Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnesium-based alloy powder is made of a magnesium-based alloy that contains 0.2 mass % to 5 mass % of calcium, wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder has an average particle diameter of 100 μm to 1,500 μm, wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder has a particle average aspect ratio of 0.5 to 1, wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder has an apparent density of 0.2 g/cm 3 to 1.2 g/cm 3 , and wherein the mean value of hardness variation index values obtained by dividing the difference of the maximum value and the minimum value of micro Vickers hardnesses taken at 10 measurement points in a particle cross section by the maximum value is 0.3 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnesium-based alloy powder comprising a magnesium-based alloy that contains 0.2 mass % to 5 mass % of calcium, and contains nickel and cerium, wherein an amount of each of the nickel and cerium is in the range of 0.1 to 5 mass %, wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder has an average particle diameter of 100 μm to 1,500 μm, wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder has a particle average aspect ratio of 0.5 to 1, wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder has an apparent density of 0.2 g/cm 3 to 1.2 g/cm 3 , wherein a concentration of the calcium on a surface of the particle is two times or more greater than a concentration of the calcium inside the particle in terms of mass ratio, and wherein the mean value of hardness variation index values obtained by dividing the difference of the maximum value and the minimum value of micro Vickers hardnesses taken at 10 measurement points in a particle cross section by the maximum value is 0.3 or less. 2. The magnesium-based alloy powder according to claim 1 , wherein the calcium segregates on a surface of each particle of the magnesium-based alloy powder. 3. The magnesium-based alloy powder according to claim 1 , wherein the magnesium-based alloy further comprises 2.5 mass % to 12 mass % of aluminum. 4. The magnesium-based alloy powder according to claim 1 , wherein the average dendrite arm spacing (DAS) in a crystal structure of the magnesium-based alloy powder is 0.05 μm to 5 μm. 5. The magnesium-based alloy powder according to claim 1 , wherein the magnesium-based alloy powder is produced by using high-speed rotary water jet atomization.
