Abstract
Scandia doped tungsten powders were prepared by spray drying combined with two-step hydrogen reduction. The particle size of doped tungsten powder, powder morphology and doped tungsten matrix were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and laser diffraction particle size analyzer, respectively. The reduction behavior of Sc 2O 3 doped tungsten oxide and the effect of Sc 2O 3 on the property of tungsten powder were studied by the temperature programmed reduction. The experimental results showed that the precursor powders prepared by spray drying had spherical shape. The addition of Sc 2O 3 could decrease the reduction temperature of tungsten oxide. The scandia doped tungsten powder had sub-micrometer size in the range of 0.1 to1 μm and scandium distributed evenly in the powder. By using this kind powder, sub-microstructure cathode matrices with semispherical grains and homogenous distribution of scandium were obtained.
