Abstract:
A method is described for preparing metal ink for additive manufacturing based on photo-thermal synergistic curing, relating to functional ink technology. The ink includes 50%-95% metal powder, 1%-35% photosensitive resin, 1%-35% photosensitive monomer, 0.1%-7% photoinitiator, 0.1%-5% thermal initiator, 0.1%-5% up-conversion material, and 0%-2% auxiliary agent. The method includes adding metal ink to the ink tank of a direct ink writing 3D printer, extruding the metal ink from the nozzle under computer control to the printing specific shapes on the platform, and curing under real-time illumination of a specific light source to obtain the green body. The method includes performing high-temperature debinding treatment on the obtained green body in a specific atmosphere. The treated green body is subjected to a high-temperature and high-pressure sintering treatment in a specific atmosphere and then cooled to room temperature.
Abstract:
A method produces tantalum powder by reducing tantalum oxide with an alkaline earth metal. The method includes (1) mixing tantalum oxide with an excessive alkaline earth metal reducing agent, simultaneously mixing at least one alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal halide accounting for 10-200% of the weight of the tantalum oxide, heating the mixture to a temperature of 700-1200° C. in a furnace filled with inert gas, and soaking so that the tantalum oxide and reducing agent are subjected to a reduction reaction; (2) at the end of soaking, lowering the temperature to 600-800° C., vacuumizing the interior of the furnace to 10 Pa or less, and soaking under the negative pressure so that the excessive magnesium and tantalum powder mixture are separated; (3) thereafter, raising the temperature of the furnace to 750-1200° C. in the presence of inert gas, and soaking so that the tantalum powder is further sintered in the molten salt; (4) then cooling to room temperature and passivating to obtain a mixed material containing halide and tantalum powder; and (5) separating the tantalum powder from the mixture.

Abstract:
An R-T-B permanent magnet that contains: main-phase grains composed of an R2T14B compound (where R is a rare earth element, T is a transition metal element, and B is boron); and grain boundaries. R includes Ce. The R-T-B permanent magnet has a Ce content of 15-35 mass % with respect to the total R content. The grain boundaries include an R-rich phase and an R-T phase. In a cross section of the R-T-B permanent magnet, the surface area ratio S(R-T) of the R-T phases with respect to the grain boundaries is 0.60-0.85.
