Production of flat products from particulate material

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Production of Flat Products, from Particulate Material A process for producing flat products from gas atomised particulate material comprises the steps or forming a relatively smooth castable slurry comprising a suspension of such particulate material in a solution of a film-forming binder material depositing, a coating of the slurry onto a substrate of support surface and drying the coating to form a flexible flat product. The dried flat product may be bonded onto the substrate or support surface by the drying process or, alternatively, may be removed therefrom and rollbonded to a suitable substrate for subsequent compaction and sintering.
