摘要:
The invention includes a process for producing a reaction bonded silicon carbide composite reinforced with coated silicon carbide fibers which is suitable for high temperature applications. The process includes the steps of coating SiC fibers with AlN, BN or TiB.sub.2 ; treating the coated fibers with a mixture of SiC powder, water and a surfactant; preparing a slurry comprising SiC powder and water; infiltrating the coated fibers with the slurry to form a cast; drying the cast to form a green body; and reaction bonding the green body to form a dense SiC fiber reinforced reaction bonded matrix composite.The invention further includes a SiC fiber reinforced SiC composite comprising a reaction bonded SiC matrix, a SiC fiber reinforcement possessing thermal stability at high temperatures and an interface coating on the fibers having chemical and mechanical compatibility with the SiC matrix and with the SiC fibers.

Substrates are disclosed having an ultra-smooth surface finish thereon rendering them useful in making high density magnetic storage components, such as a computer hard disk or thin-film head which can read and/or write data on such disks. The substrates are comprised of a non-oxide ceramic base which is coated with a smoothing layer comprised of amorphous, non-stoichiometric silicon carbide corresponding to the formula SiC.sub.x, wherein x is the molar ratio of carbon to silicon and is greater than 1. Also disclosed are processes for making the substrates and components.

An aluminum nitride ceramic having desired properties suitable for electronic packaging applications can be prepared from a novel aluminum nitride powder/sintering aid mixture. The sintering aid comprises a glassy component formed from alumina, calcia and boria, and a non-vitreous component comprising an element or compound of a metal of Group IIa, IIIa, or the lanthanides, preferably crystalline oxides, reactibis with the crystallized glass component and the alumina from the Al N grains. Alternatively, the sintering aid comprises a multi-component glass composition capable of forming the above components upon melting and thereafter crystallizing upon reaction.

摘要:
A molten metal pump includes an impeller disposed at the end of an elongate drive shaft. The drive shaft is disposed within an elongate, hollow post. The impeller and the end of the post are adapted to be immersed in molten metal. An inert gas is conveyed through the gap between the outer surface of the drive shaft and the inner surface of the post, which gas is discharged into the molten metal in the vicinity of the impeller. Because the drive shaft is insulated from the molten metal, it can be made of a durable material such as steel; because the post is stationary relative to the molten metal, the metal is stirred only by the impeller, and not by the drive shaft. The invention includes other features such as a quick disconnect capability and a radial adjustment capability.
摘要:
A method for controlling the magnesium content of molten aluminum includes the steps of injecting a halogen gas into the molten aluminum, sampling a portion of the resulting gases evolved from the molten aluminum, detecting the presence of constituents in the sampled gases and/or characteristics of the sampled gases indicative of the imminent evolution of unreacted halogen gas, and adjusting the rate of halogen gas injection to approach the point where unreacted halogen gas is about to be evolved. In the preferred embodiment, the halogen gas is chlorine; the detected constituents are gaseous hydrogen chloride (CHl) and aluminum chlorhydrate compounds (Al.sub.2 Cl.sub.x .multidot.(OH).sub.6-x); and the detected characteristic is the opacity of the sampled gases. The invention includes a technique for adjusting the rate of halogen gas injection so as to approach the optimal rate. The invention also includes (1) a sensor for detecting the content of HCl and Al.sub.2 Cl.sub.x .multidot.(OH).sub.6-x and the opacity of the withdrawn gases, (2) apparatus for controlling the injection of halogen gas in response to detected conditions, and (3) molten aluminum having a desired content of magnesium produced by the method according to the invention.
摘要:
An impeller assembly is disclosed which is arranged to produce linear flow of fluid which prohibits radial flow of that fluid. An impeller is surrounded by a hollow cylindrical section mounted and fixed to the periphery of the impeller blades. The cylindrical section may extend either beyond the leading edges of the impeller blades or beyond the trailing edges of the impeller blades, or both, along the axis of rotation of the impeller assembly.
摘要:
An anode for plasma torch that has a primary section and a secondary section with a gradual transition between the sections. The diameter of the hollow primary section tapers down toward a transition zone, at which point the anode formed by the sections makes a gradual transition to the secondary section. The secondary section is cylindrical and has a diameter larger than that of the primary section from which the plasma exists the anode. The transition zone will describe a generally conical surface and may include a convex radius on the neck where the primary and transition sections meet.
