Abstract:
A zirconium-doped aluminum powder metal and a method of making this powder metal are disclosed. The method of making includes forming an aluminum—zirconium melt in which a zirconium content of the aluminum—zirconium melt is less than 2.0 percent by weight. The aluminum—zirconium melt then powderized to form a zirconium-doped aluminum powder metal. The powderization may occur by, for example, air atomization.

Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method of fabricating an aluminum matrix composite by a simple process of heating a mixture of a ceramic reinforcing phase and aluminum in nitrogen containing atmosphere and an aluminum matrix composite fabricated by the same. The aluminum matrix composite may be fabricated by heating to temperatures even lower than the melting temperature of aluminum as well as to temperatures higher. The exothermic nitridation reaction contributes to the melting of the aluminum matrix and the aluminum nitride formed in-situ as a result may act as an additional reinforcing phase.
Abstract:
A reaction vessel for making phlegmatized metal powder or alloy powder has a retort crucible with a heat-proof, coolable cover, a heatable reduction furnace into which the retort crucible may be inserted, and an inner crucible placed within the retort crucible and removable therefrom. At least one inlet is built into the coolable cover for adding a passivating gas. A heat-proof flange welded onto the retort crucible attaches the retort crucible to the heat-proof, coolable cover. A cooler welded onto a lower face of the heat-proof flange provides a cooling agent to the reaction vessel.

Abstract:
A powder metallurgical method for fabricating a high-density soft magnetic metallic material comprises steps of providing an initial powder; using a spray drying process to fabricate the initial powder into a spray-dried powder; placing the spray-dried powder in a mold and compacting the spray-dried powder under a compacting pressure and a compacting temperature to form a green compact; and sintering the green compact at a sintering temperature to form a soft magnetic metallic material. The spray-dried powder, which is fabricated by the spray drying process, has superior flowability, compactability and compressibility and is suitable for the press-and-sinter process. The soft magnetic metallic material fabricated by the present invention is outstanding in sintered density and magnetic performance. The present invention adopts the inexpensive press-and-sinter process and has a low fabrication cost.
