A method of improving the corrosion properties of an aluminum alloy product containing solid solution alloying elements includes the step of rapidly quenching the alloy product after it has been heated or hot deformed so as to maintain the alloying elements in solid solution to avoid microsegregation of the solid solution alloying elements and minimize preferential sites for corrosion onset.

A temperature profile is determined of a metal sample for the metal to be converted to establish a temperature range indicative of a partially solid and partially liquid state of the metal. With this temperature profile, a metal preform is heated at a controlled rate from a temperature below the temperature range to a temperature within the range defined by the temperature profile to achieve a select percent by volume of liquid in the metal. This controlled heating to a desired temperature, which may be at a uniform rate, followed by holding at the desired temperature, thermally converts a dendritic structure of the material into a globular structure. The thermally converted metal preform is then recovered for subsequent use such as shaping into a desired article.

A free-machining alloy is disclosed containing bismuth, tin and indium. The free-machining constituents act as low melting point compounds for machining and are specially adapted for use in aluminum alloys such as AA6000 series and AA 2000 series alloys. The bismuth, tin and indium are effective replacements for the lead and bismuth addition used previously to improve machinability.

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/quenching operation and a sheet coiling operation. 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 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, 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.

An easy-open, stay-on-tab can end has a circular end wall with a large, substantially oval tear panel defined by a score line and a hinge. A rivet adjacent the tear panel connects a tab to the end wall. The width of the tear panel, as measured perpendicular to the diameter of the end wall, is substantially greater than its length. The opening formed by lifting the rear of the tab and displacing the tear panel downwardly about its hinge provides improved pourability and drinkability of the liquid contents of the can. The area of the tear panel is at least 0.50 in.sup.2. The tear panel extends substantially to the center of the end wall and may include an upwardly projecting, closed, predominantly oval bead having a portion generally following the outline of the bight of the score line. The front end of the tab extends over the bead and cooperates with it during opening.

Apparatus for 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.

A method of reducing the airburning tendency of petroleum coke and carbon anodes made therefrom includes calcining the coke and spray quenching the calcined coke with an additive-containing water. The additive includes an effective amount of a compound of aluminum which is soluble in the quench water. The additive is deposited on the quenched coke product surface and protects the coke from oxidation or premature combustion when in contact with the atmosphere at high temperatures. The additive-coated coke can then be formed into an anode which also has a reduced tendency to airburn during use in a high temperature environment such as an aluminum reduction cell or an electric furnace operation.

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