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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
Non-pyrophoric magnetic cobalt particles of a size no larger than about 0.8 micron, said particles having sub-micron sized refractory oxide particles fixed on the surfaces thereof and containing less than 0.2 wt. % carbon and less than 2 wt % oxygen exclusive of the oxygen associated with said refractory oxide, said cobalt particles being further characterized by a coercivity of 200 to 400 oersteds and a remanent induction value of 2000-7000 gauss.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 72 words
Non-pyrophoric magnetic cobalt particles of a size no larger than about 0.8 micron, said particles having sub-micron sized refractory oxide particles fixed on the surfaces thereof and containing less than 0.2 wt. % carbon and less than 2 wt % oxygen exclusive of the oxygen associated with said refractory oxide, said cobalt particles being further characterized by a coercivity of 200 to 400 oersteds and a remanent induction value of 2000-7000 gauss.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
