  • LOW VELOCITY OXYGEN-FUELED FLAME SPRAY METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING FERRITE MATERIAL PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTS PRODUCED THEREBY
    Publication number: 20100183816
    Abstract: A method for making ferrite powder may include providing ferrite feed materials in a form of particles, such as having different sizes and irregular shapes. The method may further include exposing the ferrite feed materials to a low velocity oxygen-fueled (LVOF) flame spray. This may provide a more spherical shape to irregularly shaped particles to thereby make the ferrite powder. An apparatus for making ferrite powder may include a feeder for ferrite feed materials and a LVOF flame spray system for exposing the ferrite feed materials to the flame spray.

  • Method for making radiation absorbing material (RAM) and devices including same
    Patent number: 6890971
    Abstract: A method for making a radiation absorbing material (RAM) coating may include providing an iron-silicon alloy powder, forming the iron-silicon alloy powder into flakes, and passivating the flakes. The method may further include selecting passivated flakes having a desired size, and combining the selected passivated flakes with a carrier to provide the RAM coating. The coating may be applied to a substrate to impart the radiation absorbing property thereto.
