Tungsten Carbide is a compound synthesized by the reaction of tungsten (metal) powder and carbon black (carbon powder) at temperatures of 2600° - 2700° F. Tungsten has a chemical symbol "W" which comes from the name "Wolfram" and that is how it is known in Europe. There are a total of thirteen tungsten containing ores of which four types are the most abundant. These are: Wolframite - FeMn(WO 4 ) 2 Scheelite - CaWO 3 Ferberite - FeWO 4 Hubnerite - MnWO 4 The thirteen tungsten containing ores are in combinations with eight elements which are manganese, calcium, iron, copper, aluminum, lead, sulphur and zinc. The two most abundant and widely used ores are Wolframite and Scheelite. In processing Wolframite the tungsten contained is first converted …show more content…
The sodium tungstate liquid is clear and colorless. The liquid is then filtered from the remainder and collected in large containers where calcium carbonate (Ca 2 CO 4 ) is added precipitating Calcium Tungstate (Ca 2 WO 4 ) which is then filtered out and dropped into a digester containing hydrochloric acid (HCl) where in the prescence of heat tungstic acid (H 2 WO 4 ) is produced. After filtering, the cake is dumped into a slurry tank containing ammonium hydroxide (NH 4 OH). At this point clear colorless ammonium tungstate is formed (NH 4 ) 2 WO 4 . After filtration the rich "W" containing liquid is pumped to a crystallizer. The heat from the steam evaporates the water and a white chemical called Ammonium Paratungstate or APT - (NH 4 ) 2 . (H 2 O) x .WO 4 is precipitated. Application of high heat in a calciner causes the compound to reduce to a blue oxide which is approximately WO 3 O 11 . Pure tungsten oxide is WO 3 and yellow. Further heat under a hydrogen atmosphere in high nickel boats reduces the oxide to tungsten metal powder "W". In the reducing operation the grain size of the tungsten powder is carefully controlled by controlling these …show more content…
High efficiency dust control is a must so that all powder can be recovered and a dust free environment is maintained. Specially designed band saws, slicers and vertical lathes are used as common practice. For special radii and special shapes, either plated wheels are made to the exact form or green silicon carbide wheels are dressed to the required shape. Silicon carbide wheels "load up" readily and require constant dressing. Silicon carbide contamination is always a problem therefore the wheels are "dressed" in other areas far from the preforming departments. 9. Sintering: a) Hydrogen Sintering: A hydrogen atmosphere protects the material from oxidation and reduces some oxides. The hydrogen flow is always in a direction opposite the direction of the material being sintered so as to "sweep" the impurities away. Graphite boats are required and temperatures of between 2500° F and 2750° F are used. All small parts are packed in alundum (Al 2 O 3 ) grain. b) Combination Vacuum Sintering: Pre-sintering is done under inert gas or in vaccum at low temperatures until the paraffin has evolved; the gas is then pumped out and the temperature is continuously increased to the final temperature. Vacuum furnaces
grinding Cubic boron nitrate and diamond is used and in conventional- silicon carbide, ceramic grains or aluminium oxide is used. Since iron comes under the conventional grinding, grinding wheels that are made of silicon carbide, ceramic grains or aluminium oxide could be
This was probably heat generated from the reactions of and the mixture to generate the precipitate. The precipitate was filtered out once, but the filtrate was not colorless, but still milky white. The white milky filtrate indicates the presence of . The filtrate was not reused, so some of precipitate may have been lost.
Students first prepped for the lab by cleaning out the crucible. Three boiling chips were added in the crucible once it was wiped out with a paper towel. The crucible was then placed on a clay triangle two finger widths above the Fischer burner. After 10 minutes of the crucible being directly under the flame, the it was clean and students allowed time for it to cool down. Next, the students from then on used tongs to transport the crucible from weighing it and back to the clay triangle.
On the second day when the sulfuric acid, H2SO4(aq), was added the solid started to liquify and it started to turn blue making it copper sulfate, CuSO4(aq). After we added zinc, Zn(s) a silver element, to the beaker and stirred it until the zinc was dissolved and the liquid turned clear which was zinc sulfate, ZnSO4(aq). When we were done stirring what we were left with was copper which ended up a

In order to properly appreciate the importance of aluminum recycling in our world, an aluminum recycling experiment was done through alum synthesis. The process by which this was done recycled solid aluminum can pieces (Al) into the form of solid raw alum crystals (KAl(SO4)2) through a series of reactions. Application of this experiment comes from analyzing the calculated percent yield of alum crystals, understanding where error is involved, and determining how a perfect yield could be obtained. First, 0.9-1.2 grams of aluminum pieces were weighed out and placed in a 250 mL beaker, in which 50 mL of 1.4 M KOH solution was added and a fume hood was placed. The mixture was placed on a hot plate and stirred to speed up the reaction.
When the substance reacted with the solution it turned from its initial color yellow/brown to its final color lilac/violet. The experiment went by easily flowing nicely, although one or two things went wrong, none had any effect on the experiment. It is very important to know what foods are composed of because, knowing what is inside our food is essential for our health. We need to be aware of what things we are consuming and what we should be consuming for our bodies to function properly.

For this composition, Nell formulated an opaque ash-glaze, which during the firing sequence bonded perfectly with the clay-body of the model. The clay body and the ash-glaze are, during the firing process, transmuted into what a potter would term, a good
INTRODUCTION Welding has always been something that interests me a lot. It’s always looked like fun and I wanted to try it out. After I tried it once at work I made up my mind that that was what I wanted to do after school. I plan on attending TSTC in Hutto for welding, machining, and fabrication working.
Hardening is carried out by quenching steel, which consists of cooling it rapidly from a temperature above the transformation temperature (A?). The quenching is necessary to suppress the normal breakdown of austenite into ferrite and cementite (pearlite), and to cause a partial decomposition at such a low temperature to produce the new phase called martensite. To achieve this, steel requires a critical cooling velocity, which is greatly reduced by the presence of alloying elements. In such case hardening of steel occurs with mild quenching. Martensite is a supersaturated metastable phase and has body centered tetragonal lattice (bct) instead of bcc.
Nickel I Axel Fredrik Cronstedt am the discover of Nickel. Now first I have mistaken Nickel as a copper mineral when our miners were looking for copper in 1751. “The name Nickel is the shortened for the German 'kupfernickel' meaning either devil's copper or St. Nicholas's copper” (http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/28/nickel). So now that Nickel has been discovered it has been said that it is an “tale of mistaken identity and superstition” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel).
Titanium was discovered in 1791 by geologist Reverend William Gregor from Cornwall, England. Gregor found a black magnetic sand consisting mainly of the oxides of iron and titanium. When he begins analyze it, he knew that he was on the purge to discovering a new metal, which he named it manaccanite. The origin of the name titanium came from a German chemist Martin Klaproth. In 1795, he found a mineral rutile from Boinik, Hungry, that it was just like Gregor’s.
Welders help build metal products from coffeepots to skyscrapers. They help build space vehicles and millions of other products ranging from oil drilling rigs to automobiles. In construction, welders are virtually rebuilding the world, extending subways, building bridges, and helping to improve the environment by building pollution control devices. The use of welding
The two most basic welding forms we know for creating metals are TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. The other name for TIG is GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and MIG likewise is regularly alluded to as GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). The third is Arc Welding that is a sort of welding that uses a welding control supply to make an electric circular segment between a terminal and the base material to soften the metals at the welding point. You can utilize either immediate (DC) or rotating (AC) present and consumable or non-consumable terminals.
