Cobalt Doped Ammonium Paratungstate Reduction
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 10 July 2015
Cobalt doped ammonium paratungstate (Co-doped APT) precursors for the fabrication of cemented carbides were synthesized by co-precipitation, where W and Co are mixed on the atomic scale. The effect of cobalt content on the reduction of W–Co precursor was studied. W–Co precursors with different ratios of tungsten to cobalt were prepared and calcined at 220 °C for 5 h in air, followed by a reduction in hydrogen gas at 600 and 650 °C for different times. The resulting powders were characterized with respect to phase constituent, specific surface area, particle size, density, and morphology of the reduced powders.
It has been found that the addition of cobalt results in a higher reduction rate toward the metallic phases. However, the particle size of the reduced powders increases with increasing cobalt content, while its relative density decreases. The specific surface area of reduced powders at 650 °C increases for short reduction times, due to reduction of oxides to metal powder, and decreases for long reduction time due to agglomeration of metal powder. Cobalt plays the role as a catalyst during the reduction processing. On the other hand, it promotes the agglomeration of small particles. However, the completely reduced powders were well nanostructured with an average particle size between 20–50 nm.

Tungsten Concentrate Preparing Ammonium Paratungstate
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 10 July 2015
In order to improve the quality of tungsten products and the export need of tungsten wire, the method for producing high purity ammonium paratungstate is under research. In order to reduce producing cost, improve producing efficiency of tungsten, ammonium paratungstate prepared by tungsten concentrate is studied.
Tungsten concentrate preparing ammonium paratungstate mainly uses soda lye under alkaline leaching tungsten concentrate. During the processing procedure, the alkaline using amount is 2-3.5 times more than the theoretically amount. The first step is evaporation and crystalline of sodium tungstate. Firstly evaporate sodium tungstate in the reaction tower, coarse sodium tungstate crystal is produced. Then add water and hydrochloric acid into it and then acid decomposition happens. After acid decomposition, tungstic acid is produced and was mixed up with ammonium. It is then being processed under 80-95 degree Celsius for 4-6 hours, evaporation amount is between 60-70. The final process is crystalline, filtering, washing and dry. Then the finished ammonium paratungstate is made.

Ammonium Paratungstate Decomposition Thermoanalytic Study
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 10 July 2015
Non-isothermal kinetic (k, A and ΔE) and thermodynamic (ΔH, Cp and ΔS) parameters of ammonium paratungstate decomposition to the onset of formation of WO3, were determined by analysing thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves recorded at various heating rates (1–30°C min−1). Thermal events encountered throughout the decomposition course were due to three endothermic (at 120 ° C (I), 195 ° C (II) and 359 ° C (IV)) and two exothermic (at 265 ° C (III) and 386 °C (V)) processes. The events I–IV were accompanied by weight losses resulting from the elimination of volatile components [(NH4)2O, NH3 and H2O] leading to the formation of intermediate solid products (metatungstate and polytungstate), whereas event V was due to the crystallization of WO3 in the immediate vicinity of its formation (at 370 ° C).

The Principle of Capillary Action of Silver Tungsten Points Prepared by Infiltration Process
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 10 July 2015
Infiltration process for the preparation of silver tungsten points:
Firstly, pressing tungsten skeleton and silver blanks;
Secondly, pre-sintering tungsten skeleton at high temperature;
Thirdly, carrying out liquid phase sintering, that is, stack silver blanks and tungsten skeleton together into sintering furnace, the temperature is higher than the melting point of silver. Silver in the molten state will fill the tungsten skeleton pore by capillary action, and silver tungsten contacts are prepared.
The principle of capillary action of silver tungsten points prepared by infiltration process, its equation expressed as follows:
H = 2α * cosθ / g * ρ * γ
As can be seen from the above equation, if θ is smaller, silver (liquid metal) is easier into the tungsten porous skeleton gaps, that is to say, it is more easily to get desired silver tungsten contacts with high density.
the variable of H = 2α * cosθ /ρ * g * γ are shown as follows:
H: height of the liquid infiltrate into the capillary (mm)
α: surface tension (N / m²) between the liquid and gas phases
θ: wetting angle
ρ: liquid density (kg / m³)
g: acceleration of gravity
γ: capillary radius (mm)

The Main Causes of Tungsten Points Gap Misalignment of Distributor
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 10 July 2015
The main causes of tungsten points’ gap misalignment of distributor as described bellow:
1. The gap of tungsten points will become smaller because the top block of movable arm of contact is abrasive.
2. Tungsten points’ gap after the surface oxide shedding will increase because tungsten points are ablative.
3. The distributor’s shaft and bushing wear on each other, it will make the tungsten contacts’ gap volatile, become small or big suddenly, and will result in the emergence of the distributor shaft swing phenomenon.
4. Drivers adjust improperly. Drivers would usually tend to use visual methods and their experience to adjust the gap of tungsten points, instead of check and adjustments. It can result in the size misalignment of the tungsten contact gap.
So, you should adjust the gap of tungsten contact of distributor correctly to improve the engine's power for reducing the consumption amount of fuel and maintaining the operation of the engine normal.
