The invention discloses ultra-coarse
tungsten carbide and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: providing ultra-coarse
tungsten oxide particles with the
water content of 3-5 wt%, the average particle size of the ultra-coarse
tungsten oxide particles being 28-45 [mu] m; loading the ultra-coarse
tungsten oxide particles into a boat, placing the boat in a closed reduction furnace, introducing
hydrogen, and carrying out a reduction reaction to obtain ultra-coarse tungsten particles; wherein the temperature of the reduction reaction ranges from 950 DEG C to 1100 DEG C, the boat loading amount ranges from 2.8 Kg / boat to 3.5 Kg / boat, the
circulation time ranges from 45 min / boat to 60 min / boat, the
hydrogen flow ranges from 8 m < 3 > / h to 15 m < 3 > / h, and the
hydrogen dew point ranges from-65 DEG C to-75 DEG C; the ultra-coarse tungsten particles and carbon are mixed, and a carbon mixed material is obtained; performing high-temperature
carbonization on the carbon-containing mixture to obtain
tungsten carbide particles; the
tungsten carbide particles are crushed and sieved, the ultra-coarse
tungsten carbide is obtained, and the average particle size of the ultra-coarse tungsten
carbide ranges from 30 micrometers to 60 micrometers. According to the method, the ultra-coarse tungsten particles with high purity and more uniform
particle size distribution can be obtained.
