    摘要: A filament comprises a generally thin metal component, such as a sheet, ribbon, or foil. The filament comprises at least one emitter, at least one current-condensing structure and a tab on each end of the at least one emitter. Each tab is connectable to a support system, comprising for example a lead and attachment post. When a current is passed through the filament, the current-condensing structure establishes current flow through the filament resulting in a desired temperature distribution across the emitter, for example a substantially uniform temperature distribution. A predictive tool for determining a geometry of a filament to provide a desired temperature distribution is set forth. The filament may be curved, and methods and systems for providing a curved filament are also provided. Attachment systems are further disclosed for attaching an emitter to a support structure.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for locally and successively melting a material by induction heating using a horizontal floating-zone crucible to refine and/or analyze the material. An electromagnetic field is generated to create a localized molten zone within the material that is at least partially levitated within the crucible. The crucible has an upper peripheral opening so that an upper portion of the molten zone is generally at a higher temperature than the lower portion of the molten zone adjacent the crucible wall. As a result, insoluble inclusions within the material separate and float to the upper portion of the molten zone. The molten zone may be translated longitudinally through the material to drive the inclusions toward one end of the material. The process can be carried out to refine or characterize the material, or to determine the solidus and liquidus temperatures of the material.

    摘要: A furnace component having a tungsten-based substrate whose surface is protected by a rhenium-based layer in order to render the component less reactive to quartz, glass and other forms of silica. The layer preferably consists essentially of rhenium or rhenium with alloying additions of tungsten. The substrate may be formed of concentric layers of different tungsten-based alloys in order to tailor the physical and mechanical properties of the component. A preferred method of forming the rhenium layer is to wrap the substrate with a rhenium-based wire, and then heat the wire and substrate to sinter and bond the wire to the substrate. Alternatively, the substrate and rhenium layer can be formed by isostatic pressing. Both methods are performed so that the substrate and layer have densities of at least about 96% of their respective theoretical densities.

    摘要: A method for directional solidification (DS) of a molten material, and an apparatus therefor. The method generally entails the use of a container having a base and peripheral wall that define an interior of the container, an induction coil for heating the contents of the container and generating an electromagnetic field, and means for controllably separating the container from the heating means and the electromagnetic field, such as by withdrawing the container from the heating means and electromagnetic field. Using such an apparatus, a material is heated within the container to yield a melt that is substantially prevented from contacting the wall of the container as a result of being at least partially levitated by the electromagnetic field. The container is then separated, e.g., withdrawn from the heating means and the electromagnetic field so as to cause directional solidification of the melt while the majority of the melt remains spaced apart from the wall of the container, yielding a directionally solidified article whose composition has not been significantly affected by reactions with the container. The invention is particularly directed to the production of DS ingots of high temperature materials containing one or more reactive elements.
