摘要:
A process is disclosed for producing a sheet of tungsten heavy alloy which comprises forming metal particles of the alloy wherein each metal particle is a uniform admixture of the alloy components, entraining the particles in a carrier gas, passing the particles and the carrier gas into a high temperature zone at a temperature above the melting point of the matrix phase of the particles and maintaining the particles in the zone for a sufficient time to melt at least the matrix phase of the particles and form spherical particles, followed by rapidly and directly solidifying the high temperature treated material while the material is in flight. A slurry is formed of this high temperature treated material and a liquid medium, the liquid medium is removed from the material and a planar cake is formed of the material, the cake is dried, and sintered to a density equal to or greater than about 90% of the theoretical density of the alloy to form the sheet.

A powdered material and a process for producing the material are disclosed. The powdered material consists essentially of titanium based spherical particles which are essentially free of elliptical shaped material and elongated particles having rounded ends. The material has a particle size of less than about 50 micrometers. The process for making the spherical particles involves mechanically reducing the size of a starting material to produce a finer powder which is then entrained in a carrier gas and passed through a high temperature zone above the melting point of the finer powder to melt at least about 50% by weight of the powder and form spherical particles of the melted portion. The powder is then directly solidified.

A powder material and a process for producing the material are disclosed. The powder material consists essentially of iron group based and chromium based spherical particles. The material is essentially free of elliptical shaped material and elongated particles having rounded ends. The material has a particle size of less than about 20 micrometers in diameter and has an oxygen content of less than about 0.8% by weight. The process for making the spherical particles involves reducing the size of a starting material to produce a finer powder essentially all of which has a particle size of less than about 20 micrometers in diameter. This is done by fluid energy milling. The finer powder is entrained in a carrier gas and passed through a high temperature zone at a temperature above the melting point of the powder, the temperature being from about 5500.degree. C. to about 17,000.degree. C. and created by a plasma jet, to melt at least about 50% by weight of the powder and form the spherical particles of the melted portion. The powder is then rapidly and directly solidified while in flight. The carbon content of the spherical particles is no greater than the carbon content of the starting material.
