Abstract: A process for producing a hydrogen storage means. Separate layers comprising a hydrogen-storing material and a heat-conducting material are introduced into a press mold. The separate layers of the hydrogen-storing material and the heat-conducting material are compressed together to generate a sandwich structure. The heat-conducting material, on use of the sandwich structure as hydrogen storage means, assumes the task of conducting heat.

Abstract: The hydrogen storage element for a hydrogen store comprises a pressed article having a hydrogen-storing first material and having a thermally conductive second material, wherein the second material is in thermal contact with the hydrogen-storing first material and has, in some regions, a different three-dimensional distribution within the pressed article.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a compacting auxiliary for powder metallurgy and a sinterable mixture which contains the compacting auxiliary.

Abstract: In order to achieve the object of providing a mixture by means of which, in particular, sintered moldings can be obtained that are virtually free of surface stains produced by soot particles, a mixture is proposed which comprises at least one pressing aid and at least one additive, wherein the additive is selected from a group of substances which have releasable carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A lubricant for use in a powder mixture is disclosed. This lubricant contains carnauba wax and at least one plant- or animal-based fat. A powder mixture using this lubricant can be used to compact green parts have higher densities and helps to improve the life of the tools compacting the powder.

Abstract: Certain preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to compositions for the production of sintered molded parts, components/parts produced therefrom, and methods for preparing such compositions. In accordance with certain embodiments, compositions for production of sintered molded parts comprise a metal-based, a ceramic-based, and/or a polymer-based powder, and a compaction aid, having 25 to 60 weight percent of a polyglycol, based on the total weight of the compaction aid, and 40 to 75 weight percent of a montan wax, based on the total weight of the compaction aid. The compaction aid may be present in an amount from about 0.1 to 5 weight percent, preferably 0.5 to 1.5 weight percent, based on the total weight of the composition. The composition may also include a lubricant such as, for example, MoS2, WS2, BN, MnS, and/or carbon.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sinterable powder compositions, sintered components produced therefrom, and methods for prepared such components. Sinterable powder compositions are composed of an aluminum-based powder, and a first metal powder comprising molybdenum and/or tungsten. The aluminum based powder is composed of aluminum and magnesium, silicon, copper, zinc, titanium, tin, manganese, nickel, or combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the sinterable powder composition includes a second metal powder comprising copper, tin, zinc, lithium, magnesium, or combination thereof. The sinterable powder compositions may be used for the production of sintered components, including composite components, having not only sufficient strength values but also with high hardness.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sintered components and methods for preparing sintered components, which include the steps of introducing a sinterable material into a first mold, pressing the sinterable material to form a green compact; partially post-compressing the green compact in a second press mold, and, sintering the green compact. The density of the post-compressed green compact is greater than the density prior to compression.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing sinterable metallic shaped parts from a metal powder, which is mixed with an auxiliary compacting agent containing at least in part components from the polyalkylene glycol family, is filled into a compacting mold and, following the compacting under pressure, is ejected from the mold as compacted shaped part.
