What is Tungsten powder?
Tungsten powder is the main raw material for processing powder metallurgy products and tungsten alloys. The performance of tungsten powder affects the subsequent operation of tungsten products to a large extent. Therefore, in the extraction and smelting of tungsten, producing metal tungsten powder is the key step in producing metal tungsten and tungsten alloy. Tungsten powder is soluble in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid mixed, melting with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate; slightly soluble in nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and royal water; insoluble in water, hydrofluoric acid, and potassium hydroxide. There are two variants of tungsten, A and B. The A-form is a stable body-centered cubic structure at standard temperature and atmospheric pressure. Type B tungsten occurs only in the presence of oxygen. It is stable below 630℃ and then converted into A-tungsten above 630℃, and the process is irreversible.
Main uses of Tungsten powder
Tungsten is mostly used in the production of carbide and tungsten iron. Tungsten and chromium, molybdenum, and cobalt are used as heat-resistant wear-resistant alloys for making cutting tools, metal surface hardening materials, gas turbine blades, and molybdenum; tungsten and silver alloy are used as electrical contact materials; high-density tungsten-nickel and copper alloy is used as a protective screen for preventing radiation; metal tungsten wires, rods, and sheets are used for making electric bulbs, electronic tubes and arc welding electrodes; tungsten powder can form a filter with various porosity; tungsten powder can be made into processing materials such as wires, rods, tubes and plates, and products of certain shapes. Tungsten powder is mixed with other metal powder. It can be made into various tungsten alloys, such as tungsten molybdenum alloy, tungsten rhenium alloy, tungsten copper alloy, and high-density tungsten alloy. Another important application of tungsten powder is to make tungsten carbide powder and then prepare hard carbide tools, such as car knives, milling cutters, drills, and molds.
Price of Tungsten powder
The different price of tungsten powder purity is also different. The market price of tungsten powder is in the process of dynamic change. The price of tungsten powder can be found on our company's official website. If you need it, you can ask us at any time.
