         Appeal No. 1999-2173                                                        
         Application No. 08/865,952                                                  


         certain amounts of chromium and carbon (Answer, page 3, citing              
         Buran, col. 2, ll. 40-63, and col. 4, ll. 5-15).  From these                
         findings the examiner concludes that the Buran disclosure                   
         “fully meets all recited limitations of appealed claims 1, 2,               
         3, and 5.”  Id.                                                             
               On this record, we cannot agree with the examiner.  Claim             
         1 on appeal requires that the powder contain an alloy selected              
         from the group of molybdenum-chromium, molybdenum-tungsten,                 
         and molybdenum-tungsten-chromium alloys.  The examiner has not              
         shown
