The application relates to a method for preparing porous
tungsten at low temperature based on reaction
sintering, and relates to the technical field of
barium-
tungsten cathode material preparation. By introducing aluminum as a
sintering additive and a binder, a self-sustaining high-temperature
sintering process can be realized, the reaction is self-sustaining,
energy consumption is low, reactants are fully mixed, and the speed is fast. Moreover, the generated Al2O3 is a component of the
tungsten cathode, and the working stability of the
cathode is improved, so that CaO required by the cathode can be added on the basis of reaction heat release, the reaction heat release of aluminum and
tungsten oxide promotes sintering, and the required CaO-Al2O3 composite salt is generated. In the sintering process, Al forms a local
liquid phase, promotes the interaction between particles, and thus a tungsten material with
high density is obtained at a lower temperature, the generated Al2O3 is compounded with CaO at high temperature, and the sintering and salt immersion processes are simultaneously performed, so that the cost of
tungsten cathode preparation is greatly reduced.
