SINTERING METAL POWDER AND SINTERED METAL BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240110266 titled 'SINTERING METAL POWDER AND SINTERED METAL BODY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a sintering metal powder composition for use in sintering, consisting of ferritic stainless steel with specific content percentages of chromium (c) and niobium (nb), as well as impurities. The ratio of c to nb may also fall within a certain range.

  • The composition contains ferritic stainless steel with specific content percentages of chromium and niobium.
  • The chromium content is between 0.05% and 1.00%, while the niobium content is between 0.05% and 1.50%.
  • The ratio of chromium to niobium (c/nb) may range from 0.10 to 1.80.
  • The composition may also include impurities.
