This study demonstrates the synthesis of fine hafnium metal powders using a chemically activated combustion synthesis approach, and characterizes the structure, compositional uniformity, and particle size. The mechanism of Hf particle formation is explained by analyzing process thermodynamics, and various analytical methods are used to characterize the synthesized Hf powders. Theoretical analysis is also conducted to predict the oxygen content based on Hf particle size.
The present study demonstrates the synthesis of fine hafnium (Hf) metal powders via a chemically activated combustion synthesis (CS) approach, which develops temperatures in the range of 1000-1600 degrees C. The current CS approach can be employed to obtain Hf powders with a single-crystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure in addition to high compositional uniformity and average particle sizes ranging from 0.05 to 2.0 mu m. The mechanism of Hf particle formation can be understood by analyzing the process thermodynamics, including adiabatic temperatures and equilibrium reaction phases. In addition, analytical methods, including X-ray diffraction, SEM/TEM BET, FTIR, and oxygen analysis, were employed to characterize the synthesized Hf powders. Theoretical analysis was also conducted to predict the oxygen content according to Hf particle size. To the author's best knowledge, this work is the first known report demonstrating the preparation of hafnium microand nanopowders by the combustion synthesis method.
