Abstract: The influence of phase components of tungsten oxide on homogeneity of ultrafine tungsten powder by conventional hydrogen reduction techniques was studied. Results show that phase components of tungsten oxide play a crucial role on homogeneity of metal tungsten powder; ultrafine and homogeneous tungsten powder can be produced from oxides which consist of only one phase. Due to the different reduction rates (or different reduction paths) of oxide which com-
prises different phases, the multi-phase components tungsten oxide leads to a fine but in homogeneous metal tungsten powder.
