Nanopowders of metals, alloys and other chemical compounds
Nanopowders of metals, alloys and other chemical compounds produced by the method of electrical explosion of the conductor.
Using the specific properties of nanoparticles can significantly change the properties of particulates and macrostructures, to give a completely different, not the usual properties of substances, solids. For example, to create a new metal compounds, alloys, to improve the characteristics of the usual materials, is only adding a certain amount of nanoparticles, which will fundamentally change the lattice structure or on the physico-mechanical properties of materials.
The use of nanopowders of metals, etc., produced by the method of EVP
Description:
Nanopowder is a solid powdery substance synthetic origin, nanoparticles, aggregates or agglomerates of nanoparticles or a mixture thereof, it is a powder, the size of all particles is less than 100 nm. Accordingly, artificially obtained nanopowders of metals, alloys and other chemical compounds (oxides and nitrides of metals).
Using the specific properties of nanoparticles can significantly change the properties of particulates and macrostructures, to give a completely different, not the usual properties of substances, solids. For example, to create a new metal compounds, alloys, to improve the characteristics of the usual materials, is only adding a certain amount of nanoparticles, which will fundamentally change the lattice structure or on the physico-mechanical properties of materials.
Nanopowders of metals, alloys and chemical compounds (oxides and nitrides of metals) produced by the method of electrical explosion of wire (EEW) have unique properties:
– high chemicalactivity,
– weak agglomeration,
– the ability to control particle size distribution,
– the release of energy that is not associated with the occurrence of chemical processes in the sintering of powders,
– powders obtained under certain conditions, is implemented by the block structure of the nanoparticles, i.e. the nanoparticles are composed of individual blocks with dimensions of 3-10 nm (when a chemical reaction specific surface area increases on the order),
– the possibility of synthesis of multicomponent nanoparticles of metals with different thermophysical properties (e.g., Al-Fe, Zn-Ni, Zn-si), which allows to synthesize particles with a specified phase composition and tasks of the practice.
