  • Patent number: 7258722
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2007
    Assignee: Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials
    Inventors: Byoung Kee Kim, Seong Hyeon Hong, Yong Won Woo
  • Patent number: 7153340
    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.

  • Patent number: 6914032
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing W—Cu based composite powder, which is used in heat-sink materials for high-power integrated circuits, electric contact materials, etc, and to a method of producing a W—Cu based sintered alloy by using the composite powder. The method of producing tungsten-copper based composite powder includes first preparing composite oxide powder by dissolving ammonium metatungstate, [(NH4)6(H2W12O40).

  • Patent number: 6511551
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of adding a grain growth inhibitor of WC/Co cemented carbide, which comprises adding a water-soluble salt of V, Ta, or Cr component as a grain growth inhibitor, at the time of mixing water-soluble salts of W and Co during the initial production process of WC/Co cemented carbides. As a result, the present invention leads to the production of powder of homogeneous distribution of grain growth inhibitors, which in turn results in the enhancement of the mechanical properties thereof by effectively controlling the abnormal growth of WC during sintering in the production process of said cemented carbides.
