TITANIUM BORIDE BASED SINTERING COMPOSITION AND THE USE THEREOF IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SINTERED ARTICLES

摘要

A powder composition suitable for the pressureless thermal sintering of articles which may be used in aluminium electro-thermics contains titanium boride with boron and titanium hydride as densifying additives. During sintering these additives form titanium boride. As this is identical to the substance of the sintered article the additives therefore do not constitute impurities in the sintered article.
