Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a metal sintered body. The method for producing a metal sintered body in accordance with an embodiment includes (a) disposing a metal powder in a chamber of a spark plasma sintering apparatus, (b) applying a electric current to the metal powder to raise a temperature inside the chamber from a standby temperature to a first sintering temperature, (c) lowering the temperature inside the chamber to a second sintering temperature lower than the first sintering temperature and performing sintering, and (d) lowering the temperature inside the chamber from the second sintering temperature to the standby temperature.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of coating the surface of an inorganic powder comprising; (a) providing an alcohol solution of an alcohol-soluble metal salt and an alcohol solution of an amine compound; and (b) mixing and stirring the two alcohol solutions with an inorganic powder and water, thereby coating the surface of the inorganic powder with a metal hydroxide produced from the alcohol-soluble metal salt. The inorganic powders coated with metal oxide manufactured according to the present invention exist independently without substantial agglomeration, and the metal oxide coating is deposited substantially only on the surface of the inorganic powder with uniform thickness without substantial clustering among the inorganic powders. Consequently, when a Ni electrode layer is prepared using the titanium oxide coated Ni powders manufactured according to the present invention, not only quality but also yield of MLCC can be improved.

Abstract: Any one of a Ti-containing water-soluble salt, metatitanic acid (TiO(OH)2) slurry and ultra fine titanium oxide powder, and a transition metal containing metal salt are dissolved in water to prepare a raw material mixture. The raw material is spray-dried to obtain precursor powder, which is calcined to form ultra fine Ti/transition metal complex oxide and is then mixed with nano-sized carbon particles and subjected to reduction and carburization in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.

Abstract: Ultra fine TaC-transition metal based complex powder is prepared by: dispersing a mixture of a Ta-containing material and a transition metal-containing water soluble salt into a solvent; stirring the mixture and spray-drying the stirred material to obtain precursor powder; calcining the precursor powder to form ultra fine Ta-transition metal complex oxide powder; mixing the ultra fine Ta-transition metal complex oxide powder with nano-sized carbon particles, followed by drying to obtain complex oxide powder; and subjecting the dried complex oxide powder to reduction/carburization in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing paste containing flaky aluminum powder, which is the main ingredient of the topcoat paint for automobiles. The present invention is intended to provide a production method, which is more economical than the conventional method of using the gas-atomozied powders. In particular, a vessel is charged with by-product scraps from the production process of aluminum foil, balls, mineral spirits, and an unsaturated fatty acid, such as oleic acid. Under such conditions, the ball-milling is carried out to yield an intermediate paste containing flaky aluminum powder, which is then made into aluminum paste by adjusting the amount of a solvent.

Abstract: A tungsten based heavy alloy having a W--Ni--Fe based composition containing traces of lanthanum or calcium, thereby capable of exhibiting high toughness, irrespective of the content of impurities such as phosphorous and sulfur contained therein, the cooling rate after the sintering treatment and the re-heating treatment. The present invention provides a method for making the high toughness tungsten based heavy alloy. The tungsten based heavy alloy of the present invention is useful to manufacture warheads for breaking armor plates, which require high toughness.
