Production Method of Metal Alloy W-Cu Alloys Custom Size Tungsten Copper Alloy Sheet:
Powder metallurgy: Powder metallurgy is a standard method for preparing tungsten copper alloy sheets. First, tungsten and copper powder are mixed according to a particular proportion, and then the alloy sheet is prepared by pressing, sintering, and rolling. The advantages of this method are that the alloy sheet with complex shape and structure can be prepared, and the properties of the alloy can be controlled by adjusting the powder ratio. However, the production cost of powder metallurgy is higher, and the surface quality of the prepared alloy sheet could be better.
Smelting method: The smelting method prepares tungsten copper alloy by melting tungsten and copper together. First, tungsten and copper are mixed proportionately and melted in a high-temperature furnace. In the smelting process, tungsten and copper form a liquid alloy, which is gradually cooled and solidified. The advantage of this method is that an alloy with high purity and high density can be prepared. However, the production cost of the smelting method is higher, and the surface quality of the prepared alloy sheet could be better.
Jet deposition method: The jet deposition method prepares tungsten-copper alloy by spraying a mixed powder of tungsten and copper into liquid copper. First, a mix of tungsten and copper is sprayed into liquid copper through a nozzle. Then, the density and properties of the alloy are controlled by controlling the temperature and pressure of the liquid copper. The advantage of this method is that the alloy with high purity and high density can be prepared, and the properties of the alloy can be controlled by adjusting the powder ratio. In addition, jet deposition can also prepare alloy sheets with complex shapes and structures. However, the production cost of jet deposition is high, and the surface quality of the prepared alloy sheet could be better.
Electrochemical method: The electrochemical process prepares tungsten copper alloy by electrolyzing a mixed solution of tungsten and copper. First, the hybrid solution of tungsten and copper is put into the electrolytic tank. Then, the tungsten and copper are deposited on the cathode by electrolysis to form an alloy. The properties of alloys can be controlled by adjusting the electrolytic parameters. In addition, electrochemical methods can also prepare alloy sheets with complex shapes and structures. However, the production cost of the electrochemical process is high, and the surface quality of the prepared alloy sheet could be better.
Mechanical alloying method: The mechanical alloying method prepares tungsten copper alloy by high-energy ball grinding of tungsten and copper powder. First, the powder of tungsten and copper is mixed according to a particular proportion, and then it is put into the ball mill for high-energy ball milling. During the ball milling, tungsten and copper powder constantly collide, deform, and eventually form an alloy. The advantages of this method are that the alloys with high purity and high density can be prepared, and the properties of the alloys can be controlled by adjusting the ball milling parameters. In addition, the mechanical alloying method can also prepare alloy sheets with complex shapes and structures. However, the production cost of the automated alloying process is higher, and the surface quality of the prepared alloy sheet could be better.
