Conclusions
-
1.
A process has been developed for the manufacture of nickel-base alloy powder from swarf. The process is based on the technique of coreduction of mixed oxides and metal powders with calcium hydride.
-
2.
The alloy powder has a chemical composition which substantially conforms to the requirements of the ChMTU/TsNIIChM 1318–65 technical specification for the cast alloy, a low oxygen content (not more than 0.10%), and a high degree of homogeneity.
-
3.
The alloy powder, whose apparent density, particle size distribution, and flowability correspond to those of high-alloy steel and alloy powders (to GOST 13084-67 standard), exhibits good compressibility and is well suited for the manufacture of porous and dense parts and materials by powder metallurgy techniques.
-
4.
Experimental batches of powder have been produced intended for comprehensive studies of properties and trials by customers.
