| 20110044841 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING MICROSCOPIC COMPONENTS - A method is provided for producing microscopically small components. The method can produce components with a size of less than 10 μm. The method includes: (a) Production of a precipitation hardenable alloy comprising at least two phases, in which alloy of a first phase forms a matrix structure in which a second phase is embedded in the form of discrete particles of a size less than 10 μm; (b) Dissolution of the matrix and separation of particles from the alloy; and (c) Mechanical deformation by forging respectively a separated particle with at least one striking tool to form the desired element. | 02-24-2011 |
