Production Method of Molybdenum Carbide Mo2C Mo Powder ：

Direct carbonization method:

Molybdenum powder and carbon black are mixed in a certain proportion and heated to high temperatures in an inert gas or vacuum for direct carbonization. The key to this method is to control temperature and time to obtain molybdenum carbide with excellent properties. At the same time, in order to prevent deflagration and explosion, it is necessary to strictly control the ratio of carbon and molybdenum and the reaction conditions. Direct carbonization is one of the main methods for preparing molybdenum carbide in industry.

In the direct carbonization method, molybdenum powder and carbon black are mixed in a certain proportion to form a mixture. The mixture is then heated in an inert gas or vacuum to high temperatures, usually above 1500 ° C, for direct carbonization. At high temperatures, carbon black reacts with molybdenum powder to form molybdenum carbide. In order to obtain high-quality molybdenum carbide, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature and time, as well as the ratio of carbon and molybdenum.

Hydrogen carbide process:

Molybdenum powder is heated to high temperature with hydrogen and carbon black so that molybdenum reacts with hydrogen and carbon. This method can obtain high-purity molybdenum carbide but requires the use of high-purity hydrogen, so the cost is higher. At the same time, in order to prevent hydrogen explosions and air pollution, corresponding safety measures and environmental protection measures need to be taken.

In the hydrogen carbide process, molybdenum powder, hydrogen, and carbon black are mixed in a certain proportion to form a mixture. The mixture is then heated at high temperatures to above about 1000 ° C so that the molybdenum reacts with hydrogen and carbon. During the reaction, hydrogen can lower the reaction temperature and keep the carbon black in suspension. After the reaction, high-purity molybdenum carbide was obtained through cooling, separation, and post-treatment.

Chlorination reduction method:

Molybdate solution was chlorinated to obtain molybdenum chloride gas and then reduced with carbon at low temperature to produce molybdenum carbide. This method can obtain high-purity molybdenum carbide but requires the use of chlorination agents and reducing agents, so the cost is high. At the same time, in order to prevent chlorine gas leakage and air pollution, corresponding safety measures and environmental protection measures need to be taken.

In the chlorination reduction method, molybdate solution is chlorinated to obtain molybdenum chloride gas. Then, molybdenum carbide is formed by the reaction of molybdenum chloride gas with carbon black through a low-temperature reduction reaction. Reducing agents generally use hydrogen or other reducing gases, such as carbon monoxide. Chlorination agents are generally chlorine gas or hydrogen chloride. After chlorination reduction reaction, through cooling, separation, and post-treatment, high-purity molybdenum carbide is obtained.

Chemical vapor deposition method:

Molybdenum carbide coating is formed by the deposition of molybdenum compound and carbide raw material on a substrate by chemical reaction at high temperatures. This method can produce high purity, high density, and uniform structure of molybdenum carbide coating. Still, it needs to use a high-temperature furnace and other equipment, so the cost is high.

In chemical vapor deposition, molybdenum compounds and carbide raw materials are used as precursors to produce chemical reaction gases by heating or plasma excitation. These gases are deposited on the substrate surface and form a molybdenum carbide coating. In order to obtain a high-quality coating, parameters such as temperature, gas concentration, and deposition time need to be controlled. In addition, it is necessary to select the appropriate matrix material to adapt to different application requirements.
