Abstract
The average sizes of copper and nickel nano- and microparticles formed at exploding wires in the range of inhomogeneous and homogeneous heating have been established. The average size of nanoparticles grows, and that of microparticles decreases when the value of energy input into wires reaching E ≈ 0,5Es (Es - sublimation energy). While E > 0.5Es the dependence of the average sizes of nano- and microparticles is weakly expressed. The viscosity of feedstocks increases as the proportion of nanoparticles in the powder increases and their size decreases. At equal dispersity and mass content of particles in the polymer, the feedstock viscosity has been found to depend on the adsorption behavior of metals. The analysis of temperature dependence of the feedstock viscosity based on copper and nickel powders has shown that the optimum values of E/Es for one-stage production of micro-nanoparticle powders by the exploding wires lie in the range of 0.4 … 0.7.
