Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Plasma Activated Sintering Technology II
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 02 September 2015
The four steps are applies an axial pressure to the powder, produces plasma for activation of the powder particles through pulse current discharge, with a direct current resistance of the sample is heated up to the required temperature and maintained for a certain time and the stress relief step. The most obvious difference between SPS and PAS is the third step, which SPS is heating by pulse current and it does not use DC as hot source during the whole sintering process.
Compared to common hot pressed sintering, conventional sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP), tungsten carbide nozzle plasma activated sintering technology has many advantages. First of all, it uses a DC to heat powder material and a graphite mold directly, and uses switching DC pulse voltage to generate high-temperature plasma among the powder particles or between voids. Therefore, the operation will be more convenient and more precise in sintering energy controlling. And the inside of material has been heated uniformly, the heat transfer efficiency improved, the material densification improved.

- Published on 02 September 2015
Plasma activated sintering (for short PAS), which takes advantage of switching DC pulse voltage generated high-temperature plasma among the powder particles or between voids. The plasma is a high-temperature, high reactive ionized gas conductance, and is capable of producing high-temperature about 4000-10000K.
So that the plasma can remove the impurities and gas adsorption of the powder grain surface quickly, which promote the substance spreading and moving, accelerating the sintering process and improving the efficiency. It is similar to self-propagation high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and microwave sintering, which is a kind of process that using the heat of inside powder for instant sintering. In general, tungsten carbide nozzle plasma activated sintering technology has four main steps.

Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Spark Plasma Sintering Technology
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 02 September 2015
During spark plasma sintering (SPS) process, the electrode through the DC pulse currents and generated discharge plasma, which makes individual particles uniformly distribute, generate Joule heat and particle surface activation. SPS process is similar to microwave sintering, which takes advantage of the self-heating effect inside for sintering. It can be considered as a process that combines the particle discharge, conductive heat and the pressure. Except heating and pressure two promoting factors, SPS technology can make partial melting of the surface and the surface of the material flaking through effective discharge produced local high temperature particles; And removing the impurities of powder grain surface or adsorption by the sputtering of high-temperature plasma and the impact of discharge.

PDC bits are gauged by either a "go" gauge or a "no go" gauge.
A "no go"gauge is used to ensure a bit is not smaller than allowed and, as the name implies, it should not go or slip down the entire length of the bit. A "go gauge ensures a bit is not larger than allowed and should slip down the entire bit.

Tungsten Carbide Nozzle Spark Plasma Sintering Technology
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 01 September 2015
Spark plasma sintering (referred to SPS) is a kind of progress that put metal powder into the mold made by graphite and other materials, which uses the upper and lower punches to excert energized electrodes and particular sintering pressure to produce high performance material after discharge activation, thermoplastic deformation and cooling. SPS process and hot pressing (HP) have some similarities, but the heating mode is completely different, which uses DC pulse current pressure sintering to sintering directly. In general, DC pulse current plays a significant role in generating discharge plasma, the impact of the discharge pressure, Joule heat and the diffusion of electric field.

The second is the presence of microwave irradiation decreases the activation energy, and it is not easy to grow grains, resulting, which can achieve more uniform fine grain microstructure, and the internal porosity has been reduced so that the products have better ductility and toughness. In addition, the sintering temperature required is also decreasing. Last but not least, microwave sintering can be alternative for material heating.
Different materials have different capacity of absorbing microwave so that we can not only use alternative heating or selective chemical reactions to obtain new materials and new structures, but also can control the heating zone by adds some wave-absorbing material or take advantage of strongly absorbing material to preheat the transparent material and other methods. Compared to traditional sintering progress, tungsten carbide nozzle microwave sintering is more easily to control and it is save and pollution-free, which deserves to be popularized.

Some scientists also found that the microwave field can enhanced the effect of ionic conductivity, and they think high-frequency electric field can promote the transfer of the surface of grain charged vacancy so that the grain is in plastic deformation and promote the sintering of conduct to some extent. In addition, the neck area of sintering that is highly affected by the electric field, which can also make local area ionization for further accelerating the mass transfer process.
The most main advantage of tungsten carbide nozzle microwave sintering is that the microwave was directly coupling with material. Due to the volume of microwave heating, the whole area can receive zero gradient material uniformly heated. The decreases of internal material thermal stress, the decreases of cracking and the deformation occurs, and the material microwave can be absorbed directly into heat so that energy usage has been greatly improved and saved about 80% of energy than conventional sintering.

Compared to traditional sintering process, microwave sintering technology increases the kinetic energy of interior sintered material molecules, atoms, ions, etc. And the sintered material reduced activation energy, increased diffusion coefficient, which can be fast sintering and getting grain refinement through the interaction of microwave sintering material at low-temperature. Microwave radiation can promote densification specifically due to it is not only heating energy, but also a sintering activation process. To analyze the phenomenon, the structure and the apparent activation energy, microwave radiation was found indeed largely contributed to the diffusion of atoms, and the diffusion coefficient under microwave heating was significantly higher than the diffusion coefficient under conventional heating.
