摘要:
The present invention is a method of forming a toner image on a receiving sheet. he method includes forming an electrostatic image on a primary image member and toning the image with a dry toner to form a toner image. The toner includes toner particles having a diameter of between 4 and 10 microns and transfer assisting particles appended to the toner particles surface. The transfer assisting particles have a diameter of between 20 and 100 nm. The toner image is transferred from the primary image member to an intermediate image member having an overcoat layer, the overcoat layer having a Young's modulus of from 250 to 500 MPa. The toner image is transferred from the intermediate image member to a receiving sheet wherein the intermediate image member drives the primary image member or the receiving sheet.

The toughness of Al-Li, Al-Mg and Mg-Li alloys is increased by a melting and refining process designed to reduce the concentration of alkali metal impurities below about 1 ppm and preferably below about 0.1 ppm. The hydrogen and chlorine gas constituents are also significantly reduced.
摘要:
A method for enhancing the mechanical properties of beryllium and beryllium alloy bodies by deforming and recrystalizing cast and hot pressed beryllium bodies to a finer grain microstructure than initially present in the bodies without introducing a pronounced crystallographic texture into the bodies. More particularly, the beryllium body undergoes a textureless forging process by which the body is plastically deformed at elevated temperatures with the resulting metal flow being restricted to only one axis of the body. The deformed body is then restored to essentially its original shape and annealed at its recrystalization temperature with a resulting refinement in grain size to a size smaller than that present in the initial body.

Aluminum-based products are disclosed which contain 0.5 to 4.5 wt % lithium and which further contain no more than 1 ppm of each of the alkali metal impurity elements sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. The products are capable of being aged to a peak-aged condition at which they have a grain boundary region substantially free of liquid phase eutectics comprised of sodium and potassium that form embrittlement phases at room temperature, and have a higher fracture toughness than a similar product containing more than 5 ppm in total of the alkali metal impurity elements.
摘要:
A method for making high ductility beryllium bodies by controlling beryllium oxide particle growth during hot pressing of beryllium powder to a maximum median size of 150 nm. More particularly, particle size is controlled by utilizing starting beryllium powder containing a maximum total concentration of aluminum, silicon and magnesium of 200 ppm and consolidating the powder at a maximum temperature of 1400.degree. F. Ductility is also enhanced by utilizing starting beryllium powder containing a maximum beryllium oxide volume fraction of 1.6 percent and annealing the consolidated powder at temperatures of from 2000.degree. to 2250.degree. F. The anneal can be a separate operation or a continuation of the hot pressing operation.

摘要:
Aluminum-base alloys in a peak-aged condition and magnesium-base alloys in the form of cast products and wrought products capable of having improved combinations of yield strength and fracture toughness are disclosed. The aluminum-base alloy products are comprised of 0.5 to 4.5 wt %. lithium, about 0.01 to 1 ppm Na, about 0.01 to 1 ppm K, less than 0.1 ppm Rb, less than 0.1 ppm Cs, and the remainder comprising aluminum. Aluminum-base alloy products in a peak-aged condition have: (i) a grain boundary region substantially free of liquid phase eutectics comprised of Na and K that form embrittlement phases at room temperature; and (ii) an increase in fracture toughness compared to an aluminum-lithium alloy having greater than 5 ppm aggregate alkali metal.
