The α phase has one third of the electrical resistivity [29] and a much lower superconducting transition temperature T C relative to the β phase: ca. 0.015 K vs. 1–4 K; mixing the two phases allows obtaining intermediate T C values. [30] [31] The T C value can also be raised by alloying tungsten with another metal (e.g. 7.9 K for W-Tc). [32]
Tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC) is a chemical compound (specifically, a carbide) containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes through sintering [7] for use in industrial machinery, engineering facilities, [8] molding blocks, [9] cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor ...
Wolframite is an iron, manganese, and tungstate mineral with a chemical formula of (Fe,Mn)WO 4 that is the intermediate mineral between ferberite (Fe 2+ rich) and hübnerite (Mn 2+ rich). [4] Along with scheelite , the wolframite series are the most important tungsten ore minerals.
Scheelite is a calcium tungstate mineral with the chemical formula Ca W O 4. It is an important ore of tungsten (wolfram). Scheelite is originally named after Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786). Well-formed crystals are sought by collectors and are occasionally fashioned into gemstones when suitably free of flaws.
A 66 hp suction gas engine and belt-driven air compressor were erected at Leisner's Wolfram Block mine. [1] The advent of the Thermo Electric Ore Reduction Corporation of Britain sustained the Wolfram district through the war years with the government paying fixed prices. Mr F.C. Cann was General Manager and consulting engineer.
Tungsten(VI) fluoride, also known as tungsten hexafluoride, is an inorganic compound with the formula W F 6. It is a toxic, corrosive, colorless gas, with a density of about 13 kg/m 3 (22 lb/cu yd) (roughly 11 times heavier than air). [2] [3] It is the densest known gas under standard ambient temperature and pressure (298 K, 1 atm). [4]
Tungsten hexacarbonyl (also called tungsten carbonyl) is an organometallic compound with the formula W(CO) 6. This complex gave rise to the first example of a dihydrogen complex. [2] Like its chromium and molybdenum analogs, this colorless compound is noteworthy as a volatile, air-stable derivative of tungsten in its zero oxidation state.
Electrical resistivity increases with an increase in the percentage of tungsten present in the composite, ranging from 3.16 at 55% tungsten to 6.1 when the composite contains 90% tungsten. An increase in tungsten leads to an increase in ultimate tensile strength up until the alloy reaches 80% tungsten and 20% copper with an ultimate tensile ...
