Preparation of WO3 thin film gas sensor is generally sol-gel process: First prepare solution or a homogeneous sol with tungsten atom highly dispersed, and then goes on the post-chemical and physical treatment to form a homogeneously dispersed solid film on the substrate’s surface. A new production method for preparing WO3 thin film gas sensor is through facing targets magnetron sputtering method, which the steps are showed following:
1. Wash the p-type monocrystalline silicon chip in concentrated sulfuric acid, deionized water, acetone and ethanol in turn;
2. Place the cleaned monocrystalline silicon chip in the ultra-high vacuum magnetron sputtering equipment with working gas of argon and the target of platinum to prepare interdigitated platinum electrode on the substrate’s surface by magnetron sputtering method; 
3. Use tungsten as a target, in ultra-high vacuum magnetron sputtering equipment with working gases of argon and oxygen, to form tungsten trioxide thin film on the substrate’s surface with interdigitated platinum electrode by magnetron sputtering method;
4. Carry out a heat-treatment in the air to finally get WO3 thin film gas sensor.
 
Advantages of the magnetron sputtering method is that the obtained uniform film, high purity, good adhesion to the substrate film, parameters easy to be controlled, and very sensitive to ammonia. However, this method requires higher in equipment and raw materials than traditional ways, and results in weaker advantages in cost, may be more suitable for laboratory preparation, but not suitable for industrial mass production.

Cutter bit has a relatively large angle but very sharp blade, by a glass across the glass surface, the bottom edge will leave a very sharp groove on the glass. The glass surface is then grooved by pulling action, since the bottom is very sharp, there is a big stress concentration, the brittle glass material is easily split along the groove. There are many types of tungsten carbide glass cutter:
1. By the cutter bit material: natural diamond glass cutter, synthetic diamond glass cutter, carbide glass cutter;
2. By the cutter bit material: Aluminum handle glass cutter, red wooden handle glass cutter, plastic handle glass cutter, bronze handle glass cutter;
3. By the function: Multifunctional glass cutter, electroprobe glass cutter, dual-use positioning glass cutter and connected tape glass cutter;
4. By the shape and using: Straight shank, hand-held, T-typed, rotated type and so on.

When using tungsten carbide glass cutter, you should notice that:
1. Cutting 2-3mm plate glass: Use 2mm × 12mm thin wooden ruler, check the cutting size and consider that the gap of 3mm and 2mm incision. Put the size of one side against the glass, grasp the blade end straightly draws back;
2. Cutting 2-3mm plate glass: Except the method above, there is another method that use 4mm × 50mm ruler, the cutter against the ruler. It should be noticed that b brush kerosene on the incision before cutting;
3. Cutting 4-6mm large plate glass: Before cutting, we should put a wad velvet on the working table to ensure the uniform cutting force;
4. Cutting wired glass: Wired glass has rugged cutting surface, it is easy to slip cutting edge, so the force and speed is important in case of bending;

Tungsten Carbide Test Probe

Category: Tungsten Information
Published on 22 September 2016

Due to its excellent performance, tungsten carbide test probe has been widely used in high-precision electronic hardware test and has longer service life than other materials. According to the structure, tungsten carbide test probe can be specifically divided into cantilever probe (blade type, epoxy type) and the vertical probe (ICT series probes, interface probes, micro-series probes, switch probes, coaxial probes, rotator probes, high current probes, semi-conductor probes, battery and connector contacts, wire test probes). Or it can be also divided by electrical test application:
1. Optical circuit board test probe: the test of the circuit board and short circuit before component installation, most of the domestic probe products can replace imported products;
2. Online test probe: Test for PCB circuit board mounted components, the core technology of high-end products is still under controlled by foreign industry, some of probes domestic have been developed successfully;
3. Microelectronic test probe: the test wafer or chip IC detection probe, the core technology is still in control of foreign companies, domestic manufacturers actively involved in research and development, but only a small part of the success of the production.

In order to ensure the measuring accuracy of test probe, we should notice that:
1. Probe length as short as possible: to reduce bending or deflection of the probe on accuracy;
2. Minimum connection point: every time the probe and the extension rod connected together, the equivalent of an additional introduction of a new potential bending and deformation point;
3. Detection ball as large as possible: make the ball / stem clearance maximum, thus reducing the possibility of false triggering due shake, and may weaken the influence of the measured surface unpolished part on the accuracy caused.

