Research on the effect of liquid-liquid doping processes on the doped powders and microstructures of W–ZrO2(Y) alloys

In previous researches, there are few studies on the mechanisms involved in liquid-liquid doping techniques for preparing oxide particle doped tungsten powders. this research, based different polytungstate species, three liquid–liquid synthesizing precursor powders were proposed and compared. The extremely homogeneous hexagonal (NH4)0.33WO3·H2O microspheres flaky (NH4)6H2W12O40·5H2O synthesized. synthesis of precursors, processes reaction yttrium-stabilised ZrO2 ternary liquid phase system discussed. powder prepared through azeotropic distillation method exhibits higher quality due to highly dispersed ZrO2(Y) uniformly distributed precursor, corresponding alloy possesses more excellent microstructure mechanical properties. offers a general pathway is readily adapted large-scale industrial production high-quality W
