온도에 따른 탄탈 분말 제조와 특성
Production of Tantalum Powder and Characteristics by Temperature
E-mail:
Pure tantalum powder has been produced by sodium as a reluctant, K2TaF7 as a feed material and KCl/KF as a diluent in an inconel stainless steel bomb by the metallothermic reduction. The influence of experimental variable, such as temperature of reduction on the yield and characteristics of the Ta powder has been studied. As the temperature of the reduction was varied from 800?C 980?C, the yield of tantalum powder increased from 41% to 56%. However no appreciable improvement was observed above 920?C. The fraction of fine Ta Powder decreased appreciably with the increase of temperature, and particle size was 2 3μm at reduction temperature of 920?C.Therefore a reduction temperature of 920?C was optimally fixed for subsequent runs.
