Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a honeycomb seal, said seal having a honeycomb structure which comprises a plurality of honeycombs and is open on one side, namely on the sealing side. The honeycomb structure is closed by a carrier element on the side opposing the seal side and is connected to said element in a fixed manner. According to the invention, said method comprises the following steps: a) a desired spatial form is applied to the honeycomb structure, said form then being fixed; b) the honeycomb structure is filled with a filler material; c) the honeycomb structure filled with the filler material is then processed on the side on which the carrier element is arranged, in such a way that this side has a desired contour and front edges of the honeycomb structure are flush with the filler material; d) the side contoured in this way is then covered with a coating; e) and the carrier element is applied to the coating, preferably by means of laser powder build-up welding.
Abstract:
In a film bonding machine 1 including a laser oscillation means 2 for oscillating laser for processing a tape 7 bonded onto an end surface 8 of a columnar honeycomb structural body 6 by the laser oscillated from the laser oscillation means 2, the film bonding machine 1 further includes an image pick-up means 3 having a moving type or tilt type mirror 4 capable of reflecting the end surface 8 of the honeycomb structural body 6 onto the same axis as the laser oscillation means 2 by reflected light and an image pick-up unit 5 for picking up the image of the end surface 8 of the honeycomb structural body 6 reflected by the mirror 4. In the film bonding machine 1, the processing position of the tape 7 bonded onto the end surface 8 of the honeycomb structural body 6 can be recognized by the image-pick means 3 on the same axis as the laser oscillation means 2. As a result, the tape bonded onto the end surface of the honeycomb structural body can be accurately processed by the laser.
Abstract:
Sheet film (1) for a metallic honeycomb body (2), made from layers (3) of sheets, whereby a number of said sheet films (1) may be connected to form the honeycomb body (2), by means of a solder (19) in the form of a powder, characterised in that the sheet film (1) comprises at least one sliding structure (4) for the relative sliding of sheet layers (3), arranged adjacently. A honeycomb body (2), comprising said sheet films (1) and a method for production of said honeycomb body (2) are also disclosed. Sharply delineated soldered joints can be guaranteed with said sheet film (1), even for solder (19) in the form of a powder, which, in particular with regard to the thermal and dynamic loads placed on said honeycomb body (2) as the catalyst support in an exhaust unit of an internal combustion engine, results in a greatly increased lifespan.
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 producing a compact catalytic reactor(1). At least partially structured plates (2a-c) are stacked on top of each other to form alternate reaction chambers (5) and heat transfer chambers (6). A catalyst (4) is introduced into the reaction chambers (5). The plates (2a-c) are provided with a soldering layer (7) at least in the edge area (8) but not in the area provided with the catalyst, and after they have been stacked on top of each other, are soldered to a reactor. The edge area (11) of the plates (2a-c) can also be bent up in order to facilitate positioning and increase tightness. Unstructured intermediate plates (9) may be provided respectively between the structured plates (2a-c).
Abstract:
According to the invention, there are provided catalyst carrier 14 for an exhaust gas purification system, and the method therefor. The catalyst carrier 14 has a honeycomb structure formed of a roll of bands of stainless steel-made one corrugated sheet 1 and one plain sheet 2, which hold stainless steel-made bonding assistants 15 therebetween. Said bonding assistants 15 have width narrower than those of said sheets, wherein they are positioned at locations radially inside the projections 6 formed at side ends of the corrugated sheet 1 and have thickness T greater than height H of projections 6. Thus, corrugated sheet 1 and plain sheet 2 are diffusion bonded to each other with locally centered high contact pressure, without the influence of projections 6.
Abstract:
A method for joining well and other oilfield tubulars by amorphous bonding comprises the steps of positioning a body of amorphous material (16) between adjacent and surfaces of a pair of oilfield tubulars (3, 4) that are to be joined and using induction heating to melt the amorphous material and create on cooling a metallurgical bond between the tubulars (3, 4). Throughout the heating and bonding process the tubulars (3, 4) are fixed in axial alignment with each other using clamp means which include a mandrel (1) which is inserted into the interior of the tubulars (3, 4) so that the bonding process can be performed in a sealed chamber (17, 18) which is filled with an inert gas.
Abstract:
A double skin composite panel comprising two steel facing plates (2, 3) of thickness between 2 mm and 32 mm joined together by cross-members (1). Each cross-member (1) is aligned generally normal to the facing plates and is spaced from its neighbouring members by a distance of between 10 and 80 times the thickness of the centres of the facing plates (2, 3), the separation between the facing plates being between 30 mm and 800 mm. A filler material, e.g. concrete, is introduced into the spacing between the facing plates.
Abstract:
In a process for soldering partial areas (5) of a metallic structure (2, 4), a sticky material is applied on the partial areas (5) and then soldering powder is applied thereon, which adheres to the sticky material. The sticky material retains its stickiness up to temperatures of at least 180°, preferably above 200 °C, so that when the structure (2, 4) is thermally treated, in particular thermally degreased, no soldering powder is lost. This process is particularly suitable to produce catalyst carrier bodies (1) for catalytic converters of internal combustion engines, since during its production two different connections have to be achieved, i.e. binding the honeycombed body itself (4) to a tubular casing (2) and assembling individual sheet metal layers of the honeycombed structure (4). Different soldering techniques can be successively applied with no loss of the initially applied soldering powder.
