Tungsten oxide is also used as a hardmetal; thus, there is an increased demand for nanosized and highly purified products. This has spurred considerable research interest toward developing a controlled technique for oxidising cemented carbide scraps to directly recycle them into powders. Cemented carbide is converted into tungsten oxide in an oxidising atmosphere, and is characterised as a porous powder formed by expansion during the oxidation reaction. Uniformly oxidising powdery cemented carbide during oxidation heat treatment is difficult, and tungsten oxide particles grow when oxidised at a high temperature for long durations. To study the uniform oxidation of WC–Co cemented carbide, the oxidation behaviour of powdered WC–Co was analysed by varying the temperature and atmospheric oxygen concentration. The phases of the produced oxide powder were analysed, and the specific surface area was measured to confirm the average particle size.","PeriodicalId":20392,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47938875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydride-dehydride powders of commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V were CIP’ed into shaped compacts using silicone moulds, then further consolidated using FAST, with ZrO2 powder as a secondary pressing media. The final parts retained the complex features from the CIP moulds but were compressed in the pressing axis. Densities >99% were achieved, with optimised FAST processing parameters required for the different alloys. High hardness and fine equiaxed microstructures were observed at the edges of the parts, suggesting oxygen transfer from the ZrO2 pressing media had occurred, with more investigation needed to better understand and prevent this. Despite this, the CIP-FAST process route has been demonstrated to be a fast, low-cost and material-efficient option to produce a wide variety of complex titanium parts.

However, the current SS316L gas filter has a limitation in enhancing performance due to the trade-off relationship between filterability and permeability. This limitation can be overcome by the geometrical effect of the gas filter that maximises inertial impaction and diffusion interception due to complex flow channels using small flake particles. However, since the smaller the particle size, the yield strength higher, there are few reports of preparing the small flake particles by plastic deformation. This study used a high-energy ball milling process to demonstrate the preparation method for small stainless steel 316L flake particles. Furthermore, the process parameters are systematically optimised to fully transform the spherical particles into thin platelets without fracture and cold welding, and the transformation behaviour is discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":20392,"journal":{"name":"Powder Metallurgy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48400949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
