Nanocomposite W-4.5% ThO2 Electrode Materials

Process Points

Highly doped nano-composite W-ThO2 electrode materials Preparation is the key process mixed doped W powder. Added amount of ThO2, size, and other factors added directly affect the W powder, the dopant concentration and ultimately the final properties of the finished material.

Production of high-doped nano-composite W-ThO2 electrode wire craftsmanship and production of nano composite W-2% ThO2 electrode wire process is slightly different.

Doped nano-composite W-ThO2 electrode materials technology points are:

(1) Mixing powder is the key that can make high-doped oxide powder dispersed in the W are the factors that determine everything, so Mixture Process to be carefully controlled, the use of composite powder mixing process is more reasonable, such as the use of ultrasonic + high-energy ball milling method is more reasonable.

(2) Two kinds of fine powder in the production of blanks will appear low bulk density, easy to stick molds, compacted density, strength and low defects, resulting in process yield is very low. Therefore, the compression pressure is higher than the traditional process of molding pressure, dwell time longer than the traditional process.

(3) Pre-sintering, vertical melt, swaging and other processes to be slightly higher than the processing temperature of nano-composite W-2% ThO2 electrode.

ThO2 Content Determination: The nano-composite W-ThO2 electrode material terms. W is the base material, ThO2 as dopant.

Mixture Process

Particles in the matrix affect the uniformity of the distribution of particle reinforced / modified mechanical properties of composites and other features important factor is particularly important for nanocomposites. Particle distribution uniformity of the particles and the matrix itself including wetting properties, density, particle size, particle surface characteristics, material preparation method, particles in the matrix in an amount such factors are closely related, prepared by powder metallurgy particle reinforced / modified composite material , the particle distribution depends largely on the mixed powder method and process parameters. In this paper, an ultrasonic oscillation method + ball milling powder mixing method. First ultrasonic dispersion, drying the wet state, and then the ball mill mixing powder after drying, grinding.

Nano-Composite W-2% ThO2 Electrode Material Preparation Process of Swaging

Prepared by swaging nanocomposite W-2% ThO2 electrode material of this test tungsten alloy plant in Taebaek, the specific process is as follows:

(1) Mixing: The After dispersing, mixing a good first composite powder sieved through a 100 mesh sieve manually three times and allowed to stand 30min. In sifted before adding binder, adhesive formulations as follows: ethanol + glycerol (volume ratio of 1: (1.5-2)). The proportion of binder added: Every 1000g sifted powder was added 3mL binder.

(2) Compression: W powder particle size of 0.6μm, very fine-grained, leading to increased friction, resulting in the actual sample pressure is still small. After the suppression of the larger specimens resilience, resulting in greater stress. Also causing uneven density inside the sample, the surface density, the center is less dense, prone to early stratification and micro-cracks, sintering is easy to burst. If the binder added more, since the surface density, gas difficult to discharge, it could easily lead to burst. If the mixed powder is uneven, the compacts are likely to cause an early break. Considering these factors, the pressing process point is: bonding agent added in moderation; powder mixed carefully controlled process to ensure uniform mixing powder; increase the pressure; increased dwell time. Specific process parameters: each billet quality powder 580g (normal 640g), pressure 70T (50T normal production pressure), a pressure of about 60MPa, dwell time 5min.

(3) Pre-Sintering: In the protection of hydrogen, at a temperature of 1150-1200 ℃ sintering 1h, aims to improve the density and strength of the green body in order to facilitate the subsequent sintering electrically heated melt down. Pre-sintered body size is about 400mm x 12mm X 12mm.

(4) Vertical melt sintering: current heating current is 90% of the fusing current, the temperature does not exceed 3000 ℃, time of l0min.

(5) The Swaging: the vertical melt sintered billet at a temperature of 1350-1450 ℃ swaging.

(6) Drawing: caustic deburring and oil after drawing wire.

(7) Straightening Polished.

Safety Issues with Tungsten Wedding Rings

Emergency Situations
The tungsten carbide ring cannot be removed in an emergency situation with traditional ring cutters. It can be removed by emergency personnel by using a tool more similar to a vice grip. In emergency situations when the ring must be removed for the purposes of treatment or stopping further injury from occurring, it must be cracked off the wearer’s finger. This would destroy the ring by breaking the ring into pieces and may cause injury to the wearer. The tungsten carbide ring registers between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. Because of these factors, it also cannot be resized in a traditional manner.
 
