A process is disclosed for producing doped tungsten wire having a combination of relatively low strength and high ductility. The process involves swaging recrystallized rod to a diameter of from about 80 to about 125 mil, drawing this rod into wire having a diameter of from about 52 to about 62 mil, and stress-relief annealing the wire to impart the combination of low strength and high ductility to the wire when it is drawn to about 35 to about 37 mils.
摘要:
A wire for fabrication of a vibration resistant filament for an incandescent lamp. The wire includes about 0.05-1.00 weight percent lanthanum oxide dispersed in a tungsten matrix and has a microstructure including stringers of fine particles of lanthanum oxide extending parallel to the wire axis. During primary recrystallization of a vibration resistant lamp filament from the filament wire, the stringers produce a microstructure in the filament exhibiting sufficient grain boundary segments extending generally axially along the length of the filament to render the filament resistant to vibration. A method for producing a vibration resistant filament for an incandescent lamp is also disclosed.

A method is disclosed for producing a high hardness refractory metal part, the method comprising hot isostatic pressing a refractory metal part having a density greater than about 98% of the theoretical density in the presence of a pressurizing gas having an atomic size great enough to strain the lattice of the refractory metal at a pressure to exceed the yield strength of the metal to result in the densification of the part to a density of greater than about 98% of the theoretical density. The part is then rapidly cooled. The resulting part has a hardness approaching the hardness of mechanically worked material.

It has been discovered that potassium retention in NS tungsten processing may be improved by double doping tungsten blue oxide (TBO) prior to reduction. The novel `double-doping` process consists of dry doping standard singly doped K--Al--Si TBO with potassium nitrate, KNO.sub.3, followed by the standard reduction, acid washing, sintering, rolling and drawing steps. In another aspect, the novel method includes an aqueous extraction of heteropolytungstate anion [SiW.sub.11 O.sub.39 ].sup.8- from a sample of the singly doped tungsten blue oxide to predict potassium retention.

摘要:
A process for producing potassium and silicon doped molybdenum (KS molybdenum). The process involves mixing an aqueous ammonium molybdate solution and a dilute aqueous potassium silicate solution. The molybdate solution has a pH and a specific gravity sufficient to promote formation of diammonium molybdate crystals in the mixture. Preferably, the pH is about 8.8-11.0 and the specific gravity is about 1.20-1.32. The amount of potassium silicate and the amount of potassium silicate solution are selected to provide predetermined amounts of potassium and silicon in the mixture, preferably about 800-1300 ppm potassium and about 500-1100 ppm silicon, both amounts based on the amount of molybdenum. The mixture is heated to aid dissolution of the potassium silicate and ammonium molybdate in said mixture and to produce a homogeneous solution of ammonium molybdate, potassium, and silicon. The ammonium dimolybdate doped with potassium and silicon is then crystallized out of solution and calcined, for example in an atmosphere of dissociated ammonia, to produce molybdenum dioxide doped with potassium and silicon. The doped molybdenum dioxide is reduced, for example in a flowing hydrogen atmosphere, to produce a doped molybdenum powder, which then may be pressed and sintered to full density.
摘要:
A three step process in which a metal alloy selected from a tungsten based alloy and molybdenum based alloys is provided to prevent the decarbonization of the alloys. The process involves a three step sintering process wherein the atmosphere during the initial heating step is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, thereafter at a intermediate temperature range the atmosphere is hydrogen and a final heating step at a elevated temperature is employed and the atmosphere is a mixture of inert gas and a source of carbon.
摘要:
In a method of making alloy of tungsten and lanthana, lanthanum hydroxide is blended with tungsten metal powder, the mixture is pressed to form a pressed ingot, optionally presintered, and sintered to form the alloy. The use of lanthanum hydroxide as the source of the lanthana dopant allows the pressed or presintered ingots to be stored in air prior to sintering for prolonged periods without becoming degraded from exposure to atmospheric moisture.
