摘要

Process for producing very pure platinum materials dispersion-reinforced with Y2O3 and having high strength and extensibility, even in the temperature range >800 DEG C., from platinum powder by mechanical alloying, which comprises the process steps preparing platinum powder of high purity and low particle size of from 2 to 10 mu m, introducing and dispersing Y2O3 particles >1 mu m in the platinum powder by milling in a platinum vessel using milling media of zirconium oxide, degassing the milled product under a vacuum of better than 10-3 mbar and with an increase in temperature to at least 1200 DEG C. in a platinum capsule for a period of up to 48 hours, gastight welding of the evacuated capsule and hot isostatic pressing at 1350 DEG C. and 200 MPa to give blocks of compact dispersion-reinforced platinum having a density of 100%, producing semi-finished parts and foils from these dispersion-reinforced platinum materials, these parts and foils having a platinum purity of at least 99.95%, a tensile strength Rm from 300 to 350 MPa, an extensibility A of 15-25% and a grain stability up to 1400 DEG C.
