Tungsten powder price stabilizes with the approaching of New Year 2021
China ammonium paratungstate (APT) and tungsten powder prices maintain stability with the approaching of New Year 2020. At present, stricter environmental protection, power limit of mining enterprises and logistic constrain increase production cost, but continued spread of Covid-19 and persisten...Read more -
The benefits of molybdenum wire doped with Lanthanum
The recrystallization temperature of lanthanum-doped molybdenum wire is higher than pure molybdenum wire, and it is because small amount of La2O3 can improve the properties and structure of molybdenum wire. Besides, La2O3 second phase effect can also increase the room temperature strength of the ...Read more -
How Does Tungsten Oxide Effect On The Property Of Tungsten Powder.
As we all know, there are many factors that affect tungsten powder property, but the main factors are nothing more than the production process of the tungsten powder, the properties and characteristics of the raw materials used. At present, many researches are on the reduction process, including...Read more -
Researchers see crack formation in 3-D-printed tungsten in real time
Boasting the highest melting and boiling points of all known elements, tungsten has become a popular choice for applications involving extreme temperatures, including lightbulb filaments, arc welding, radiation shielding and, more recently, as plasma-facing material in fusion reactors such as the...Read more -
From cobalt to tungsten: how electric cars and smartphones are sparking a new kind of gold rush
What’s in your stuff? Most of us give no thought to the materials that make modern life possible. Yet technologies such as smart phones, electric vehicles, large screen TVs and green energy generation depend on a range of chemical elements that most people have never heard of. Until the lat...Read more -
Molybdenum and tungsten in sapphire crystal growth industry
Sapphire is a hard, wear resistant and strong material with a high melting temperature, it is chemically widely inert, and it shows interesting optical properties. Therefore, sapphire is used for many technological applications where the main industry fields are optics and electronics. Today the ...Read more -
Tungsten-fibre-reinforced tungsten
Tungsten is particularly suitable as material for highly stressed parts of the vessel enclosing a hot fusion plasma, it being the metal with the highest melting point. A disadvantage, however, is its brittleness, which under stress makes it fragile and prone to damage. A novel, more resilient com...Read more -
Team develops fast, cheap method to make supercapacitor electrodes for electric cars, high-powered lasers
Supercapacitors are an aptly named type of device that can store and deliver energy faster than conventional batteries. They are in high demand for applications including electric cars, wireless telecommunications and high-powered lasers. But to realize these applications, supercapacitors need be...Read more -
Chinese Tungsten Concentrate Market Is Under Pressure on Lukewarm Demand
The Chinese tungsten concentrate market has been under pressure since late October due to lukewarm demand from end users after customers retreated from the market. Concentrate suppliers cut their offer prices to encourage buying in the face of weak market confidence. Chinese tungsten prices are e...Read more -
Tungsten as interstellar radiation shielding?
A boiling point of 5900 degrees Celsius and diamond-like hardness in combination with carbon: tungsten is the heaviest metal, yet has biological functions—especially in heat-loving microorganisms. A team led by Tetyana Milojevic from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna report for...Read more -
Tungsten suboxide improves the efficiency of platinum in hydrogen production
Researchers presented a new strategy for enhancing catalytic activity using tungsten suboxide as a single-atom catalyst (SAC). This strategy, which significantly improves hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in metal platinum (pt) by 16.3 times, sheds light on the development of new electrochemical ...Read more -
China APT Prices Stabilize Due to Thin Market Trading
The ferro tungsten and ammonium metatungstate (APT) prices in China are unchanged from the previous trading day. Raw material manufacturers become reluctant to sell their products while terminal buyers are still not active in inquiry. Affected by environmental protection, increased mining costs, ...Read more
