An ultrasonic method of mixing powders of refractory metal dichalcogenides with gallium-base low-melting-point alloys

Conclusions The investigation has shown that ultrasonic treatment is the only effective mechanical method of mixing the components of systems consisting of tungsten and molybdenum disulfides (or diselenides) and gallium-base low-melting-point alloys. Ultrasonic treatment results in the formation of homogeneous mixtures of MoS₂, WS₂, MoSe₂, and WSe₂ with gallium alloys in a wide range of concentrations of the latter component (from 5 to 50 wt.%).Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 11(179), pp. 42–45, November, 1977.
