摘要:
Greater emphasis has been placed on smoothness of the floating surface for the applications with floating height of 10 nm or less. To obtain a smooth floating surface, it must be polished with diamond abrasive having a mean particle size of 0.1 μm or less, and conventional ceramic sintered body has poor machinability and it is impossible to use the magnetic heads made of this ceramic sintered body at a floating height of 10 nm or less.The ceramic sintered body according to the present invention contains Al2O3 crystal grains, internal TiC crystal grains existing in the Al2O3 crystal grains and external TiC crystal grains other than the internal TiC crystal grains. The Al2O3 crystal grains and the external TiC crystal grains retain stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient remaining after sintering, so that the Al2O3 crystal grains and the external TiC crystal grains pull each other in the interface therebetween. As a result, when the ceramic sintered body is machined, micro-cracks generated in the interface can easily grow due to the residual stress in addition to the shearing force caused by the machining operation, so that machinability is improved.

摘要:
A substrate for a magnetic read/write head is disclosed. The substrate can reduce detachment of crystal grains when the substrate is machined. The substrate may be machined when the substrate is cut into strips or a flow path surface recess is formed to produce the magnetic read/write head. The reduced detachment of crystal grains makes the magnetic read/write head more resilient to chipping, which allows the magnetic read/write head to have a lower and more stable flying height that increases recording density.

摘要:
A method of preparing a titanium-based metal matrix composite. In one form, titanium hydride can be added to substantially pure titanium, an alloying material and a source of boron such that a mixture of these materials can be compacted and sintered in a powder metallurgy process to produce a component made up of a titanium boride reinforced titanium alloy. In another form, the substantially pure titanium, alloying material and source of boron could be vigorously mixed (with or without the titanium hydride) to such an extent that oxide films that may have built up on the titanium precursor can be removed to minimize the presence of oxygen in the manufactured component.

A cast iron exhaust manifold having an inside surface covered with a ceramic coating comprising, by weight, about 30% to about 70% unfused silica, about 5% to about 30% magnesia, about 5% to about 20% alumina and about 3% to about 10% sodium oxide. The coating will preferably be built up in multiple layers at least one of which is relatively porous and another is relatively dense resulting from vacuum degassing of the slurry used to deposit the coating.
摘要:
Non destructive adhesion testing of coatings to substrates. A supersonic jet of water is impinged against the coating. The impingement intensity of the jet is set at a predetermined "failure intensity" determined by testing of a sample having a minimum acceptable level of adhesion. Parts passing through the supersonic jet unscratched pass the test. Parts whose coatings debond when impacted by the jet fail the test.
