Method for fabricating composite powders

摘要

A method of fabricating a composite powder (20; 120; 220; 320; 420; 520; 620) includes forming a plurality of loose particles (22; 422) having discrete regions (24; 124; 224; 324; 524; 624) of a first material and discrete regions (26; 126; 226a; 326; 426; 526a; 626) of a second material that is different than the first material. At least one of the first material and the second material includes a chemical precursor to a third, different material.
