What is tungsten carbide powder?
Tungsten carbide powder (WC) is the main raw material for producing carbide, chemical formula WC. Full name Wolfram Carbide, tungsten carbide powder for black hexagonal crystal, metallic luster, hardness, and similar to diamond, is a good conductor of electricity and heat. The melting point of 2870℃, boiling point of 6000℃, and relative density of 15.63 (18℃). It can dissolve in a variety of carbides, especially in titanium carbide solubility is very large, forming TiC-WC solid melt. Tungsten carbide is insoluble in water, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid and is easily soluble in a mixture of nitric acid-hydrofluoric acid. Pure tungsten carbide is fragile. It can reduce brittleness if mixed with a small amount of titanium, cobalt, and other metals. Tungsten carbide, used as a steel cutting tool, often adds titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, or their mixtures to improve explosive resistance. Tungsten carbide is chemically stable.
Main uses of tungsten carbide powder
Tungsten carbide powder is mainly used for the production of carbide. In tungsten carbide powder, the carbon atoms are embedded in the gap of the tungsten metal lattice, which does not destroy the lattice of the original metal to form the solid gap solution, so it is also called a gap filling (or insertion) compound. A mixture of tungsten and carbon can produce tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide is heated at high temperatures, and the presence of hydrogen or hydrocarbons can accelerate the reaction. If prepared with tungsten, the product must eventually be a vacuum at 1500℃ to remove the carbon O. Tungsten carbide is suitable for mechanical processing at high temperatures. It can make cutting tools, kiln structure materials, jet engines, gas turbines, nozzles, etc.
Tungsten carbide powder production
With metal tungsten powder and carbon black as raw materials, according to a certain proportion of the mixture, the mixture is placed into the graphite boat plate, placed in the carbon tube furnace or high-frequency induction furnace, carbonization at a certain temperature, and then get the tungsten carbide powder by ball grinding, screening.
