Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a nonwoven structure (1) comprising metal wire filaments (2) by carrying out the following steps: a) producing a layer (3) comprising wire filaments (2); establishing first integral joints (4) between at least a part of the metal wire filaments (2) using a first joining method; c) establishing second integral joints (5) between metal wire filaments (2) using a second joining method. The invention also relates to corresponding nonwoven structures and to possible uses thereof, for example in the exhaust gas treatment of motor vehicles.
Abstract:
An abradable turbine seal having a novel honeycomb cellular structure (30) fabricated from metal foils or sheets (32) showing good manufacturability, optimised brazeability and especially good structural integrity and oxidation resistance after brazing to metal support structures (44). MCrA1Y (M=Ni, Fe, Co or combinations thereof) foil and sheet metals are particularly suitable to produce such a structure.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindung, bestehend aus mindestens zweier Metallelemente (10,12), von denen zumindest eines der beiden Elemente eine Deckschicht (27,28) eines Verbundwerkstoffs (12) mit einem wärmeempfindlichen Kern (21) darstellt, wird dadurch hergestellt, dass bei einem Schweißvorgang bzw. einem Lötvorgang das Material derart aufgeschmolzen wird, dass zwischen dem wärmeempfindlichen Kern (21) und dem aufgeschmolzenen Nahtbereich (30) eine nicht aufgeschmolzene Schicht (32) verbleibt. Bei dieser nicht aufgeschmolzenen Schicht kann es sich um einen Teilbereich (32) der Metallelemente (27,28) selbst handeln und/oder um zusätzliche Elemente. Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zur Ausbildung einer solchen Verbindung.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the joining of a support matrix of a honeycomb (4), especially a catalyst support body, on at least one end face; said support matrix consisting of at least partially structured layered or wound metal sheets and being situated in a cover tube (7). According to the invention, the support matrix is joined using a surface inductor (13) comprising induction coils (12). The induction coils (12), positioned accordingly, at least partially heat the end face (11) of the honeycomb (4), in such a way as to produce joints between the metal sheets, at least in points (14), especially in patches (15). Joint patches of this type can preferably be produced with variations in terms of their size on the end face. The invention provides a surface inductor (13) for this purpose. The areas in which said surface inductor is effective (14, 15) can advantageously be modified, hereby modifying the production of the joining points (14) and/or patches (15). The invention is particularly suitable for joining using bonding techniques such as soldering or sintering and can be advantageously used in a continuous process for producing catalyst support bodies.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for glueing and soldering a honeycomb structure comprising at least one partially structured foil (2) with a pitch (P) and a wave height (W). Said method comprises the following steps: choosing a mean solder diameter of a powder solder, said diameter being 15% smaller than the height of the wave; determining a minimum thickness of the glue strip (B) according to equation (I); glueing the at least partially structured foil within the width of the glue strip on at least part of the wave crests formed by the undulation; soldering the honeycomb structure. The invention also relates to a corresponding honeycomb structure which ensures satisfactory joint connections even when said structure is used in the exhaust systems of automobiles.
Abstract:
Brazed structures (10) comprising hollow components (12) having a closure component (14) bonded thereto by a metallic brazing alloy (16) for closing off an end of the hollow component (12) are disassembled by locating a wire transport material (20) in the hollow component (12) and covering the open face of the hollow component with a wire fiber material (22). Heat is then applied to liquefy the brazing alloy (16) which is drawn up into the metal wire fiber material (22) by capillary affect created by the wire transport material (20).
Abstract:
A method of making an expanded metal sandwich structure (42) includes cleaning the appropriate parts prior to each bonding step in the process to remove metal oxides and residues that would interfere with the bonding steps. The core sheets (44, 46) are placed face-to-face and a gas pressure line fitting (52) is inserted between one edge and is welded into place. The core sheets (44, 46) are pressed together and laser welded together into a core pack (45) along lines which will form junction lines between the core sheets (44, 46) when the core pack (45) is superplastically expanded. Two metal face sheets (48, 50) having superplastic characteristics are placed over and under the core pack (45). An envelope gas fitting (54) is placed between the face sheets and is welded in place while seal welding around the entire peripheral edges of the face sheets (48, 50) and the core pack (45) to produce a sealed envelope pack (47) enveloping the core pack (45).

A metal foil made of a ferrite type heat resistant high alloy steel composing a metal honeycomb body for an exhaust gas purification catalyst produced by alternately laminating or integrally winding a flat foil and a corrugated foil, whereby a surface coarseness of said metal foil is in the range of 0.001 to 0.3µm in terms of the mean coarseness Rac in the width-wise direction of the foil and a surface shape and condition of said metal foil is at least 100 in terms of the number of peaks PPI per inch lenghth in the width-wise direction of the foil.
Abstract:
Disclosed are different titanium aluminide (Ti-Al) honeycomb panel structures formed from a gamma-based Ti-Al (γ-Ti-Al) or orthorhombic Ti-Al (O-Ti-Al) honeycomb core (12) brazed to a γ-Ti-Al or O-Ti-Al facing sheet(s) (16), where a metal braze filler foil (14) containing copper, titanium and optionally nickel, is used to join the faying surface of the honeycomb core (12) and the faying surface of the facing sheet(s) (16). The structures and method of the invention are useful where high strength, lightweight materials are required, such as in aircraft and other aerospace-related applications.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising a honeycomb (1) and a surrounding jacket, the honeycomb comprising a structure formed of a stack of metal sheets, of which at least part are profiled, and the honeycomb structure including several through-flow channels for gas. The free ends of the said metal sheets are distributed over a part (S 1 ) of the honeycomb periphery unsymmetrically to the centre of the honeycomb so that part (F 1 ) of the honeycomb's periphery is free from the free ends of the metal sheets. The said honeycomb is attached either directly or through an intermediate layer to the said jacket over an area (L 1 ) comprising at least part of the said free ends.
