摘要:
In a method of remelting metallic materials, particularly nickel-based superalloys, in which the melting operation is carried out in a cooled copper crucible under clean vacuum conditions by means of electromagnetic inductors, the magnetic field applied to the mass of molten metal has a frequency between 50 Hz and 5.times.10.sup.6 Hz, preferably between 5.times.10.sup.3 Hz and 5.times.10.sup.5 Hz, so as to effect simultaneously electromagnetic stirring of the liquid metal and a surface concentration at the cold walls of the mass to be recast of all the non-conductive particles, especially ceramic inclusions, thereby achieving an inclusion decanting.

A dispenser is provided which is adapted to be used in connection with a hopper for distribution of a granular and/or powdered product, said dispenser having a rotary star-shaped distributor on which is mounted a plurality of crenellated radial blades which upon rotation move between two parallel walls at right angles to the axis of rotation, one wall being an upstream wall and the other a downstream wall, each having at least one cut-out nonaligned with the cut-out in the other, one cut-out being an inlet on the upstream wall and another one an outlet on the downstream wall, the upstream wall having on its inner face at least one stud which is disposed in line with the outlet and the edge of each crenellated radial blade being so crenellated that the recessed surface of the crenellation matches the projecting stud or studs of the upstream wall whereby a constant measured quantity of granular and/or powdered product is dispensed.BACKGROUND
摘要:
A method of shaping an aspherical optical element, such as a composite mirror element, the method comprising the following steps:fastening, preferably by adhesive, an optical element blank, presenting an optical surface that is to be shaped, to the inside of a ring, the optical surface of the blank projecting beyond an edge of said ring;applying forces and moments to the perimeter of the ring in such a manner as to deform it in controlled manner, thereby also deforming the optical surface of the blank fastened to its inside;shaping said deformed optical surface by abrasion so as to restore it to a shape that is spherical or planar; andextracting the blank from the ring so as to release the stresses deforming said shaped optical surface, thereby enabling it to acquire the desired aspherical shape.
