Abstract:
A knockout has a support surface and the support surface has: (i) a first knockout outer diameter capable of supporting the first inner diameter of a container side wall when the knockout is inserted into an opening of the metal container and when the metal container is being necked with a necking die; and (ii) a second knockout outer diameter capable of supporting the second inner diameter of the container side wall when the knockout is inserted into the opening of the metal container and when the metal container is being necked with the necking die, and wherein the first knockout outer diameter is larger than the second knockout outer diameter.
Abstract:
New magnesium-zinc aluminum alloy bodies and methods of producing the same are disclosed. The new magnesium-zinc aluminum alloy bodies generally include 3.0-6.0 wt. % magnesium and 2.5-5.0 wt. % zinc, where at least one of the magnesium and the zinc is the predominate alloying element of the aluminum alloy bodies other than aluminum, and wherein (wt. % Mg)/(wt. % Zn) is from 0.6 to 2.40, and may be produced by preparing the aluminum alloy body for post-solutionizing cold work, cold working by at least 25%, and then thermally treating. The new magnesium-zinc aluminum alloy bodies may realize improved strength and other properties.
Abstract:
A device for thermal management of an electronic component includes an inner shell dimensioned to house an electrical circuit and a thermally conductive metal outer shell. The metal outer shell has a thickness less than 6.3246 mm; a first closed end having a first diameter and dimensioned to support an electronic component operably connected to the electrical circuit; and a second end having a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter. The inner shell is at least partially within the outer shell. The outer shell is comprised of a single metal sheet. The thinnest portion of the outer metal shell is less than or equal to 0.75 times the thickest portion of the outer metal shell.
Abstract:
An aluminum sheet comprises a 3XXX or a 5xxx alloy having a tensile yield strength as measured in the longitudinal direction of 27-33 ksi and an ultimate tensile strength; wherein the ultimate tensile strength minus the tensile yield strength is less than 3.30 ksi (UTS−TYS
