Process for the preparation of alloy powders on the basis of zirconium alloyed with nickel

摘要

Preparation of alloy powder, based on titanium, zirconium and hafnium, alloyed with the elements of nickel, copper, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, osmium and iridium, comprises: (a) mixing oxides of titanium, zirconium and/or hafnium, and metal powder of the above elements with a reducing agent; (b) heating the mixture in an oven in argon atmosphere, optionally under hydrogen atmosphere until reduction reaction is initiated; and (c) leaching and subsequently washing and drying the reaction product, where the used oxide has an average particle size of 0.5-20 mu m.
