Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a nanocrystallite from a M-containing salt forms a nanocrystallite. The nanocrystallite can be a member of a population of nanocrystallites having a narrow size distribution and can include one or more semiconductor materials. Semiconducting nanocrystallites can photoluminesce and can have high emission quantum efficiencies.

Abstract:
A method for producing high-density powder metallurgy articles formed of hard powder materials, and particularly hard ferromagnetic materials that yield powder metallurgy magnets exhibiting improved magnetic properties as compared to powder metallurgy magnets formed of pure iron. The method generally entails the use of a powder of a material that is harder than iron, and then encapsulating each particle of the powder with a layer of iron. The powder is then compacted, by which the particles are adhered together to form a powder metallurgy article. As a result of forming a sufficiently thick encapsulating layer of iron on each powder particle, the powder can be compacted to a greater density than would be possible without the encapsulating layer of iron. If a ferromagnetic material is used, the resulting magnetic article is capable of exhibiting magnetic properties superior to a substantially identical pure iron powder metallurgy magnet.
Abstract:
The invention concerns new lubricants comprising a combination of a polyethylene oxide and an oligomer amide and an improved metallurgical powder composition comprising a major amount of an iron-based powder and a minor amount of this new lubricant. Furthermore, the invention concerns a method requiring low ejection force and low ejection energy for producing green products having high green strength. The method comprises the steps of mixing an iron-based powder and optional additives with the new lubricant and compacting the obtained powder composition.
Abstract:
A solder composition and a method 10 for producing such a solder composition is provide. The solder composition is substantially “lead-free”, has a relatively long shelf life, and has a desirable melting temperature. Particularly, the solder composition contains tin and zinc with substantially all of the exposed zinc constituents or phases being covered by a relatively thin layer of tin. The formed solder composition may be operatively used with a mildly activated “no-clean” rosin flux.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of making a cemented carbide body with a bimodal grain size distribution by powder metallurgical methods including wet mixing, without milling, of WC-powders with different grain size distributions with binder metal and pressing agent, drying, pressing and sintering. The grains of the WC-powders are classified in at least two groups, a group of smaller grains and a group of larger grains. According to the method of the present invention, the grains of the group of smaller grains are precoated with a growth inhibitor with or without binder metal.
