Abstract:
Methods of forming dispersoid hardened metallic materials are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of producing dispersoid hardened metallic materials includes forming a starting composition with a base metal component and a dispersoid forming component. The starting composition includes the base metal component in an amount from about 50 to about 99.999 weight percent and the dispersoid forming component in an amount from about 0.001 to about 1 weight percent, based on the total weight of the starting composition. A starting powder is formed from the starting composition, and the starting powder is fluidized with a fluidizing gas for a period of time sufficient to oxidize the dispersoid forming component to form the dispersoid hardened metallic material. The dispersoid forming component is oxidized while the starting powder is a solid.

Abstract:
An article and method of forming the article are disclosed. The article has a surface comprising a nanostructured ferritic alloy. The surface includes a plurality of nanofeatures that include complex oxides of yttrium and titanium disposed in an iron-bearing alloy matrix. The iron-bearing alloy matrix at the surface includes about 5 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of chromium, and about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent of molybdenum. Further, a concentration of a chi phase or a sigma phase in the nanostructured ferritic alloy at the surface is less than about 5 volume percent. The method generally includes the steps of milling, thermo-mechanically consolidating, annealing, and then cooling at a rate that hinders the formation of chi and sigma phases in the nanostructured ferritic alloy at the surface.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a method for selective laser melting additive manufacturing a three-dimensional metallic or ceramic article/component entirely or partly. The method includes successively building up said article/component layer by layer directly from a powder bed of a metallic or ceramic base material by means of remelting the layers with a high energy laser beam, moving repetitively across the areas, which are to be solidified. The movement of the laser beam is made of a superposition of a continuous linear movement and at least one superimposed oscillation with a determined frequency and amplitude. The oscillation is created by a beam deflection device and the same beam deflection device is also used for linear positioning movement.

Abstract:
A sputtering target for a magnetic recording film containing SiO2, wherein a peak strength ratio of a (011) plane of quartz relative to a background strength (i.e. quartz peak strength/background strength) in an X-ray diffraction is 1.40 or more. An object of this invention is to obtain a sputtering target for a magnetic recording film capable of inhibiting the formation of cristobalites in the target which cause the generation of particles during sputtering, shortening the burn-in time, magnetically and finely separating the single-domain particles after deposition, and improving the recording density.

Abstract:
A ferromagnetic material sputtering target which is a sintered compact sputtering target made of a metal having Co as its main component, and nonmetallic inorganic material particles, wherein a plurality of metal phases having different saturated magnetization exist, and the nonmetallic inorganic material particles are dispersed in the respective metal phases. By increasing the pass-through flux of the sputtering target, it is possible to obtain a stable discharge. Moreover, it is also possible to obtain a ferromagnetic material sputtering target capable of obtaining a stable discharge in a magnetron sputtering device and which has a low generation of particles during sputtering. Thus, this invention aims to provide a ferromagnetic material sputtering target for use in the deposition of a magnetic thin film of a magnetic recording medium, and particularly of a magnetic recording layer of a hard disk adopting the perpendicular magnetic recording system.
