PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of manufacturing a bottomed cylindrical sintered body having high formability, an outer circumference of about 3.0 mm or smaller, that is, a small diameter, and a thickness of about 0.1 to 0.3 mm at low cost.SOLUTION: The method sequentially includes: a raw material-preparing step of preparing a raw material by adding 40 to 60 vol.% of binder including thermoplastic resin and wax to metal powder and then heating and kneading it; a filling step of filling a die hole of a press-molding die with a predetermined amount of the raw material; a pressurizing/molding step of molding the raw material in the press-molding die into a shape of a cup by pressurizing the raw material in a vertical direction using a punch; an extracting step of extracting a cup-shaped compact obtained after the pressurizing/molding step; a de-binder step of removing the binder by heating the extracted cup-shaped compact; and a sintering step of diffusing and bonding the powder by heating the cup-shaped compact from which the binder is removed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hardmetal compositions, their fabrication methods and associated applications. SOLUTION: In the hardmetal compositions, each including hard particles having a first material and a binder matrix having a second, different material comprising rhenium or a Ni-based superalloy. A two-step sintering process may be used to fabricate such hardmetals at relatively low sintering temperatures in the solid-state phase to produce substantially fully-densified hardmetals.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing noble metal fine particles, by which noble metal fine particles are obtained whose particle diameter and alloy composition are easy to control and whose crystallinity and purity are high. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing noble metal fine particles includes the steps of: (1) obtaining a molten mixture containing a noble metal chloride, by insufflating chlorine gas into a mixture of a molten salt of an alkali metal chloride and a noble metal; (2) obtaining a noble metal oxide as a precipitate by adding an alkali metal carbonate to the molten mixture under an inert gas atmosphere; (3) obtaining a mixture containing noble metal oxide fine particles, by pulverizing the noble metal oxide with at least one of an alkali metal carbonate and an alkali earth metal carbonate; and (4) obtaining noble metal fine particles by heating the mixture obtained in the step (3), in an atmosphere of gas containing hydrogen, and then treating the heat-treated mixture with acid.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a conventional problem that, although cemented carbide is a high hardness and high toughness material and various trace elements including vanadium carbide (VC) are added to bring out its performances, the grain size of a raw material prepared by pulverizing a carbide become large when the vanadium carbide (VC) is used and, as a result, uniform improvement of properties in a product cannot be done. SOLUTION: One of component materials of a stock for a tool, such as a hob, is replaced from a carbide to vanadium trioxide (V 2 O 3 ) as an oxide. Since vanadium oxide is softer than vanadium carbide, vanadium oxide can be easily reduced in particle size in a mixing step using a ball mill in the course of raw material blending. The hardness of cemented carbide after sintering can hereby be increased by the effect of the vanadium trioxide uniformly dispersed in the raw material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
Hardmetal compositions each including hard particles having a first material and a binder matrix having a second, different material comprising rhenium or a Ni-based superalloy. Tungsten may also be used a binder matrix material. A two-step sintering process may be used to fabricate such hardmetals at relatively low sintering temperatures in the solid-state phase to produce substantially fully-densified hardmetals. A hardmetal coating or structure may be formed on a surface by using a thermal spray method.
