Abstract:
A HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANT STRUCTURAL MATERIAL COMPRISING FIRST AND SECOND RIBBONS OF SOLID VITREOUS MATERIAL HAVING A THICKNESS BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 0.001 AND 0.005 INCH, AND A LAYER OF FIBERS INTERMEDIATE SAID RIBBONS, THE RIBBONS HAVING PORTIONS WHICH SURROUND AND WET THE FIBERS AND WHICH ARE FUSED TOGETHER TO UNITE THE RIBBONS.
Abstract:
A METHOD OF MAKING AN IMPACT RESISTANT COMPOSITE COMPRISING: COATING GLASS FIBERS WITH METAL, AND SOLIDIFYING A MATRIX OF GLASS AROUND THE METAL COATED GLASS FIBERS. THE COATING HAS A THICKNESS BETWEEN 0.00005 AND 0.001 INCH, THE FIBERS ARE ARRANGED IN A GENERALLY PARALLED MAN-
NER IN WHICH THE FIBERS OCCUPY FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 70 PERCENT OF THE VOLUME AND THE GLASS HAS A SOFTENING POINT BELOW THE MELTING POING OF THE METAL COATING.
Abstract:
This invention is addressed to fiber-reinforced elastomeric products wherein the reinforcement fibers are in the form of a bundle of co-formed glass and synthetic organic fibers which are intimately admixed as they are formed and subsequently treated to form a thin size coating on the surfaces thereof and/or impregnated with an elastomer compatible material to improve the bonding relationship between the bundle of co-formed fibers and elastomeric materials.
Abstract:
A composite having high strength and impact resistance comprising from 30 to 90 percent by volume of a glassy material from the group consisting of the following approximate formulations given in approximate percentages by weight: 4% SiO2, 3% A12O3, 10% B2O3, 83% PbO; and 28.7% SiO2, 9.1% CaO, 11.77% Na2O, 26.3% B2O3, 5.3% ZnO, 17.2% BaO, and 3.1% F2; and having from 10 to 70 percent by volume of stainless steel fibers, boron fibers, or graphite fibers.
