Clay-like shaped body for forming sintered precious metal body

Abstract

A clay-like shaped body for forming a sintered precious metal body, the clay-like shaped body obtained by shaping a 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 into either a wire-like shape having a diameter of 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm or a sheet-like shape having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm, wherein cracking does not occur when the clay-like shaped body is wound tightly once around the outer peripheral surface of a core rod having a circular cross-sectional shape with a diameter of 13 mm.

1 . A clay-like shaped body for forming a sintered precious metal body, the clay-like shaped body obtained by shaping a 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 into either a wire-like shape having a diameter of 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm or a sheet-like shape having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm, wherein
 cracking does not occur when the clay-like shaped body is wound tightly once around an outer peripheral surface of a core rod having a circular cross-sectional shape with a diameter of 13 mm.   
     
     
         2 . The clay-like shaped body for forming a sintered precious metal body according to  claim 1 , wherein the clay-like shaped body 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.
