摘要
The synthesis of ultrafine tungsten carbide (WC) powder has been investigated from a WO3 + Mg + C mixture via combustion technique. The values of combustion parameters were estimated over the Mg concentration range 3 to 16 mol. Fast increasing tendency of the WC/W2C phase ratio from Mg concentration has been found in the final products. Phase pure WC was prepared with more than 10 mol Mg, and a small amount of ammonium carbonate (or urea) was blended with the WO3 + C mixture. The effects of the combustion conditions on product morphology and composition were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analysis. The results of the investigation indicate that carbon-containing compounds significantly enhance the combustion synthesis process; leading to higher conversion efficiencies and phase pure WC formation at 1500-1550 °C. The crystalline particles of WC showed a narrow distribution in particle size, with a mean diameter around 200 nm. The results are discussed in the context of gas-phase and solid-phase transport models. © 2008 Materials Research Society.
