84% yellow tungsten oxide may be used to produce high quality ultrafine tungsten carbide (WC) powder by carbonization method. The producing processes are shown as follows: 1. Mix yellow tungsten oxide (mass fraction of 84%) and carbon (mass fraction of 16%) by mixer, and granulate to particle (grain size of 3mm) by granulator, then dry and mixed material is obtained. 2. Move material to the rotary furnace for continuous reduction/carbonization, the original material changes during the reaction: WO3→WO2.9→WO2.72→WO2.0→W→W2C→WC WO3 was…
