Abstract:
A method for producing a metal structure comprising the following steps: providing a metal-coated polymer substrate; heating the metal-coated polymer substrate in a hot zone, in which a temperature of at least 600°C prevails and in which an atmosphere essentially composed of water vapor or of a mixture of water vapor and neutral gas is maintained, so as to remove the polymer substrate and form a metal structure; and cooling the metal structure in a cooling zone.
Abstract:
A powder for forming a R-Fe-B bonded magnet, wherein an R compound, such as an R oxide, an R carbide, an R nitride or an R hydride, which is contained in a raw material powder such as a super rapidly cooled powder or a hydrogen treated powder (HDDR powder) and reacts with water vapor to change into R(OH) 3 , has been converted to a R hydroxide R(OH) 3 being stable in the air by subjecting the raw material powder to a heat treatment in an atmosphere of a pressured water vapor. The powder for forming an R-Fe-B bonded magnet is free from the generation of a white powder in the surface of or inside a bonded magnet formed from the powder and accordingly, is free from the occurrence or cracking, chipping, swelling or the like in the bonded magnet caused by volume expansion of a white powder. Thus, the above powder can be used for preparing an R-Fe-B bonded magnet which is free from the white powder which has been observed in a conventional R-Fe-B bonded magnet in the use for a long period of time and is reduced in the occurrence of defects such as cracking, chipping, swelling and the like.
Abstract:
A method for making a sintered porous metal plate comprises the steps of: a slurry preparation step for preparing a foamable slurry containing metal powder; a shaping step for shaping the foamable slurry into a plate article; a foaming step for foaming the plate article; and a drying step for drying the plate article after foaming. Further, an apparatus for making a sintered porous metal plate comprises a slurry preparation section for preparing a foamable slurry containing at least metal powder, a foaming agent and a liquid medium; a shaping section for shaping the foamable slurry fed from the slurry preparation section into a plate article; a foaming section for foaming the plate article of the foamable slurry; and a drying section for drying the cellular article; and these section are integrated in series by a transfer section.

Abstract:
An iron or copper based metal powder useful for plasma deposition of a coating that has a dry coefficient of friction .75 or less and readily conducts heat through the coating. The powder comprises (a) H 2 O atomised and annealed particles consisting essentially of (by weight) carbon .15-.85%, oxygen .1-.45%, an air hardening agent selected from manganese and nickel of .1-6.5%, and the remainder iron or copper, with at least 90% of the particles having oxygen and iron or copper combined in the lowest atomic oxygen form for an oxide of such metal. A method of making anti-friction iron powder that is economical, selectively produces FeO and promotes fine flowable particles. The method comprises (a) steam atomisation of a molten steel that excludes other oxygen, the steel containing carbon up to .4% by weight to produce a collection of comminuted particles, and (b) annealing the particles in an air atmosphere for a period of time of .25-2.0 hours in a temperature range of 427-760°C (800°-1400°F) to reduce carbon in the particles to about .2% or sponge iron by reducing Fe 3 O 4 or Fe 2 O 3 in CO and (H 2 O steam) to attain nearly all iron with nearly all FeO and 0.1 to 0.85 C.
