Abstract: A passivation method for high specific volume tantalum powder with a specific volume of 100 000 μF·V/g and above after high temperature heat treatment and the design of a strong cooling device were introduced. Through rapid cooling technology, the strong cooling device significantly improves the production efficiency of tantalum powder, and avoids potential pollution of tantalum powder by volatiles in the furnace, ensuring the purity of the product. In addition, a three-step passivation technology was proposed, including primary passivation, secondary passivation and final passivation. This method can effectively solve the problem of heat retention caused by the reaction of oxygen-containing gas with tantalum powder in the passivation process, avoid the high oxygen caused by the temperature rise of tantalum metal powder, realize the fully stable passivation of tantalum powder, shorten the processing time, and do not introduce additional pollution. It has high practical value.

Key words: tantalum powder, heat treatment, passivation, forced cooling device, process optimization
