  • Method for making silver-palladium alloy powders by aerosol decomposition
    Patent number: 5429657
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of fully densified, finely divided particles of silver-palladium alloy comprising the sequential steps:A. Forming an unsaturated solution of a mixture of thermally decomposable silver-containing compound and a thermally decomposable palladium-containing compound in a thermally volatilizable solvent;B. Forming an aerosol consisting essentially of finely divided droplets of the solution from step A dispersed in a carrier gas, the droplet concentration which is below the concentration where collisions and subsequent coalescence of the droplets results in a 10% reduction in droplet concentration;C.
