OSTI ID:4331442

An intimate mixture of finely divided chromium sesquioxide and metal powder is heated to a temperature of 1500 to 1800 deg C in an inert atmosphere. The metal powder is employed in amount to give a product wherein the ratio Cr: O is 1 to 1.2 to 1.4. The product sinters at elevated temperatures and may be compacted (cold or hot pressing, sintering) with or without a cementing metal or by bonding with organic resin. The material is of great hardness (for cutting tools or high temperature use under oxidizing conditions1.
