This invention provides a
tungsten sputtering target and its preparation method, relating to the field of magnetron
sputtering target preparation technology. The preparation method includes first loading
tungsten powder into a casing; then performing vacuum
hot pressing sintering on the casing filled with
tungsten powder. During vacuum
hot pressing sintering, the casing isolates the tungsten
powder from the carbon
atmosphere, preventing the introduction of
impurity elements, and simultaneously achieving degassing, sealing, and
sintering of the tungsten powder in the casing; followed by
hot isostatic pressing. The casing is made of a
metal with a
melting point higher than 2000℃ that does not chemically react with tungsten. Before vacuum
hot pressing sintering, this invention uses a
metal casing to fill the tungsten powder, which not only improves the initial density and uniformity of the tungsten powder and increases the contact area between powder particles, thus improving sintering activity; it also prevents carbon elements from intruding into the blank, reducing carbon inclusions, improving the purity of the target material, lowering the sintering
temperature and pressure, improving production efficiency, reducing
energy consumption, and extending the service life of the mold.
