摘要:
In accordance with the invention, a reactive multilayer structure comprises alternating layers of materials that exothermically react by a self-propagating reduction/oxidation reaction or by a self-propagating reduction/formation reaction. This combination of a reduction reaction and either an oxidation or formation reaction can lead to ductile reaction products and is frequently accompanied by the generation of large amounts of heat. As compared with conventional multilayer foils, the new multilayer structures are easier to fabricate, easier to handle, and produce more reliable bonds.

In accordance with the invention a reactive multilayer foil is fabricated by providing an assembly (stack or multilayer) of reactive layers, inserting the assembly into a jacket, deforming the jacketed assembly to reduce its cross sectional area, flattening the jacketed assembly into a sheet, and then removing the jacket. Advantageously, the assembly is wound into a cylinder before insertion into the jacket, and the jacketed assembly is cooled to a temperature below 100null C. during deforming. The resulting multilayer foil is advantageous as a freestanding reactive foil for use in bonding, ignition or propulsion.
摘要:
A process for producing a bonded article of ceramic bodies comprising steps of: machining the ceramic bodies to be bonded to form machined surfaces with average surface roughnesses (Ra) of not more than 0.2 .mu.m and flatnesses of not more than 0.2 .mu.m; applying solution containing a bonding aid on at least one of the machined surfaces; contacting the machined surfaces with each other to produce an assembly; and subjecting the assembly to a heat treatment to produce the bonded article. The roughnesses and the flatnesses may preferably be not more than 0.1 .mu.m. The bonding aid may preferably be a sintering aid applicable to at least one of the ceramic bodies. The ceramic bodies may preferably be one or more material selected from a group consisting of aluminum nitride and silicon nitride. The bonding aid may preferably be one or more bonding aid selected from a group consisting of a substance of yttrium and a substance of ytterbium. In the article, a layer rich in elements contained in a bonding aid is formed along the bonding interface of the article and ceramic particles are grown across the bonding interface.

Metal-ceramic joined articles having a splendid joint strength can be provided easily, even when the metallic member has a largely different thermal expansion coefficient from that of the ceramic member of the metal-ceramic article.
摘要:
Refractory metals or ceramics are diffusion bonded or densified by assembling the workpieces to be bonded, wrapping the assembly with carbon yarn, heating the wrapped assembly, cooling the assembly and unwrapping. The expansion of the workpieces together with the shrinking of the carbon yarn produces tremendous pressures which cause bonding and densifying of the workpiece.
摘要:
A ceramic to metal joint particularly advantageous in a recuperator tube assembly, includes a ceramic tube and a spaced, circumferentially disposed metal sleeve. A bonding material is cast between the ceramic and metal members. A seal member has sufficient ductility within a predetermined thermal operating range to plastically deform and yet maintain an effective fluid seal between the ceramic and metal members. The present invention is particularly useful in the construction of a modular heat exchanger unit. Both individual tube assemblies and module units can be individually removed for cleaning, inspection, or replacement.
摘要:
There is provided a method of bonding an abrasive compact to a metal-containing support body, typically a body of cemented carbide, using solid state diffusion bonding techniques. The metal which is used for the diffusion bonding is nickel, copper, cobalt, iron or an alloy containing one or more of these metals.
摘要:
Oxygen sensor with a disc type solid electrolyte has the disc sealed in a shrinkable ceramic tube by the pressure which is developed and the surface glazing which takes place as the tube is fired. The tube is preferably formed of forsterite which can shrink about 25% during firing, thus causing the tube to become slightly bulged out in the region of the disc due to the interference fit produced by the shrinkage. The porous electrodes on the top and bottom surfaces of the disc are preferably omitted from a small region near one edge of the top and bottom surfaces but are continued as a stripe or band down the edge from a diametrically opposite portion of each surface, the stripes and unelectroded areas associated with the respective surfaces being spaced to prevent electrical shorting. The disc stripes are pressure bonded during firing of the tube to a pair of spaced lead stripes on the inside tube surface.
摘要:
A solid or perforated plate, serving as a support for a screen conveyor in paper-making machinery or the like, consists of a multiplicity of juxtaposed coplanar sections of sintered refractory, predominantly ceramic material joined to one another by thin layers of a bonding agent. The ceramic component, e.g. alumina, may be admixed with a small proportion of a vitreous substance facilitating the use of a siliceous bonding agent, such as glass, enamel or silicon carbide. Alternatively, the bonding agent may be a solder (with preliminary metallization of the adjoining section edges) or an organic cement.

Alternatively, the bonding agent may be a solder (with preliminary metallization of the adjoining section edges) or an organic cement.A method for making the plate includes filling gaps between the sections with a bonding agent of silicon carbide formed by melting pieces of graphite in the gaps in an atmosphere of silicon vapor, thereby uniting the sections.
