This invention relates to a process for making metal wire, comprising: (A) forming metal foil; (B) cutting said foil to form at least one strand of metal wire; and (C) shaping said strand of wire to provide said strand with desired cross-sectional shape and size. This process is particularly suitable for making copper wire, especially copper wire having a very thin diameter (e.g., about 0.0002 to about 0.02 inch).

摘要:
A method and means for catalytically removing impurities found in the exhaust stream emanating from the internal combustion engine is provided. Such exhaust gases are initially brought into contact with a metallic oxidation catalyst at a temperature sufficient to cause a significant amount of the unreacted oxygen present to be removed therefrom by reacting it with oxidizable materials in the exhaust gases, with the oxidation catalyst employed being characterized by its lack of activity with respect to converting nitrogen and hydrogen found in exhaust gases into ammonia. The so-treated exhaust gases are then brought into contact with a nitrogen oxide (NO.sub.x) reducing catalyst, which is also characterized by its lack of activity with respect to converting nitrogen and hydrogen found in the exhaust gases into ammonia, at a temperature sufficient to cause nitrogen oxide gases in the exhaust gases to be catalytically reduced. Subsequently, the resultant exhaust gases are then brought into contact with an oxidation catalyst in an oxygen containing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to cause carbon monoxide and gaseous hydrocarbons present in the exhaust gases to be oxidized to less harmful substances.

The article includes a self-supporting catalytic structure in the form of an apertured, thin metal foil having a ratio of low mass to high surface area. In its preferred form, the foil is an expanded metal foil and is formed by tightly winding the foil into a plural layer helical coil.
摘要:
A mixture of metals composed predominantly of aluminum and the balance bearing phase materials are heated to a molten state, ejected through an orifice and atomized by impinging a stream of cold water against the molten metal to effect a rapid drop in temperature as well as solidifcation. A layer of the resulting pre-alloyed particles are roll compacted simultaneously with a sacrificial surface layer and a bottom bonding layer, both being composed of aluminum base particulate materials. The bottom layer is devoid of bearing phase materials. The tri-layer strip is sintered, roll clad onto a backing member and post-annealed, blanked and formed into a bearing which is bored to remove the sacrificial layer.
