The invention provides a preparation method of prismatic
titanium diboride powder, and belongs to the technical field of
titanium diboride powder. The preparation method comprises the steps of
titanium source preparation,
boron source preparation, material mixing, cold isostatic pressing and carbon thermal reduction reaction. The step of preparing the titanium source comprises the following steps: heating TiO2
powder body liquid, raising the temperature to 52-55 DEG C, adding a tetrabutyl
titanate solution, uniformly stirring, adding an
ammonia water solution to adjust the pH value to 7.0, and carrying out heat preservation stirring for 2.7-3.2 hours to obtain the titanium source; the step of preparing the
boron source comprises the following steps: adding B4C powder into absolute ethyl
alcohol, carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion, then adding a
mixed solution, controlling the adding rate of the
mixed solution to be 0.8-1.2 g / min, heating to 34-37 DEG C, and carrying out heat preservation and stirring for 3.8-4.2 hours to obtain the
boron source; the
titanium diboride powder obtained through the method is in a
prism shape and is uniform in particle, high in density and purity and poor in high-temperature
oxidation resistance.
