摘要:
A method for producing agglomerated tantalum particles, comprising: a step for grinding secondary tantalum particles, which are obtained by reducing a tantalum salt, and adding water thereto to give a water-containing mass; a step for drying said water-containing mass to give a dry mass; a step for sieving said dry mass to give spherical particles; and a step for heating said spherical particles. A mixed tantalum powder comprising a mixture of agglomerated tantalum particles (X) with agglomerated tantalum particles (Y), wherein said agglomerated tantalum particles (X) show a cumulative percentage of particles with particle size of 3 μm or less of 5 mass % or less after 25 W ultrasonic radiation for 10 min, while said agglomerated tantalum particles (Y) show a cumulative percentage of particles with particle size of 3 μm or less of 10 mass % or more after 25 W ultrasonic radiation for 10 min.

The method includes the use of a spray dryer that includes a rotating atomizer disk to form agglomerated powder and the method further includes a heat treatment step. Capacitor grade powder formed by the methods of the present invention are further described.
摘要:
A method of making sputter targets using rotary axial forging is described. Other thermomechanical working steps can be used prior to and/or after the forging step. Sputter targets are further described which can have unique grain size and/or crystal structures.
摘要:
Methods of making a ternary oxide and a perovskite-related ternary oxide structure are described. The methods include reacting a binary oxide with a metal oxide or a metal hydroxide to form a ternary oxide dielectric layer on a substrate. Powders, anodes, pressed articles, and capacitors including the ternary oxide or perovskite-related ternary oxide structure as a dielectric layer or other layers are further described.
摘要:
Extruded tantalum billets and niobium billets are described having a substantially uniform grain size and preferably an average grain size of about 150 microns or less and more preferably an average grain size of about 100 microns or less. The extruded billet can then be forged or processed by other conventional techniques to form end use products such as sputtering targets. A process for making the extruded tantalum billets or niobium billets is also described and involves extruding a starting billet at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to at least partially recrystallize the billet and form the extruded billet of the present invention.
