Abstract:
Provided are palladium-containing powders and a method and apparatus for manufacturing the palladium-containing particles of high quality, of a small size and narrow size distribution. An aerosol is generated from liquid feed and sent to a furnace, where liquid in droplets in the aerosol is vaporized to permit formation of the desired particles, which are then collected in a particle collector. The aerosol generation involves preparation of a high quality aerosol, with a narrow droplet size distribution, with close control over droplet size and with a high droplet loading suitable for commercial applications. Powders may have high resistance to oxidation of palladium. Multi-phase particles are provided including a palladium-containing metallic phase and a second phase that is dielectric. Electronic components are provided manufacturable using the powders.

A method of manufacturing a sintered body includes a first process of forming a metal powder containing carbon into a compact having a predetermined shape and a second process of baking the compact in a hermetically sealed space so as to produce a sintered body. The hermetically sealed space has an atmosphere having a pressure of 60 kPa to 140 kPa and contains a hydrogen gas and an oxygen gas. The sum of partial pressures of the hydrogen gas and the oxygen gas is not more than 3 Pa.
Abstract:
Glycerol is used as a solvent medium for the precipitation of a complex of nickel and glycerol material. The precipitate is separated from the liquid solvent and dried and calcined in air to produce small (nanometer size) particles characterized by a nickel core encased in a nickel oxide shell. The proportions of nickel core and nickel oxide shell can be controlled by management of the time and temperature of heating in air. Prolonged heating in air can produce nickel oxide particles, or calcining of the precipitate in nitrogen produces nickel particles.
Abstract:
Suppression or enhancement of various properties of a liquid fluid is aimed by improving uniform dispersion of nanoparticles by means of making a state in which no oxidized film exists on the surfaces of the nanoparticles to be dispersed in the liquid fluid. The location of the liquid fluid is confirmed with ease by enhancing the brightness of light emission of the fluid through uniform dispersion of the nanoparticles in the liquid fluid containing a material having a flame reaction. In this way, as to liquid fluids utilized in various industries, it is possible to offer a technology to desirably enhance or suppress a property desired to be enhanced and a property desired to be suppressed among various properties that its constituents have.

A die comprises metal-rich sections which form an inner wall and an outer wall of the die, respectively. Gradient sections are disposed adjacent to the metal-rich sections, respectively. Further, a ceramics-rich section is disposed between the gradient sections. A punch comprises an inner ceramics-rich section, a gradient section, and an outer metal-rich section. In the die, the composition ratio of metal gradually decreases from the metal-rich sections to the ceramics-rich section. Similarly, in the punch, the composition ratio of the metal gradually decreases from the metal-rich section to the ceramics-rich section.
Abstract:
The present invention provides metal powder compositions for pressed powder metallurgy and methods of forming metal parts using the metal powder compositions. In one embodiment, the metal powder composition according to the invention includes a blend of primary metal particles, one or more liquid phase forming materials or precursors thereof, a lubricant and an organic acid that is capable of reacting with an oxide of a metal in the primary metal particles to form an organic metal salt that decomposes when the metal powder composition is sintered under reducing or non-oxidizing conditions. During a “delubing” step, the organic acid reacts with an oxide of a metal in the primary metal particles to form an organic metal salt that decomposes into a base metal or a metal-carbide during sintering.
