    摘要: A non-metallic flange isolation gasket kit sealing flanged pipeline connections and flanged vessel connections while providing electrical isolation protection between flanges suited for high-pressure and high-temperature cathodic protection applications is presented. The invention protects flange faces from media induced corrosion and mitigates flange rotation induced fatigue and failures. The invention comprises of a retainer, a seal, and a seal pre-load structural ring. The seal pre-load structural ring is inserted into the seal, and seal outer diameter surface is joined to the retainer inner diameter surface. A second embodiment comprises of a composite gasket blank, comprising of a retainer and a seal, and a seal pre-load structural ring. The seal outer diameter surface and the retainer inner diameter surface are joined by thermal fusion bonding. The invention may further comprise one or more gasket seating stress stabilizers and/or a centering ring. Tapered retainer upper and lower surfaces decrease flange rotation.

    摘要: A fibre reinforced composite product can be made by first forming a scaffold structure (400) with a set of tubes (408) running within the product interior, using a digital printing process. Using a carrier fluid, the tube lumens are invested with fibres and then matrix material. The carrier fluid may enter through the end of a tube connecting with an input manifold (920) and exit the tube radially via a capillary (904, 908) which runs alongside the tube.

    摘要: Hardfacing materials include a polymer matrix material and particles of hard material embedded within and dispersed throughout the polymer matrix material. Earth-boring tools include a tool body and a hardfacing material on at least a portion of a surface of the body, wherein the hardfacing material includes a polymer matrix material and particles of hard material embedded within and dispersed throughout the polymer matrix material. Methods of applying hardfacing material to an earth-boring tool comprise mixing hard particles with a polymer precursor material to form a paste, applying the paste to a surface of an earth-boring tool, and curing the polymer precursor material to form a hardfacing material on the surface of the earth-boring tool.
