Abstract
Abstract In the present work, ultrafine tungsten carbide (WC) powder with a high purity has been prepared by first roasting yellow tungsten trioxide (WO3) and carbon black powder under argon atmosphere followed by the further carbonization reaction with CH4-H2 mixed gases. The effects of C/WO3 molar ratio, CH4 percentage in the CH4-H2 mixed gases on the phase composition, morphology and particle size of the products were discussed. The results revealed that when the C/WO3 molar ratios were 2.5 and 2.6, nano tungsten carbide powder with the average particle sizes of 93 nm and 77 nm could be prepared. Whereas, when the C/WO3 molar ratio was in the range of 2.7–3.5, the finally prepared WC has the particle size of 446–192 nm, and became smaller with the increase of C/WO3 molar ratio. The percentage of CH4 should be
