Abstract

Oxide-free metallic, alloy or intermetallic compound formed by coating a powder of at least one member selected from the group consisting of elemental metallic, alloy and intermetallic compound with an oxide-replacing metal. The oxide-free compound may be compacted without the addition of a liquid sintering agent and at temperatures below the melting point of the compound, under sufficient pressure to form a uniform, consolidated intermetallic body.
