Abstract: The invention relates to novel pre-alloyed metal powders a method for production and use thereof.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a formulation containing at least one hard material powder and at least 2 binder metal powders. The formulation is characterized in that the cobalt is completely contained in the first binder metal powder and is prealloyed with one or more elements of groups 3 to 8 of the Periodic Table of the Elements which are elements of the fourth period and at least one further binder metal powder from the group consisting of powders of the elements Fe, Ni, Al, Mn, Cr and alloys of these elements with one another is present and the further binder metal powders do not contain any cobalt in unprealloyed form. The invention further relates to the use of the inventive formulation in a cemented hard material, a porous sintered agglomerate and a thermal spray powder. The invention also relates to a method of controlling the toxic effect of cobalt-containing metal formulation by utilizing the inventive formulation.

Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of powder mixtures or composite powders from at least one first type of powder from the group consisting of high-melting metals, hard materials and ceramic powders and at least one second type of powder from the group consisting of binder metals, binder-metal mixed crystals and binder-metal alloys, where the second type of powder is formed from precursor compounds in the form of water-soluble salts in an aqueous suspension of the first type of powder by precipitation as oxalate, removal of the mother liquor and reduction to the metal.

Abstract: A process is described for the production of metal powder and alloy powders containing at least one of the metals iron, copper, tin, cobalt or nickel, by mixing aqueous metal salt solutions with an aqueous carboxylic acid solution, separating the precipitation product from the mother liquor and reducing the precipitation product to the metal.
