Abstract

Ultrafine cobalt and nickel powders are produced from sulfate solutions containing ammonia under hydrogen pressure in the presence of a small amount of a reductant from the group consisting of metal hydrides, metal borohydrides and metal borides. Cobalt powders having a particle size of about 2 micrometers produced in accordance with the invention have been used successfully in the production of cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide.
