Patent ·
OSTI ID:5501193

This patent describes an eta phase composition in powder form, prepared in the absence of sulfur or sulfur bearing compounds, the powder having a surface area greater than about 2m{sup 2}/g and the eta phase consisting essentially of X{sub 6}Y{sub 6}Z{sub a}. It comprises carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides wherein X is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mo and W, Y is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, Mo and W, Z is at least one element selected from the group consisting of C, N and combinations thereof such that when Z is N, a is greater than or equal to 1 but less than or equal to 2 and when Z is C, a is greater than 1 but less than or equal to 2 except when Z is C and Y is Fe, then a is greater than or equal to 1 but less than or equal to 2.
