摘要:
This vane type compressor includes: a main body comprising a cylinder block formed with a bore and end members closing the ends of the bore; a rotor received within the main body in the bore so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in its longitudinal direction, its surface being formed with several slots extending in its longitudinal direction; and several vanes, each slidably fitted into one of the slots with its outer edge bearing against the inside surface of the bore in the main body. The material from which the vanes are formed is a composite material, comprising carbon and a metal including a substantial proportion of aluminum, and further including a substantial quantity of aluminum carbide, which holds the composite material together well and prevents the metal from coming away therefrom. This aluminum carbide may lie between the carbon and the reinforcing metal, and may be in a quantity of from about 1% to about 20%. The rotor may be made from cast iron, or from a material which has a similar coefficient of thermal expansion to the material for the vanes; this means that the vanes always fit well into the slots, no matter what may be the operating temperature of the compressor.

A valve sealing device is proposed consisting of two parts, one of which contacts the body of the valve and is made of an expanded graphite compact or an expanded graphite--inorganic binder composite compact, and the other of which contacts the valve member and is made of a carbonaceous material--metallic material composite, a carbonaceous material impregnated with an inorganic binder, or a metallic material; a valve using such a sealing device is also proposed.

Composite sheets comprising expanded graphite, a sheet-like metallic core inserted therein and, if desired, a binder for the expanded graphite. In one embodiment, gaskets are prepared from the composite sheets.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of graphite-clad nuclear fuel rods comprising coating fine particles of a nuclear fuel such as uranium oxide or thorium oxide with a matrix material containing graphite powder and a binder to form matrix material-coated globules, charging the thus-formed globules, without or after being pre-molded into a green rod-like fuel compact, into the rubber mold of a rubber press molding machine, charging a similar matrix material in the gap between the globules or rod-like fuel compact and the inner wall of the rubber mold, compressing the whole mass in the direction from the side face of the whole mass to the axis thereof to form a green, graphite coat material-coated fuel compact, baking the thus-formed green fuel compact at a temperature of up to 1800.degree. C and, if desired, impregnating the baked product with a resin followed by being rebaked at a temperature of up to 1800.degree. C; and the graphite-clad nuclear fuel rods.
