A hard composite composition may comprise a binder and a polymodal blend of matrix powder. The polymodal blend of matrix powder may have at least one first local maxima at a particle size of about 0.5 nm to about 30 μm, at least one second local maxima at a particle size of about 200 μm to about 10 mm, and at least one local minima between a particle size of about 30 μm to about 200 μm that has a value that is less than the first local maxima.
摘要:
A composition includes a metal alloy matrix comprising iron and a plurality of nanoparticles dispersed within the metal alloy matrix. Each nanoparticle of the plurality comprises an oxide of a rare-earth metal and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of tantalum, niobium, vanadium, and titanium. Some compositions include a metal alloy matrix comprising iron and a plurality of nanoparticles comprising at least two different oxides of rare-earth metals dispersed within the metal alloy matrix. Some methods include mixing an oxide of a rare-earth metal with a first metal and a second metal. Other methods include mixing a plurality of particles comprising at least one oxide of a rare-earth metal with a molten metal comprising iron. Each particle of the plurality may exhibit a density between about 6.9 g/cm3 and about 9.0 g/cm3.

An iron-based sintered body includes a metal matrix and complex oxide particles contained in the metal matrix. When a main viewing field having an area of 176 μm×226 μm is taken on a cross section of the iron-based sintered body and divided into a 5×5 array of 25 viewing fields each having an area of 35.2 μm×45.2 μm, the complex oxide particles have an average equivalent circle diameter of from 0.3 μm to 2.5 μm inclusive, and a value obtained by dividing the total area of the 25 viewing fields by the total number of complex oxide particles present in the 25 viewing fields is from 10 μm2/particle to 1,000 μm2/particle inclusive. The number of viewing fields in which no complex oxide particle is present is 4 or less out of the 25 viewing fields.
摘要:
A sputtering target containing, as metal components, 0.5 to 45 mol % of Cr and remainder being Co, and containing, as non-metal components, two or more types of oxides including Ti oxide, wherein a structure of the sputtering target is configured from regions where oxides including at least Ti oxide are dispersed in Co (non-Cr-based regions), and a region where oxides other than Ti oxide are dispersed in Cr or Co—Cr (Cr-based region), and the non-Cr-based regions are scattered in the Cr-based region. An object of this invention is to provide a sputtering target for forming a granular film which suppresses the formation of coarse complex oxide grains and generates fewer particles during sputtering.
