  • Publication number: 20130292168
    Abstract: The invention relates to a starter material for a sintering compound, said starter material comprising particles which at least proportionally contain an organic metal compound and/or a precious metal oxide, the organic metal compound and/or the precious metal oxide being converted during heat treatment of the starter material into the elemental metal and/or precious metal. The invention is characterized in that the particles have a coating containing a reducing agent by means of which the organic metal compound and/or precious metal oxide is reduced to the elemental metal and/or precious metal at a temperature below the sintering temperature of the elemental metal and/or precious metal.
