The invention discloses micron-sized porous
tungsten and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
porous metal materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: micron-sized pore-forming agent NaCl obtained through ball milling breaking,
tungsten powder and an organic additive are added to an
organic solvent for ball milling and tape-
casting slurry is obtained, and after the
slurry is subjected to
tape casting, a thin strip is formed and is
cut into the specific shape; the thin strips are laminated and then are put in a mould, low-temperature heat treatment rubber discharging is carried out in a vacuum, and then low-temperature
hot pressing sintering is carried out in a vacuum and a
green body is obtained; and the
green body is placed in flowing deionized water for removing the pore-forming agent, the
green body is put in a
vacuum drying oven for
drying and a porous
tungsten green body is obtained, and the porous tungsten green body is subjected to high-temperature
sintering at Ar
atmosphere and the micron-sized porous tungsten is obtained. The density of the prepared porous tungsten is 35-90%, the pore diameters of large pores are 3-6 micrometers, the pore diameters of small pores are 0.1-0.7
micrometer, and the porous tungsten has the advantages that the
pore distribution is uniform, the pore size is controllable, the
porosity factor variation range is large, and the
sintering temperature is lowered obviously.
