Abstract: A non-stick polymer coated aluminum foil and method of making it. The method of making a non-stick polymer coated aluminum foil comprising applying a curable polymer coating composition on at least a portion of one side of an aluminum foil and partially curing the coating composition to allow handling and further processing of the coated aluminum foil without blocking of the coating composition. The curing of the coating composition is completed by heating the coated aluminum foil in bulk. The polymer coating composition may include a cross-linkable polyester.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making aluminum alloy sheet product with improved paintbake response during automotive paintbake cycles, resistance to natural aging and better formability includes rapidly heating the aluminum alloy sheet product between a solution heat treating (5)/quenching operation (1) and a sheet coiling operation (13). Performing the rapid heating at this stage in the sheet manufacture minimizes the adverse effect of early natural aging (dwell time) on the paintbake response of these types of aluminum sheet alloy products. According to the invention, this dwell time is minimized by the application of a rapid heating step (7) immediately following quenching from the solution heat treatment. After the aluminum sheet product has been rapidly heated, it is immediately coiled and cools under ambient conditions in coil form (13), this ambient cooling providing a pre-aging treatment which contributes to the improved performance of the sheet product in paintbake response, improved formability and natural aging resistance.

Abstract: A method of forming a tube joint which can be used in a desalination plant includes providing a fluted tube (1), applying a sealant (51) to the tube end (19) and inserting the tube end (19) into a tube sheet or plate (3) to form a joint therebetween. After insertion, the inner surface of the fluted tube (1) is worked to deform external ridges of the fluted tube (1) and uniformly distribute the sealant (51) throughout the joint area. The fluted tube (1) is deformed using a roll expanding method. The fluted design of the tube (1) retains sealant (51) in the joint area during tube (1) insertion and expansion and takes advantage of the heat transfer characteristic of the flutes (9) to provide an improved joint construction especially adapted for heat exchange use.

Abstract: A lubrication ring (300), for use in a fabrication press (10) having an assembly (20) with a main cavity (160) and a die nib (110) disposed on a surface of the cavity for ironing a workpiece passing through the cavity, includes a groove (360) surrounding a periphery of and opening into the main cavity of the assembly. At least one passage (350) is provided for introducing a fluid into the groove so as to flow within the groove. The fluid is introduced into the groove at a velocity which causes a centrifugal force exceeding the force of gravity to act on the fluid flowing in the groove.

Abstract: A start-up method and apparatus for continuous casting of molten metal into a cast strip product includes initially casting a start-up alloy having sufficient strength, flexibility and casting surface release properties to achieve steady state casting conditions. A target alloy follows the start-up alloy being cast to produce a cast strip product of the target alloy composition. A start-up alloying vessel is disposed between the source of the target alloy and the casting apparatus to facilitate introduction of a start-up alloy into the casting process or formulation of a particular start-up alloy for initiation of the continuous casting operation.

Abstract: Apparatus and method of trimming cylindrical cans wherein each can is orbited about a central turret axis while being rotated about its longitudinal can axis is disclosed. The cans are successively mounted with vacuum onto a support mandrel located on a support shaft within each of plural cartridge assemblies mounted at circumferentially spaced intervals on a turret disk. The can is firmly secured to the mandrel by vacuum so that the open end portion of the can body projects between an outside. circular cutting knife and an inside trimming edge disposed within the open end. As the cartridge orbits about the turret axis on the shaft axis, the inside trimming edge is radially displaced by camming action into contact with the open end portion of the can body and the outside cutting edge to generate cutting forces for trimming the portion. This trimming occurs as the inside trimming edge is maintained radially closer to the turret axis than the can body and the outside cutting edge which remain centered on the cartridge axis. In the preferred embodiment, however, this trimming can occur by gradually camming the entire circumference extent of the inside trimming edge into contact with the can body without rotating either the trimming edge, outside cutting edge, or can body in relation to the cartridge axis. By locating the can supporting mandrel on the cartridge shaft, set-up of trim height and trim quality is self-contained within the cartridge which allows for set-up and quality verification in the tool room before the cartridge is placed in a production machine.

Abstract: Procédés permettant d'appliquer un revêtement sur un article en fer ou en aluminium tel qu'une pièce rapportée (20) de chemise de cylindre, afin de produire une fixation métallurgique par rapport à un matériau en alliage d'aluminium coulé autour de l'article. La surface (26) de l'article devant être fixé est traitée de façon à en enlever les impuretés, les oxydes et les matériaux étrangers, et l'article est préchauffé. On utilise un matériau de fixation métallique fondu, tel que du zinc ou un alliage de zinc, dans lequel l'article préchauffé est immergé pour produire un revêtement fixé par voie métallurgique sur la surface de l'article en cours de traitement. L'article comportant le revêtement peut être placé dans un moule peu après application du revêtement ou après avoir été refroidi à la température ambiante et stocké, et un alliage d'aluminium fondu est versé autour de l'article afin de produire une fixation métallurgique entre l'aluminium et le revêtement sur l'article. La structure obtenue produit une fixation métallurgique présentant des caractéristiques de transfert thermique et une intégrité structurale améliorées.

Abstract: Bloc-moteur (10) pour moteur à combustion interne comprenant au moins un passage (18), et une chemise cylindrique (20) qui est appliquée par pression dans le passage (18) pour délimiter la surface cylindrique interne (24) le long de laquelle le piston (34) effectue sa course de va-et-vient. La surface interne du passage (18) et la surface externe (26) de la chemise (20) sont revêtues chacune d'une couche de zinc ou d'un alliage de zinc présentant une liaison métallurgique avec les surfaces respectives de manière à former des liaisons intermétalliques. La chemise (20) est appliquée par pression dans le passage (18) pendant que ces deux éléments de trouvent à une température de fusion du zinc, afin d'unir la chemise (20) et le bloc (18) par une liaison métallurgique. Celle-ci est essentiellement continue, de manière à former un chemin métallique continu qui améliore le transfert de chaleur et la résistance structurelle entre la chemise (20) et le bloc. La chemise (20) peut être constituée soit de fonte soit d'un alliage d'aluminium, et le bloc-moteur (10) est de préférence moulé en un alliage d'aluminium.
