Abstract
A method for the manufacture of fully densified, finely divided particles of silver-palladium alloy comprising the sequential steps: A. Forming an unsaturated solution of a mixture of thermally decomposable silver-containing compound and a thermally decomposable palladium-containing compound in a thermally volatilizable solvent; B. Forming an aerosol consisting essentially of finely divided droplets of the solution from step A dispersed in a carrier gas, the droplet concentration which is below the concentration where collisions and subsequent coalescence of the droplets results in a 10% reduction in droplet concentration; C. Heating the aerosol to an operating temperature above the decomposition temperature of both the silver-containing compound and the palladium-containing compound but below the melting point of a silver-palladium alloy by which (1) the solvent is volatilized, (2) the silver-containing compound and the palladium-containing compound are decomposed to form finely divided particles of silver, palladium, silver-palladium alloy, or mixtures thereof, and (3) the particles form an alloy and are densified; and D. Separating the particles of silver-palladium alloy from the carrier gas, reaction by-products and solvent volatilization products.
