Abstract
A carrier and developer material for use in an electrostatographic imaging process comprises a metallic core material which has a diffusion-bonded surface alloy layer on the surface of the particle and an optional polymer layer overcoating the alloy layer. The carrier provides improved conductivity and triboelectric properties when used in an electrophotographic imaging process.