Ecological Material - Multi Composite Rare Earth Tungsten Electrode

Category: Tungsten Information
Published on 20 September 2016

tungsten electrode

Multi composite rare earth tungsten electrode is an ecological material. It can achieve low emissions, no pollution, which can completely replace the serious environmental pollution thorium tungsten electrode used in welding, plasma welding, and spraying and cutting technical and as key heat source material used in metallurgical industry. Currently, the total annual world consumption of tungsten electrodes can up to thousands of tons and the market demand increasing with economic steady development the amount of consumption continues to rise, where thorium tungsten electrode consumption accounts for more than 70%. Thorium is a natural radioactive element and the half-life period is more than 1.39x 1010 year, so the thorium tungsten electrode is harm to human health and environment. As countries increasing attention to environmental issues, will significantly restrict the production and use of thorium tungsten electrodes.

Multi composite rare earth tungsten electrode has low work function, high melting point, good high temperature mechanical properties and chemical stability and there are abundant raw materials, thus becoming the new alternative material of thorium tungsten electrode. In multi composite electrode, rare earth oxides can refine tungsten grain size to improve the performance of the electrode. After welding testing found it has better arcing performance and anti-burning properties. Besides, the arc static characteristic curve is small than Th-W electrode indicated that it has lower surface electrode work function and electrons are easily escape from the surface, which has better welding performance. Multiple composite rare earth tungsten electrodes at 1300 ℃ the effective work function is 2.76eV and Th-W electrode effective work function is 3.08eV, so composite electrode has low thermal electron emission capability. Electron work function has certain impact on the arc performance. At the beginning of arcing and during arcing, the electrode surface has not been heated to enough temperature, so it can not work as a hot cathode at the first. If the electrode surface has low work function, then the electrode to produce the hot electrons temperature is lower and the electrode is easy to produce thermionic emission. At certain voltage the welding circuit current to generate arc discharge current required time is less, which is arcing easier.

Through the above indicators we will see, multiple composite tungsten electrode is an ecological material. Compared to the thorium tungsten electrode it has good weldability and it can replace Th-W electrode as new welding materials.

Tungsten Copper Gas Vane

Category: Tungsten Information
Published on 20 September 2016

As a special wing in rocket jet, tungsten copper gas vane represents the thrust vector controlling technology. And it is indispensable in AAM active duty and in studying. Therefore, it has many strict design requirements as follow:
1. It should have a constant value close enough to lift the gradient to meet the maximum lift control requirements;
2. Differential gas vane should meet the requirements of rolling control;
3. Ensure small resistance to reduce the loss of engine thrust;
4. Rudder hinge moment and change the entire duration of the work to be relatively small in order to reduce the power requirements of the steering gear;
5. Gas vane small as far as possible, but should meet the strength and rigidity requirement. And reasonable location is convenient for attached parts designing and installation;
6. It can not produce mechanical interference when gas vane deflected to the maximum angle.

Based on the ablation mechanism, it can specifically divided into:
1. Effect of particle erosion: A large amount of high energy solid particles in gas stream impact the surface of gas vane intensely, which partial surface reach high temperatures in a short time and accelerate the material ablation. Besides, the surface roughness increases will lead to uneven distribution of the flow field to form a vortex, and lead to the accumulation of localized heat;
2. Mechanical erosion effects: the presence of a thermal expansion coefficient difference between the substrate materials caused by thermal stress generated when it exceeds the combined strength of the gas flow at supersonic peeling effect occurs.

Category: Tungsten Information
Published on 13 September 2016
Hydrogen (H2) is considered as a very clean energy, with the very high heat of combustion. However, due to the explosive concentration range of hydrogen is very large for 4% to 75%, requiring very low ignition energy (0.02mg), and spreading very fast; at the same time, the tiny molecular scale also led to its storage and transportation very difficult. Therefore, the development of high sensitive hydrogen optical fiber sensor which can accurately and quickly apply to detect a variety of hydrogen concentration for kinds of environment have become a hot research topic. Currently, the market presence of hydrogen gas sensor is mainly based on precious metals multimode silica fibers, however, these sensors have lower sensitivity, high cost, short life, easy to polluted from environment and other shortcomings.
 
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a transition metal oxide, belonging to the n-type semiconductor, as a semiconductor gas sensor, tungsten trioxide has been considered to be one of the most promising new oxide sensitive materials to detected NOx, SOx, NH3, CO, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, etc.. A lot of researches are based on the tungsten trioxide hydrogen gas sensor films, in which mostly are combined with noble metal palladium, platinum, etc., in 1975, Lund-strom proposed research of hydrogen gas sensor Pd-MOSFET structure which opened up the field of film; in 2012, a scholar has inducted the research about thermal response of palladium-catalyzed tungsten trioxide film for hydrogen.
