The most common lanthanum tungsten electrode contains lanthanum dioxide (La203), known as lanthanum oxide. In Europe and Japan, lanthanum tungsten electrodes have been the most commonly used alternative to thorium tungsten electrodes in most applications. There are three kinds: lanthanum oxide, lanthanum oxide 1.5% and lanthanum oxide 1%. Lanthanum trioxide has the lowest electronic escape work, the easiest to start the arc, the lowest point temperature, which helps to prevent grain growth and improve the service life. By testing the lanthanum tungsten electrode, which contains 2 percent lanthanum, it shows that if there is no overload current, the life expectancy is longer than thorium tungsten, which is easier to start in most USES.

Rhenium tungsten wire, tungsten rhenium alloy wire) or Sapphire tungsten-rhenium alloy wire (tungsten rhenium alloy wire for Sapphire) is base in rhenium tungsten alloy elements, is a kind of tungsten alloy. The typical rhenium content in the alloy is 1%, 3%, 5%, 20%, 25% and 26%, etc. The microcracks are often produced by tungsten on the grain boundary, and the expansion of these microcracks is an important reason for the fracture of tungsten. Tungsten-rhenium alloy in easy forming twin deformation process, and thus reduce the stacking fault energy, reduce the dislocation movement of grain boundary impedance, resulting in dislocation mobility increases, prompting tungsten solution to soften. This phenomenon is called "rhenium plasticizing effect". In the tungsten-rhenium alloy series, the plasticization effect of rhenium is obvious, and the plasticization effect of rhenium is reduced.

Nickel-based high-temperature alloys (nickel-based alloys) were developed in the late 1930s. Britain first produced nickel-base alloy Nimonic 75(ni-20cr-0.4 Ti) in 1941; Nimonic 80(ni-20cr-2.5 ti-1.3 Al) was developed in order to increase the creep strength and add aluminum. The United States in the mid-1940s, the Soviet union in the late 1940s, China also developed the nickel base alloy in the mid-1950s. The development of nickel-based alloys consists of two aspects: improvement of alloy composition and innovation of production process. In the early 1950s, the development of vacuum smelting technology created conditions for the refining of nickel-base alloys containing high aluminum and titanium. The initial nickel-based alloys are mostly deformed alloys. Late 50 s, because of the increase in working temperature of the gas turbine for high temperature alloy has a higher strength, but the strength of the alloy is high, it will be difficult to deformation, even not deformation, so adopt revestment precision casting technology, developed a series of casting alloy has good high temperature strength. In the mid - '60s, we developed better directional crystallization and single crystal high-temperature alloy and powder metallurgy high temperature alloy. In order to meet the needs of ships and industrial gas turbines, a series of high chromium nickel base alloys with good corrosion resistance and stable structure have been developed since the 1960s. In the period from the early 1940s to the end of the 1970s, the working temperature of the nickel base alloy increased from 700 to 1100, with an average increase of about 10 per year.

The influence of CVD temperature on the composition, microstructure and morphology of tantalum coating

Firmetal, 2018-03-16 10:47:00 PM

Using the tacl2-h2-hcl reaction system, cold wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was used to deposit tantalum coating on molybdenum substrate. The composition, structure and morphology of tantalum coating at different deposition temperatures were studied by X-ray diffractometer, gold microscope and scanning electron microscope. Results show that, within the scope of 1000 ~ 1300 ℃, no change of tantalum sedimentary phase composition, and has a certain effect on preferential growth; The grain size of tantalum deposits increased with the increase of deposition temperature. The surface particles of tantalum sediments are pyramidal and increase with the increase of sedimentation temperature.

3D printing tantalum knee implant

Firmetal, 2018-03-15 09:18:00 PM

Titanium and nickel alloys are commonly used to make medical implants because they have a good strength weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and are relatively abundant in the earth's crust.

Tantalum, by contrast, is a rare metal with many properties that make it a valuable medical grade alloy additive. In addition to extremely high corrosion resistance, tantalum also has chemical inertness. It is a viable alternative to platinum and plays a role in certain sterile environments. By adding materials, this relatively uncommon metal can be used in a small amount and optimizes its potential by using a laser aided additive manufacturing system.

Titanium alloy screw

Firmetal, 2018-03-08 10:15:00 PM

Life everywhere need fasteners, now so important, in the fasteners for cleaning the experience of the titanium alloy screws to talk a summarized below: not good cleaning method, mainly for cold heading adhered on the surface of the processing or machining titanium alloy screws of cooling oil residual oil, oil heat treatment quenching fastener surface residual oil after cleaning.

Titanium alloy screw first method alkaline water cleaning method: the simplest alkaline water cleaning is direct heating or indirect heating cleaning tank, cleaning solution is 3% ~ 10% N2CO3 or NaOH aqueous solution. For carburizing and carbonitriding self-drilling titanium alloy screws, tempering before the middle of the multi-purpose cleaning heating to 50 ~ 70 ℃ 5% ~ 10% sodium carbonate solution. Connected mesh belt furnace belongs to this class. Titanium alloy screw cleaning titanium alloy screw is usually sprayed and immersed in dual mode. If hot water is used for washing, it is better to wash with hot water. Finally, the high-pressure air is used for drying. The main drawback of alkaline water cleaning method is that the cleaning effect is not very good, especially the blind hole of the fastener and the spot and residue of the groove. The waste water produced by alkaline water cleaning must be neutralized, and waste oil can be recovered to meet the environmental requirements.

The properties of tantalum

Firmetal, 2018-03-06 09:30:00 PM

Tantalum is also a kind of rare metal is steel gray luster, melting point 2980 ℃, the density of 16.6 g/cm 3.Tantalum is similar to niobium and is a very stable chemical element. Only fluorine, hydrofluoric acid, acidic solution containing fluoride and sulfur trioxide can react with tantalum. It reacts with a concentrated solution at room temperature and is dissolved in a molten base. The density of tantalum in mild oxidation to the start of the 200 ℃.Tantalum has good low temperature plasticity, tantalum alloy even in - 196 ℃ can keep the ductility. Tantalum also has the ability to absorb hydrogen, nitrogen, etc, and it is in 200-300 ℃ under the suction, high temperature 800-1200 ℃ under the condition of vacuum and precipitation. Under natural conditions, tantalum and niobium are symbiotic, and the minerals containing tantalum and niobium are: tantalum niobium and tantalum niobate.

Niobium nanowire supercharge or change wearable technology future

Firmetal, 2018-03-05 10:05:00 PM

Carbon nanomaterials are the enemy.
For the past decade, scientists have been trying to find materials that make high-performance supercapacitors. Currently the most popular materials are non-carbon nanotubes and graphene, but scientists are still not satisfied with their conductivity.

In this study, by the Massachusetts institute of technology mechanical engineering professor Ian w. hunter, saeed m. wheat, force and three researchers at the university of British Columbia in Canada team behind the study, after many experiments, finally selected the niobium nanowires. McVakley and his colleagues have demonstrated that high energy density is not unique to carbon nanomaterials, and niobium nanomaterials may be a better choice.
