The method comprises the following steps: - providing the at least one metal phase in the form of powders of pre-alloyed metal material; - providing the at least one ceramic phase in the form of powders of ceramic material; - mixing the powders of the at least one metal phase and of the at least one ceramic phase; and - sintering the mixed powders for a time interval of between 10 -4 s and 60 s, wherein one or more metal phases have a coefficient of thermal expansion of between 0 K -1 and 6·10 -6 K -1 .
Abstract:
There are provided a permanent magnet and a manufacturing method thereof enabling carbon content contained in magnet particles to be reduced in advance before sintering even when wet milling is employed. Coarsely-milled magnet powder is further milled by a bead mill in a solvent together with an organometallic compound expressed with a structural formula of M-(OR) x (M includes at least one of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, each being a rare earth element, R represents a substituent group consisting of a straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon, x represents an arbitrary integer) so as to uniformly adhere the organometallic compound to particle surfaces of the magnet powder. Thereafter, a compact body of compacted magnet powder is held for several hours in hydrogen atmosphere at 200 through 900 degrees Celsius to perform hydrogen calcination process. Thereafter, through sintering process, a permanent magnet 1 is manufactured.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a metal-matrix composite of significant ΔCTE between the hard base-metal and the soft matrix. The process includes the steps of sintering, pressing and enforced infiltration of the metal-matrix composite compact acting wherein the process is driven by differential thermal expansion coefficients between shell and core materials.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of semi-finished or finished parts made of a molybdenum alloy with intermetallic phase parts, preferably molybdenum silicide, molybdenum boron silicide, selectively also molybdenum boride, phases. The heat compacted material, starting from a mechanically alloyed powder, exhibits superplastic forming behavior. It is thus possible to reduce the forming temperature by at least 300 °C, wherein processing is possible on conventional systems.
