摘要:
A method of making a permanent magnet includes a step of providing an alloy powder comprising at least one rare earth element. The alloy powder is shaped and then exposed to microwave radiation or a pulsed electric current to form a sintered magnet.

Methods of making cast aluminum parts are also described.
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.
摘要:
A composite ceramic of the present invention includes granular alumina particles (A) having an aspect ratio of 3 or less, granular zirconia particles (B) having an aspect ratio of 3 or less, and a columnar crystal (C) having an aspect ratio of 3 or more, the columnar crystal including a complex metal oxide containing an alkaline-earth metal element and aluminum element. The composite ceramic has high flexural strength, toughness, and hardness, and achieves excellent hot-water resistance and high flexural strength after hydrothermal degradation resistance test.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A plurality of conductor bars are positioned within slots of a laminated electric steel disc stack, and the ends of the conductor bars are brazed to end rings to manufacture a rotor. The method includes inserting the conductor bars into the slots of the disc stack, providing the end rings with slots for receiving the ends of the conductor bars; positioning spacers of braze material adjacent each end of each of the conductor bars to create a gap between the end rings and the steel disc stack; and applying heat to melt the braze material of the spacers whereby braze material is furnished by the spacers of braze material to braze the first and second ends of the conductor bars to the first and second end rings. Channels are provided in the face of the end rings facing the steel disc stack to drain away excess braze material.
摘要:
A method of making a rotor is provided. The method includes mixing aluminum and carbon nanotubes; forming the mixture into an aluminum-carbon nanotube composite conductor bar; providing a laminated steel stack having a plurality of longitudinal slots; placing a plurality of the conductor bars in the longitudinal slots, first and second ends of the plurality of conductor bars extending out of the longitudinal slots; placing the laminated steel stack with the plurality of conductor bars in a casting mold having cavities for a pair of end rings wherein the first and second ends of the plurality of conductor bars extend into the cavities; and filling the cavities with aluminum, aluminum alloys, an aluminum composite, or combinations thereof. Rotors made from aluminum-carbon nanotube composite are also described.
