Abstract
Fine-grained spherical tungsten powder with particle size from 6 μm to 11 μm has been fabricated by a well-designed method with two simple steps. A pretreatment of tungsten powder was carried out in the first step. Complete dispersion, effective classification and favorable shape modification have been achieved by jet milling process. Accordingly, monodisperse tungsten powders with narrow particle size distribution were obtained. On the basis of the existing calculation and simulation results, plasma spheroidization parameters have been optimized. Thus, fine-grained spherical tungsten powder with narrow particle size distribution has been prepared by subsequent radio frequency (RF) inductively coupled plasma spheroidization. Furthermore, the presented method can be useful in fabricating spherical tungsten powder of different particle size with narrow particle size distribution as well as for process control in large-scale continuous production.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
