Abstract:
A method of forming a metal-graphene composite includes coating metal components (10) with graphene (14) to form graphene-coated metal components, combining a plurality of the graphene-coated metal components to form a precursor workpiece (26), and working the precursor workpiece (26) into a bulk form (30) to form the metal-graphene composite. A metal-graphene composite includes graphene (14) in a metal matrix wherein the graphene (14) is single-atomic layer or multi-layer graphene (14) distributed throughout the metal matrix and primarily (but not exclusively) oriented with a plane horizontal to an axial direction of the metal-graphene composite.

A high frequency cable includes: a central conductor made from aluminum or an aluminum alloy; a covering layer made from copper covering the central conductor, and having a fiber-like structure in a longitudinal direction; and an intermetallic compound layer formed between the central conductor and the covering layer and having greater volume resistivity than the covering layer, wherein a cross-sectional area of the covering layer is 15% or less of an entire cross-sectional area including the central conductor, the intermetallic compound layer and the covering layer.

Abstract:
Provided is a die for shear drawing capable of performing continuous drawing and shear deformation at the same time. The die for shear drawing includes a material processing channel in which a material is sheared and drawn while passing therethrough, wherein the processing channel includes an inlet path positioned at a front end thereof, and an outlet path positioned at a rear end thereof, when viewed from a movement direction of a material. The inlet path and the outlet path are connected to intersect a central axes thereof at a certain angle, and the processing channel includes a cross-section reduction segment allowing an outlet cross-sectional area of the outlet path to be smaller than an inlet cross-sectional area of the inlet path to thereby draw out a material from an exit of the outlet path with the material filled therein.
Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment of the invention provides a method for producing an ultra thin wall metallic tube by cold working method with significant wall thickness reduction. In a method for producing the metallic tube with a cold pilger mill according to the invention, cold rolling is performed while tube diameters are being expanded using rolls having tapered groove dies whose calibers increase from an engaging entry side toward a finishing exit side. In a method for producing the metallic tube with a drawing machine according to the invention, cold drawing is performed while the tube diameters are being expanded using a solid die whose calibers increase from an engaging entry side toward a finishing exit side and a plug of a tapered mandrel bar whose diameters increase from an entry side of the die toward an exit side. In the metallic tube producing method, a maximum diameter of the plug or tapered mandrel bar may be larger than an outside diameter of the mother tube.

Bonding wires for sophisticated bonding applications may be efficiently formed on the basis of a corresponding template device that may be formed on the basis of semiconductor material, such as silicon, in combination with associated fabrication techniques, such as lithography and etch techniques. Hence, any appropriate diameter and cross-sectional shape may be obtained with a high degree of accuracy and reliability.
