Abstract:
A copper-tungsten mixture net-shaped product produced using powder metallurgical techniques with injection molding and liquid phase sintering. The product has a very low leak rate in helium gas, a high thermal conductivity and a rate of thermal expansion which is substantially the same as some glass and ceramic materials.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for removing binder from "green" bodies wherein binder removed takes place substantially uniformly throughout the system for large load as well as for small loads. This result is obtained by providing several shelves for holding the green bodies and providing turbulent atmosphere flow across all shelves with recirculation taking place over a water fall in the system to provide both a water saturated atmosphere and removal of binder from the atmosphere and system simultaneously.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a feedstock of particulate material for use in formation of articles therefrom, the feedstock including a homogeneous combination of large particles, small particles and a binder. The large particles comprise less than about 60% by volume of the feedstock and are defined as particles having a diameter greater than their diffusion length. The fine particles and binder combined comprise more than about 40% by volume of the feedstock, the fine particles being defined as particles having a diameter less than their diffusion length.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method of rapidly removing binder from a "green" body composed of fine metal, cermet or ceramic particles and a carbon-containing binder wherein the binder removal step is performed in a water saturated atmosphere to provide chemical reaction with elemental carbon, the reaction products being removed from the system.
