Abstract

This invention relates to fine-particle powders of the metals B, Al, Si, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta and/or Cr which have a defined particle size of 1.0 nm to less than 3 μm. Less than 1% of the individual particles of the powder deviate by more than 40% from the average particle size, and no individual particle of the powder deviates by more than 60% from the average particle size.
