Definitions

  • the present invention relates to molybdenum metal powder with a shell made of oxides of molybdenum and methods for its production.
  • Molybdenum metal powders with a defined oxygen content are used in plasma spraying in order to achieve particularly hard spray coatings.
  • Flame spraying with an ethine / oxygen mixture is preferably carried out using molybdenum wire as the melting material.
  • the metal droplets are partially oxidized during flame spraying.
  • a method for producing oxygen-containing molybdenum powder by an oxidizing plasma treatment is known from US Pat. No. 4,146,388.
  • EP-A 233 574 describes three processes for producing oxygen-containing molybdenum wettable powders. These are the treatment of molybdenum metal with dilute hydrogen peroxide solution, the thermal treatment of molybdenum metal powder with water vapor under an inert gas atmosphere and the production of agglomerated oxygen-containing molybdenum metal powder using molybdenum oxides.
  • a disadvantage of the molybdenum powders thus produced is that their oxygen content is not precisely defined.
  • these molybdenum metal powders are often inhomogeneous.
  • these molybdenum metal powders often have a MoO3 content, which has a disadvantageous effect on the spray behavior of the powder.
  • the object of the present compound is to provide a molybdenum metal powder with a defined oxygen content which does not have the disadvantages described.
  • the molybdenum metal powder according to the invention has an oxygen content of 1 to 18, preferably 2 to 12,% by weight.
  • the oxygen is in a defined form as MoO2 and is in particular on the surface as a homogeneous layer. This oxide layer adheres firmly to the metallic core, so that the molybdenum metal powder according to the invention has very special structural properties.
  • the powder grains consist of a molybdenum metal core and a uniform, closed MoO2 layer.
  • the average diameter of the molybdenum metal powder individual grains is 5 to 90 microns and the thickness of the MoO2 shell 0.1 to 20 microns.
  • the surface of the partially oxidized molybdenum metal powder according to the invention shows a typical MoO2 color.
  • SEM scanning electron microscope
  • the present invention also relates to a method for producing the molybdenum metal powder according to the invention. Surprisingly, this can be carried out in a very controllable oxidation of the molybdenum metal powder under a carbon dioxide atmosphere at unexpectedly low temperatures.
  • the subject of this invention is thus a process for the production of molybdenum metal powder with a defined oxygen content, whereby molybdenum metal powder is partially oxidized by thermal treatment in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at temperatures below 1200 ° C.
  • the partial oxidation is preferably carried out at temperatures from 700 to 1200 ° C.
  • the oxygen uptake in the molybdenum metal powder is carried out by the process according to the invention exclusively with the formation of MoO2, which can be demonstrated by X-ray diffraction. An equivalent amount of carbon monoxide is released in the reaction.
  • the weight increase in the starting powder is limited to 12% by weight.
  • the increase in the particle diameter of the individual molybdenum metal particles corresponds to the oxygen uptake and the associated change in density.
  • the oxygen loading of the molybdenum metal powder is inversely proportional to its surface. Preselected oxygen levels can be set with great accuracy using the parameters mentioned.
  • the oxygen content of the molybdenum metal powder is set by the choice of the reaction time and / or the reaction temperature and / or the carbon dioxide concentration in the gas atmosphere. This is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows the dependence of the oxygen uptake of a molybdenum metal powder on the carbon dioxide volume flow and the time of constant temperature, measured by the CO2 / CO content in the exhaust gas.
  • a grain coarsening occurs due to the oxygen absorption of the molybdenum metal powder, the density of the powder decreases.
  • This invention therefore also relates to the use of the molybdenum metal powder according to one or more of claims 1 to 6 as molybdenum wettable powder.
  • 800 g of a molybdenum metal powder with a grain size of> 5 ⁇ m and ⁇ 45 ⁇ m are gassed in a tube furnace with 20 l / h of carbon dioxide and heated to 900 ° C.
  • the oxygen content of the metal powder is 3.6% by weight, after 2 hours reaction time 4.6% by weight, after 3 hours reaction time 5.5% by weight.
