Title:
METHOD TO AGGLOMERATE METAL PARTICLES AND METAL PARTICLES HAVING IMPROVED PROPERTIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999061184
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method to agglomerate metal particles such as tantalum and niobium powders is described which includes combining a volatilizable or vaporizable liquid with the particles to form wet particles; compacting the wet particles; drying the compacted wet particles to form a cake; and heat treating the cake to form the agglomerated particles. Also described are agglomerated particles obtained by this method and further, particles, perferably tantalum or niobium powder, having a flow rate of at least about 65 mg/sec and/or an improved pore size distribution, and/or a higher Scott Density. Capacitors made from tantalum powder and niobium powder are also described.
