This invention discloses a method for micro-oxidation and
coating treatment of
tungsten copper powder surface to inhibit
polyoxymethylene (POM)
decomposition, relating to the fields of
powder metallurgy and
metal powder surface modification technology. This method involves particle size classification, followed by pulsed weak oxidation and
oxygen plasma doping treatments to passivate the catalytic activity of conventional
tungsten copper powder. Nano-sized
tungsten copper powder is then organically coated to form a
formaldehyde-capturing layer. Finally, the two modified powders are compounded with a POM matrix, synergistically inhibiting POM
decomposition through multiple mechanisms to obtain a stable feedstock suitable for injection molding. This invention reduces the catalytic activity of conventional tungsten copper powder through surface
passivation and
zirconium doping, and endows the nano-powder with
formaldehyde-capturing capabilities through organic
coating. The two work synergistically in the feedstock process, blocking the catalytic reaction pathway between the
metal and the POM matrix while eliminating
decomposition products, thus improving the
processing stability of the feedstock and the product lifespan. This provides a new path for the development of high-performance tungsten copper feedstocks.
