Provided are methods of preparing high density compacted components that increase that lubricity of metallurgical powder compositions while reducing the overall organic content of the compacted component. In a presently preferred embodiment, the highly radiopaque component is at least 10% and less than about 60% of the transverse cross-section of the flexible member, preferably at least 20% but less than 40%. The reception operation unit executes the reception operation process in the precise orbit information period, uses the coarse orbit information period as a suspended reception period, and pauses at least a part of the reception operation process in the suspended reception period.
