HSDB 2932 - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
with tungsten and carbon as raw materials, tungsten powder with an average particle size of 3-5uM and carbon black in an equal amount are dry mixed with a ball mill, after pressure molding, the graphite pan is placed in the graphite pan, and the graphite pan is heated to 1400 to 1700 ° C., preferably 1550 to 1650 ° C. In a graphite resistance furnace or an induction furnace. In the hydrogen stream, W2C is initially generated and the reaction continues at elevated temperatures to form wc. Or first put the six carbonyl tungsten [W(CO).] Tungsten powder was prepared by thermal decomposition at 650~1000 ℃ in CO atmosphere, and then reacted with carbon monoxide at 1150 ℃ to obtain wc. W2 C can be generated at a temperature higher than this temperature.

HSDB 2932 - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
exposure to tungsten carbide dust can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, renal irritation, and upper respiratory tract inflammation. Tungsten carbide causes a proliferative response of the lymphoid tissue cells of the lung, with progressive sclerosis. The maximum allowable concentration of tungsten carbide is 6mg/m3. In the United States, the maximum allowable concentration of the soluble tungsten compound (in terms of tungsten) is 1 mg/m3, and the insoluble tungsten compound (in terms of tungsten) is 5mg/m3. Staff should be protected to prevent dust leakage. Products should be stored in a cool, dry warehouse, transport should pay attention to the packaging containers in good condition, anti-rain and anti-sun exposure.
