Analysis of tungsten use in major countries of the world

I. Steel industry

Most of tungsten is used to produce special steel. Widely used high speed steels contain 9% to 24% tungsten, 3.8% to 4.6% chromium , 1% to 5% vanadium , 4% to 7% cobalt , and 0.7% to 1.5% carbon. High-speed steel is characterized by high quenching and tempering temperature (700% to 800 °C) in the air, which can be automatically quenched. Therefore, it maintains high hardness and wear resistance up to 600% to 650 °C. Alloy tool steel, tungsten steel containing 0.8% to 1.2% tungsten; chromium tungsten steel comprises 2% to 2.7% tungsten; chromium-tungsten steel contains 2% to 9% tungsten; chromium-tungsten-manganese steel contains 0.5% ~1.6% tungsten. Tungsten-containing steel is used in the manufacture of various tools such as drills, milling cutters, wire drawing dies, female and male dies, and pneumatic tools. The tungsten magnet steel is a permanent magnet steel containing 5.2% to 6.2% of tungsten, 0.68% to 0.78% of carbon, and 0.3% to 0.5% of chromium. The tungsten-cobalt magnet steel contains 11.5% to 14.5% tungsten, 5.5% to 6.5% molybdenum , and 11.5% to 12.5% ​​cobalt hard magnetic material. They have high magnetization and coercive force.

Second, tungsten carbide based hard alloy

The tungsten carbide has high hardness, wear resistance and refractory properties. These alloys contain 85% to 95% tungsten carbide and 5% to 14% cobalt, which acts as a binder metal which gives the alloy the necessary strength. Some alloys are mainly used in the machining of steel, further contains a carbide of titanium, tantalum and niobium. All of these alloys are manufactured by powder metallurgy. They still have high hardness and wear resistance when heated to 1000% to 1100 °C. The cutting speed of cemented carbide tools far exceeds the cutting speed of the best tool steel tools. Cemented carbide is mainly used in cutting tools, mining tools and wire drawing dies.

Third, heat and wear-resistant alloy

The most refractory metal tungsten is a component of many heat-strength alloys, such as 3% to 15% tungsten, 25% to 35% chromium, 45% to 65% cobalt, and 0.5% to 0.75% carbon alloy. It is mainly used for parts with strong wear resistance, such as the valve of aero-engine, the working part of die-cutting hot knife, the turbine impeller, the excavating equipment , the surface coating of the plowshare. Aviation rocket technology, machine parts and the requirements, other sectors of the engine and a high hot strength in some instruments, to tungsten and other refractory metals (tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, rhenium) alloy used as a heat reinforcing material.

Fourth, the contact material and high specific gravity alloy

The tungsten % to copper alloy (10% to 40% copper) and the tungsten % to silver alloy produced by the powder metallurgy method have both good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of copper and silver and wear resistance of tungsten. Therefore, it is a very effective contact material for manufacturing working parts such as a knife switch, a circuit breaker, and a spot welding electrode. a high specific gravity alloy having a composition of 90% to 95% tungsten, 1% to 6% nickel , 1% to 4% copper, and an alloy of iron -based copper (% to 5%) for manufacturing a gyroscope Rotors, airplanes, counterweights that control the rudder, radiation shields for radioisotopes, and baskets.

Five, electric vacuum lighting materials

Tungsten is used in tube production, radio electronics and X-ray technology with tungsten wire, tungsten tape and various forged components. Tungsten is the best material for white woven filaments and spirals. The high operating temperature (2200% to 2500 ° C) guarantees high luminous efficiency, while the small evaporation speed ensures long life of the wire. Tungsten wire is used to make the direct hot cathode and grid of the electron oscillating tube, the cathode of the high voltage rectifier and the side hot cathode heater in various electronic instruments. Use tungsten as the cathode and cathode of the X-ray tube and gas discharge tube, as well as the contacts of the radio equipment and the atomic hydrogen torch electrode. Tungsten wire and tungsten rods are used as heaters for high temperature furnaces (3000 ° C). The tungsten heater operates in a hydrogen gas, an inert gas or a vacuum.

Sixth, tungsten compounds

Sodium tungstate for the production of certain types of paints and pigments, as well as in the textile industry and for increased Bupi mixed with ammonium sulfate and ammonium phosphate and water to the refractory Bupi Bupi. Also used in the manufacture of metal tungsten, tungstic acid and tungstate as well as dyes, pigments, inks, electroplating, etc. Also used as a catalyst or the like. Tungstic acid is a mordant and dye in the textile industry and a catalyst used in the chemical industry for the production of high octane gasoline. Tungsten disulfide is used as a solid lubricant and catalyst in organic synthesis, such as in the preparation of synthetic gasoline. When processing tungsten ore, tungsten trioxide can be obtained, and then tungsten powder is obtained by reducing tungsten trioxide, which is widely used for tungsten materials and tungsten metallurgical materials.
