Abstract
A method for finely powdering tungsten powder, which includes: a process for classifying a material tungsten powder into a fine powder having a relatively small average particle diameter and a coarse powder having a relatively large average particle diameter; an oxidation process for forming an oxide film on the particle surface of the coarse powder; and an alkali treatment process for removing the oxide film formed in the oxidation process and a natural oxide film formed on the fine powder with an alkali aqueous solution. Also disclosed is a method for producing ultrafine tungsten powder, which includes obtaining tungsten powder having an average particle diameter of 0.04 to 0.4 μm and a BET specific surface area of 5 to 15 m/g by the above method for finely powdering.
