Abstract:
Using WC-6 % Co as the basic ingredient, cobalt acetate, ultra-pure carbon, organic carbon are mixed with WO
2.72, WO
3, APT and AMT, respectively. After wet milled in the inclinable rolling mill with pure water, the slurry is formed. By sufficiently stirring and then spray drying the slurry, the precursor powders are prepared. After being calcined, sieved and weighted, the precursor powders are pushed into 1 100 ℃ high temperature Mo wire furnace with H
2 to prepare WC-6Co composite powders. The results show that the particle size of the WC-6Co composite powders prepared by using WO
2.72 as raw material is 1~45 μm, with average particle size of 23.38 μm; the particle sizes are 8~35 μm with average particle size of 22.58 μm and 1~34 μm with average particle size of 12.81 μm, as well as 3~45 μm with average particle size of 17.83 μm by using WO
3, APT and AMT as raw materials, respectively. The order of powder sphericity from good to bad is WO
3, WO
2.72, AMT and APT. The order of bulk density from large to small is WO
3, WO
2.72, APT, AMT. By measuring powders'BET, WC grain sizes of powders prepared by using WO
2.72、WO
3、AP and AMT as raw materials are 400 nm, 252 nm, 255 nm, 26 nm, respectively.
