Abstract
Abstract A cobalt powder product is described which is composed of cobalt particles about 0.8 microns or smaller in size and have refractory oxide particles fixed on the surfaces thereof. The powder is particularly suitable for manufacture of sintered carbide products as well as for use in magnetic products such as magnetic inks and tapes.
