Understanding Particle Size and Its Impact

Particle size is a critical property of tungsten powder, significantly influencing the performance of the final product. Tungsten powder, available in a range of particle sizes, from submicron to hundreds of microns, finds applications in various industries, including metal cutting, electronics, and aerospace.

The Role of Particle Size

• Density: Smaller particle sizes generally lead to higher densities in sintered tungsten carbide products.
• Densification Rate: Particle size impacts the rate at which tungsten powder densifies during the sintering process.
• Hardness: Finer particle sizes typically result in harder sintered components.
• Sintering Process: Smaller particles may require higher sintering temperatures and pressures to achieve desired densities.

Measuring Particle Size: The Fisher Sub-Sieve Sizer

Historically, the Fisher Sub-Sieve Sizer (FSSS) has been the industry standard for measuring particle size. The instrument, based on air permeability, provides a reliable and affordable method for determining the average particle size of powders.

However, traditional FSSS instruments have limitations:

• Manual Data Entry: Prone to human error and time-consuming.
• Subjective Reading: Reliance on visual interpretation of measurement results can lead to inaccuracies.
• Lack of Digital Integration: Difficulty in integrating with modern laboratory equipment and software.

The Evolution of FSSS

To address these limitations, we've developed the WLP-216, a cutting-edge automatic instrument that offers several advantages:

• Automated Measurements: Eliminates human error and improves efficiency.
• Digital Readout: Provides accurate and precise results directly on a digital display.
• Data Logging and Printing: Easily save and print measurement data for future reference.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design for seamless operation.

By utilizing it, you can ensure precise particle size measurement, improve product quality, and optimize your production processes.
