Abstract:
The invention concerns a low pressure process for the preparation of an iron-based, optionally alloyed powder comprising the steps of preparing a raw powder essentially consisting of iron and optionally at least one alloying element selected from the group consisting of chromium, manganese, copper, nickel, vanadium, niobium, boron, silicon, molybdenum and tungsten; charging a gas tight furnace with the powder in an essentially inert gas atmosphere and closing the furnace; increasing the furnace temperature; monitoring the increase of the formation of CO gas and evacuating gas from the furnace when a significant increase of the CO formation is observed and cooling the powder when the increase of the formation of CO gas diminishes.
Abstract:
A tough and heat resisting aluminum alloy comprising aluminum, a transition metal element and a rare earth element, and having a modulated structure which comprises an aluminum matrix and an intermetallic compound precipitated to form a network in the aluminum matrix. Also disclosed in a process for producing the aluminum alloy which comprises the steps of: rapid quenching and solidifying a liquid aluminum alloy at a quenching rate of 10 2 to 10 5 K/sec to obtain an aluminum-based supersaturated solid solution; and heat treating the quenched aluminum-based supersaturated solid solution at a heat treating temperature of 473 K or higher, the temperature increasing rate to the heat treating temperature being 1.5 K/sec or higher.

Abstract:
Bei einem vorteilhaften Verfahren zur Herstellung pulverförmiger Aluminiumlegierungen, die eine katalytische Wirkung aufweisen oder als Vorläufer von Katalysatoren dienen können, werden gute Ergebnisse erhalten, wenn man die Legierung bei einer Temperatur von 50 bis 500°C über ihrem Schmelzpunkt mit Wasser und/oder einem Gas verdüst und anschließend abkühlt.
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.

Abstract:
There are provided reactive metal powder atomization manufacturing processes. For example, such processes include providing a heated metal source and contact the heated metal source with at least one additive gas while carrying out the atomization process. Such processes provide raw reactive metal powder having improved flowability. The at least one additive gas can be mixed together with an atomization gas to obtain an atomization mixture, and the heated metal source can be contacted with the atomization mixture while carrying out the atomization process. Reactive metal powder spheroidization manufacturing processes are also provided.
