Abstract
A process for producing an agglomerated metallurgical composition involving contacting a flowable mass of metal powder, e.g. aluminum powder having a melting point above about 500.degree. C. with a lesser mass of alkali metal, e.g. lithium at a temperature between the melting point of the alkai metal and the melting point of the metal of the powder. The contact is made under a protective atmosphere, e.g. argon or helium and is effected by kneading the metal powder and the molten metal for sufficient time to form agglomerates of substantially uniform composition.
