liquid phase flow and particle rearrangement, stage of solid phase dissolution and reprecipitation and stage of solid phase sintering. Most of the densification is completed in the first two stages. Especially in the stage of particle rearrangement, the maximum amount of sintering shrinkage is completed.

Effect of External Force on Sintering Shrinkage

effect of external force on pore contraction image
Many factors will affect the final densification effect, such as liquid solid wetting angle, liquid phase number, carbon content, heating rate and external force during sintering. For sintering of tungsten carbide, the most intense phase of the shrinkage process is the phase of liquid phase sintering. External force has a significant effect on the process of liquid-phase contraction, which is mainly reflected in the two aspects of promoting material migration and reducing porosity.

Characteristics of Liquid Phase Sintering

WC-Co tungsten carbide image
WC-Co tungsten carbide is the most common and widely used type of tungsten carbide. The sintering of WC-Co cemented carbide is liquid phase sintering because the composition of Co and WC satisfies the conditions of liquid phase sintering. WC-Co tungsten carbide has the inherent characteristics and requirements of liquid phase sintering, such as wettability, solubility and quantity of liquid phase.

Tungsten Diselenide Preparation

tungsten diselenide structure image

Tungsten diselenide (WSe2) is a kind of semiconductor material with a graphite-like layered structure. It is composed of closely packed Se-W-Se hexagonal crystals, and is based on van der Waals force to form a single layer of two-dimensional material. The WSe2 film has a forbidden band width of 1-2eV and a high visible light absorption efficiency. It can be used as an absorbing layer and photoelectrochemical electrode material for solar cells.

Tungsten, as a high temperature resistant metal material, is used as the filament or electrode of the energy saving lamp and as a variety of electronic emitter. But the tungsten itself has the problem of brittle and low plasticity, which greatly reduces the life of its use. In order to reduce the brittleness of tungsten and to improve its plasticity, the traditional method is to increase its properties by adding rare earth metals in tungsten to form tungsten based alloys.
