Lanthanum tungsten electrode manufacturing method relates to a method mainly used for TIG ( tungsten inert gas welding ) and PLASMA ( plasma ) technology for metal welding , cutting, spray coating , smelting a method of manufacturing the tungsten electrode .

TIG tungsten electrode materials and PLSMA is a key technology in materials. Has been used in industry there are many types of tungsten electrodes . Tungsten electrodes widely used in the thoriated tungsten electrode shows better performance. However, due to which the body will produce thorium radiological hazards and the cumulative nature of the radioactive contamination of the environment , for people developed a cerium tungsten electrodes in an attempt to replace the technical field of TIG and PLSMA radioactive thorium tungsten electrode . Practical application shows that cerium tungsten electrodes in the small current welding , etc. successfully replaced thorium tungsten electrode , but in AC polarity , gas discharge light source , cathode emission materials, Shangmo completely replace thoriated tungsten electrodes , there is repeated arcing , poor reliability , burning rate, life expectancy and low defects. With the development of high-tech , machinery and electronics , petroleum, chemical , aerospace , shipbuilding , atomic energy and other fields, the metal being cut parent material type , shape, thickness and other requirements and more complex, the performance requirements for tungsten electrodes more increasingly harsh. Need to develop a better performance of the electrode in order to meet their needs. The results show that the addition of rare earth elements La, Y can effectively improve the performance of tungsten electrodes , especially lanthanum tungsten electrode has a long life and good performance from arc has broad application prospects .

Lanthanum tungsten electrode current manufacturing methods , the solid material is mainly used uniformly mixed with lanthanum nitrate , concentrated by heating , drying ( roasting ) , screening and other processes lanthanum tungsten-coated powder was prepared , and then restored , pressure type , vertical melting , billet and finished processing system to obtain lanthanum tungsten electrode . As is the use of nitrate -coated powder preparation method of the preparation process, will produce large amounts of NO pollution, and the decomposition temperature of the nitrate is high, it takes a long time to complete decomposition of calcination , resulting in process is difficult . And there may be generated due to decomposition of the nitrates incomplete , resulting in poor conductivity of billet , process performance deterioration phenomenon. Into the present application in September 1989 Patent No. 89107270.5 patent application , the disclosure of cerium acetate was prepared using the method of cerium tungsten electrodes , the method is effective to prevent the manufacturing process of cerium tungsten electrodes , preparing a NOx generated when powder coated environmental pollution , harsh operating conditions , but in the processing performance, there are still insufficient .

Lanthanum tungsten electrode manufacturing method, comprising lanthanum tungsten-coated powder preparation , reduction, pressure type , melt down , and finished processing the preform , characterized in that : a. Using lanthanum acetate and including APT, tungsten and tungsten trioxide powder the solid material into a slurry with water mixed to prepare a lanthanum tungsten-coated powder ; b. lanthanum tungsten-coated powder decomposition of lanthanum was conducted in a hydrogen atmosphere , a reduction temperature is controlled at 600 ~ 700 ℃, time 2-3 hours , the second reduction temperature controlled at 800-970 ℃, reduction time 3-5 hours , the hydrogen flow control during the 0.5-2.0m3 / h.

The process of the invention include use of lanthanum acetate was added to APT, tungsten and tungsten trioxide powder of solid material , synthetic lanthanum tungsten-coated powder prepared by the method of lanthanum tungsten electrodes , instead of lanthanum nitrate used in the prior art tungsten-coated powder preparation Lanthanum the method of eliminating nitrogen oxides due to the gas generated by the decomposition of nitrate pollution. Since lanthanum acetate and lanthanum nitrate in the decomposition temperature differences, resulting in process effect differences. Prepared using lanthanum acetate, lanthanum tungsten-coated powder decomposition temperature greatly reduced , effectively simplify the process , and the method of the present invention is carried out in a hydrogen atmosphere using lanthanum decomposition avoids lanthanum compound is unstable in an oxidizing atmosphere of volatile , but also make the lanthanum salts decompose more fully, significantly improved vertical melt process the Chinese material conductive properties. With the lanthanum salt decomposition and reduction process to achieve continuous operation in the same device to complete two processes , greatly simplified the process, the reduction of working hours , saving energy , is an ideal method for producing lanthanum tungsten electrodes .

Adding tungsten oxide, lanthanum tungsten electrodes produced . Specific data as follows :

Other grades dopant doping doping electron work function color coating head
WL10 La2O3 0.80 ~ 1.20% <0.20% 2.6 ~ 2.7 Black
WL15 La2O3 1.30 ~ 1.70% <0.20% 2.8 ~ 3.0 golden yellow
WL20 La2O3 1.80 ~ 2.20% <0.20% 2.8 ~ 3.2 Sky Blue

Lanthanum tungsten has the following advantages: * better * Mechanical cutting performance better creep resistance * High * recrystallization temperature ductility .

Lanthanum tungsten electrodes is already the internationally popular electrode materials, especially the content is 1.5% ( with a difference of 2.0% content ) of lanthanum tungsten electrodes .

Scientific research shows that 1.5% lanthanum tungsten, tungsten thorium with the nearest 2.0% demonstrated conductive properties, therefore , welding personnel can easily replace the electrode , rather than replace the device parameters.

In 1998 there is a very famous field trials , is to 2.0% tungsten thorium electrode , 2.0% cerium tungsten electrodes and two vendors 1.5% lanthanum tungsten electrodes at 70 Ann 150 amps , 300 volts DC environment for welding tasks , the result is that in both cases , 1.5% lanthanum tungsten electrodes have demonstrated its excellent welding performance , but also reflects its small burn rate characteristics.

Lanthanum tungsten electrode is also suitable for AC welding tasks , and performance excellence.
