Abstract: A process for making fine and ultra-fine metallic fibers is disclosed comprising arranging a multiplicity of metallic wires to form an assembly of the metallic wires. The assembly of the metallic wires is wrapped with a wrapping material to form a wrapped assembly. A plurality of the wrapped assemblies are inserted into a tube for providing a cladding. The cladding is drawn for reducing the outer diameter thereof and for reducing the cross-section of each of the multiplicity of metallic wires within the cladding to transform the multiplicity of metallic wires into a multiplicity of fine or ultra-fine metallic fibers. The cladding is removed for providing the multiplicity of fine or ultra-fine metallic fibers. In one example, the metallic wires are coated with a coating material formed from the same material as the wrapping material and the cladding material.

Abstract: Metal and ceramic particles of various morphologies are clad with a coating from the transistion metal group consisting of silver, gold, copper, nickel, iron, cobalt, aluminum etc., or combinations thereof, to provide improved coated particles for microelectronics or metal matrix composites or other uses. Refractory metal precursor core particles, such as tungsten, molybdenum, niobium and zirconium, as examples, are provided from a composite of tungsten and copper, for example, made by pressurizing and infiltrating or liquid phase sintering of molten copper into a porous tungsten skeleton. Precursor chip particles derived from a tungsten impregnated billet are used as starter particles which may be further enhanced by cogrinding in an attritor ball mill with smaller copper particles to thereby produce an enhanced copper clad-coating of tungsten particles with predetermined percent by weight of copper and tungsten content. The resulting particles exhibit improved electrical and thermal expansion coefficient matching properties for use on microelectronic ceramic substrates and when used for metal matrix composites, provides more uniform distribution of the dispersed strengthening particulate phase in the matrix. In another embodiment, ceramic particles are clad-coated with selected metals so that they can be used in ceramic-metal matrices, thereby producing systems wherein the components are uniformly dispersed throughout the system.

Abstract: The apparatus and method for processing steel strand wire cable and the like for use in prestressed concrete is disclosed in which the outer surface of the cable produced has a substantial pure rust or hydrated oxide coating thereon enabling the cable to be utilized immediately in concrete configurations to thereby produce substantially higher flexural strengths in prestressed concrete than heretofore in the prior art. The apparatus and method specifically encompasses the use of ultransonic cleaning equipment which causes cavitation cleaning effects in the liquid medium through which the cable passes during its cleaning process. In effect, the ultrasonic cleaning "catalyzes" the chemical redox reactions by removing all surface inhibitors and reducing reactant diffusion barriers thus accelerating surface wetting of the strand cable with H.sub.2 O and O.sub.2, such that the rusting chemical reactions can occur spontaneously. The dominant bond developed between the steel and concrete is chemical. The bonding or wetting agent is ferro-orthosilicate, formed by the reaction of pure rust (FeO.Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3) with silicates (SiO.sub.2) in the cement mixture used for making the concrete structure.

Abstract: Electrical contact tape having a base portion of nickel, copper or nickel-copper alloy and an overlay of metallic material on said base portion is improved by utilizing for such overlay a gold-nickel alloy of which the precentage by weight of nickel is in the range of from about 1.8% to 2.3%, the balance of the alloy being gold with or without one or more other metals other than nickel in trace amounts insufficient to produce precipitation thereof out of solution in the gold. Nibs of such tape are bonded to a leaf spring to form an electromechanical junction therewith, the gold-nickel alloy overlay of the nib being on its side away from the spring to provide an improved electrical contact surface for the spring contact assembly formed by such nib and spring.
