Equipment and Process Parameters

High-energy ball milling equipment for the German Simoloyer01-2LM type horizontal mill, like this:
this type of high-energy ball mill Simplified and stirring rod made ​​of special wear-resistant alloy, balls made ​​of bearing steel, spindle speed and the milling process are computer controlled milling time, milling can be used in inert gas or in a vacuum state. This type of high-energy ball milling with high efficiency, uniform particle size, and low impurity content. Ball Mill inner diameter of 146mm, ball diameter of 5mm. The aviation gasoline was chosen as the grinding media and through the circulating water cooling protection.

Milling time and the amount of energy is kinetic energy ball milling determinants made ​​of powder on the granularity of uniformity and impurities play a decisive impact. These factors have an impact on the high-energy ball milling process parameters as rotational speed, ball feed ratio, milling time, nature of raw materials, materials and so gentle atmosphere.

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.

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.

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.
