摘要:
A W—Cu—Ni alloy having thermophysical properties suitable for use in electrical contacts and electrodes is described. The alloy is formed by direct sintering of a powder blend comprising a tungsten-copper composite powder and a nickel powder. The tungsten-copper composite powder component of the blend comprises individual dual phase particles having a copper phase and a tungsten phase wherein the tungsten phase substantially encapsulates the copper phase. The method for direct sintering the W—Cu—Ni alloy substantially eliminates the formation of brittle intermetallics and slumping during sintering.
摘要:
A method for making a tungsten-copper composite oxide wherein an amount of an ammonium tungstate and an amount of an oxide or hydroxide of copper are combined without milling to form a mixture. The unmilled mixture is then dehydrated and fired at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form the tungsten-copper composite oxide.
摘要:
A method of making a tungsten-copper composite oxide wherein an amount of an oxide of tungsten and an amount of an oxide of copper are combined to form a mixture, the oxide of tungsten or the oxide of copper, or both, being in a hydrated form. The mixture is then milled, dehydrated and fired at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form the tungsten-copper composite oxide, the time sufficient to form the tungsten-copper composite oxide being at least about one-half the time sufficient to form the tungsten-copper composite oxide from a mixture of tungsten trioxide, WO.sub.3, and cupric oxide, CuO, under substantially similar conditions.
摘要:
A novel molybdenum compound, ammonium dodecamolybdomolybdate (AMM), is described which may be used in the manufacture of molybdenum metal and molybdenum carbide powders. The molybdenum compound is a dodecaheteropoly acid salt having a Keggin-type structure wherein molybdenum resides in both the hetero as well as peripheral atomic positions. The novel compound has the general formula (NH4)2Mo12MoO40.6H2O. Because of its low solubility, the compound can be crystallized efficiently and at a high purity from ammonium molybdate solutions.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for producing an agglomerated molybdenum plasma spray powder with a controlled level of oxygen which comprises forming a relatively uniform mixture of agglomerated powders containing molybdenum dioxide and one or more ammonium-containing compounds of molybdenum wherein the mixture has an oxygen content of greater than about 25% by weight and reducing the mixture in a moving bed furnace at a temperature of from about 700.degree. C. to about 1000.degree. C. for a sufficient time to remove a portion of the oxygen therefrom and form reduced molybdenum powder agglomerates having an oxygen content of no greater than about 25% by weight. The reduction takes place in the direction from the outside surface of the agglometates to the inside surface.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for preparing an intimate mixture of powders of nickel-boron-silicon alloy and molybdenum metal powder suitable for thermal spray coatings which comprises milling a starting mixture of the alloy and molybdenum powder to produce a milled mixture wherein the average particle size is less than about 10 micrometers in diameter, forming an aqueous slurry of the resulting milled mixture and a binder which can be an ammoniacal molybdate compound or polyvinyl alcohol, and agglomerating the milled mixture and binder. The intimate mixture and binder are preferably sintered in a reducing atmosphere at a temperature of about 800.degree. C. to about 950.degree. C. for a sufficient time to form a sintered partially alloyed mixture wherein the bulk density is greater than about 1.2 g/cc. The resulting sintered mixture is preferably entrained in an inert carrier gas, passed into a plasma flame wherein the plasma gas can be argon or a mixture of argon and hydrogen, and maintained in the plasma flame for a sufficient time to melt essentially all of the powder particles of the sintered mixture to form spherical particles of the melted portion, and to further alloy the sintered mixture, and cooled.
