WORKING METALLIC POWDER; MANUFACTURE OF ARTICLES FROM METALLIC POWDER; MAKING METALLIC POWDER (making alloys by powder metallurgy C22C); APPARATUS OR DEVICES SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR METALLIC POWDER [2022-01]
NOTES

  • This subclass covers the making of metallic powder only insofar as powder with specific physical characteristics is made.
  • In this subclass, the term "powder" includes somewhat larger particles which are worked, obtained or behave in a manner similar to powder, e.g. fibres.
  • In this subclass, the expression "metallic powder" covers:
    • powders consisting of metal particles;
    • powders consisting of coated metal particles;
    • powders consisting of metal-coated non-metallic particles;
    • mixtures of powders of the kinds mentioned above;
    • powders of the kinds mentioned above as the main component mixed with or containing non-metallic material, e.g. lubricating or binding agents or organic material.
  • {In this subclass, combination sets (C-Sets) are used. Detailed information about C-Sets construction and the associated syntax rules is found in the definitions for B22F.}
WARNINGS

  • The following IPC groups are not in the CPC scheme. The subject matter for these IPC groups is classified in the following CPC groups:
