Abstract
Abstract Metal powder agglomerates of individual particles comprising (i) more than 70% by weight of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of the elements molybdenum, rhenium and tungsten and (ii) one or more binder metals selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, silver, gold, palladium, platinum, rhodium, chromium and rhenium, wherein the individual particles have grain sizes of less than 2 μm and all the metal particles lie side by side in uniform random distribution are useful as the powder required for producing shaped, sintered articles in a powder metallurgical preparation.
