Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A clay-like composition for forming a sintered precious metal body, the clay-like composition containing at least one powder selected from the group consisting of precious metal powders and precious metal alloy powders, an organic binder, an organic additive and water, wherein the clay-like composition has an initial hardness measured using a type E durometer of E8 to E20, and has a hardness after standing for one hour at room temperature of E40 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A clay-like composition for forming a sintered precious metal body, the clay-like composition comprising at least one powder selected from the group consisting of precious metal powders and precious metal alloy powders, an organic binder, an organic additive and water, wherein the organic additive includes propylene glycol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol, an amount of the organic additive is from 0.1 mass % to 3.0 mass %, an amount of the propylene glycol is in a range of 0.3 mass % to 0.8 mass %, an amount of the glycerol is in a range of 0.1 mass % to 0.2 mass %, an amount of the polyethylene glycol is in a range of 0.1 mass % to 0.2 mass %, and the clay-like composition has an initial hardness measured using a type E durometer of E8 to E20, and has a hardness after standing for one hour at room temperature of E40 or less. 2. The clay-like composition for forming a sintered precious metal body according to claim 1 , wherein a total amount of the propylene glycol, the glycerol and the polyethylene glycol is from 0.5 mass % to 1.8 mass %. 3. The clay-like composition for forming a sintered precious metal body according to claim 1 , further comprising wherein 0.1 mass % to 1 mass % of a surface active agent excluding the polyethylene glycol. 4. The clay-like composition for forming a sintered precious metal body according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the water is from 3 mass % to 35 mass %. 5. The clay-like composition for forming a sintered precious metal body according to claim 1 , wherein the clay-like composition is wrapped in a packaging material having gas barrier properties, and the packaging material is one or more material selected from a group consisting of polyvinylidene chloride film, metal foil, and laminated film including a metal layer and a resin layer.