Skin Reactions
Tungsten carbide rings can cause an allergic reaction on the skin. These rings are made by combining the tungsten with another metal. Most often, the other metal is a nickel or cobalt blend. This hardens the ring and prevents many of the scratches that are common on softer metals. This is important because the cobalt blend can cause allergic reactions when worn for long periods of time. The skin cells and sweat can cause oxidation, and skin and ring discoloration. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll want to make sure that you check the metal blend. Cobalt is a little less expensive, but nickel is entirely hypoallergenic and does not suffer from oxidation.
 
Injury from Accidents
Tungsten carbide rings can be caught in industrial settings. It is rarely advisable to wear jewelry in warehouse, automotive, construction or manufacturing industries; however, tungsten carbide rings are particularly dangerous. Many pieces of jewelry will bend or break when pressure is put on them from machines or other areas. If the pulling occurs or the ring becomes caught, the ring will not break and may cause further injury to the person involved.

W-Ni-Cu-Based High-Density Alloy Compacts Prepared by Preparing the Mixture

Milling Mixing Method

Generally the production of high-density tungsten alloy, mixture preparation materials are used mostly dry powder mixing method, namely mechanical mixing. This method is characterized by simple preparation process. Form a V-shaped or cone blenders. Since W, Ni, Cu metal powders of different densities, in order to achieve uniformity of mixture will generally be Ni, Cu, W powder, mixed 8-12h.

Secondary Pyrolysis Reduction Method

To obtain W-Ni-Cu highly uniform mixing of the components, and to mix with a high sintering activity, it developed a named "secondary pyrolysis Reduction" of new technology. The resulting coating has a certain performance W - Ni-Cu sintered mixture of different ingredients than normal milling mixture reduces 100-130 ℃, and the resulting aggregate is more excellent.

Secondary pyrolysis method is to first reduction of nickel nitrate dissolved in distilled water, then W powder and uniformly mixed solution of nickel nitrate, roasted solution and reduction, and the obtained composite powder of nickel tungsten package. Then the composite powder was mixed with copper chloride, drying, reducing, and finally obtain W, Ni, Cu composite powder.

Mechanical Alloying

Mechanical alloying process is the 1970s after the development of a special alloy materials Preparation mature technology. Mechanical alloying metallic raw material powder in proportion to the drum into a ball mill, adding the ball, in order to prevent dirty, the product of the same composition can also be a W alloy ball. Mechanical alloying time to reach the mixed powders reached after 60h alloying and composition distribution, then press forming and sintering processes. The sintering temperature can be considerably lower.

In addition, since the 1990s, foreign research developed yet another new job - RSU reactive spray deposition method, using this method time is short, quick, the production of tungsten alloy powder and mechanically mixed powder compared to greatly improve reactive sintering the alloy microstructure uniformity and mechanical properties of the alloy.

Can a Tungsten Ring Be Resized?

Re-sizing
Tungsten rings cannot be re-sized because of tungsten's physical properties. According to many jewelry sites, tungsten rings are 10 times harder than 18K gold and four times harder than titanium. Tungsten also has a very high melting temperature of 6170.0 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
Sizing Options
When it comes to tungsten rings, sizing options are limited. However, many jewelry stores offer re-sizing warranties that will cover the ring if one should need it to be sized. In the case of a tungsten ring, the purchaser must ship or return the ring to the store it was purchased and a new ring will be sent to him or her.
 
Benefits
Tungsten is a very hard metal. It will not bend like gold rings do. It is also difficult to scratch due to its physical properties. Due to the fact it is almost impossible to scratch, it holds its polish as well.
 
Considerations
Tungsten rings are more brittle than other metals because they are so hard. While the ring will not bend, this could cause the ring to shatter if it were struck.
 
Tungsten rings are often sold as an alloy with cobalt. Cobalt has properties that, when in contact with oils in skin, could permanently tarnish the ring.
 
Purchasing
When purchasing a tungsten ring, it is important to remember to buy a ring that is cobalt free as well as one that comes with a warranty (or a separate purchasable warranty) that covers resizing.
