Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied tungsten powders prepared by reducing the MgWO4 and Ca3WO6 tungstates containing 0.05–1.5 wt % phosphorus at temperatures from 700 to 800°C. The reduction of MgWO4 containing less than 0.3 wt % phosphorus was accompanied by separation of reaction products. Most of the magnesium oxide formed was located beyond the reaction zone. The tungsten powders prepared by reducing MgWO4 consisted of α-W. The powders prepared by reducing Ca3WO6 at a temperature below 740°C consisted of a mixture of the α- and β-phases. Raising the percentage of phosphorus in the starting tungstate led to an increase in the percentage of the β-phase. The highest β-W content of the powder was 60 wt %.
