W – C – Co composite nanopowder treatment in microwave electromagnetic field

Abstract

Experiments were carried out on the treatment of the W – C – Co system nanopowders obtained by plasma chemical synthesis in a microwave electromagnetic field with a frequency of 2.45 and 24 GHz in different gas media. The effect of treatment time, power input and carbon content in the treated nanopowder on the yield of tungsten monocarbide WC was investigated.
