Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of light open porous components of metal, metal alloys, plastic or ceramic of any geometry. Here, the component is produced through casting liquid material into a casting device (01), wherein a core stack (04) is mounted, cast and removed in a casting mold (03). The core stack (04) here is designed as a regular multi-dimensional core lattice (09) with defined core lattice planes (12), where each core lattice plane (12) is constructed of individual regular core bodies (10).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a material of a three-dimensional framework of supporting, trabecular structures encompassing cavities which are connected with one another and which can be predeterminedly adjusted. The material is obtainable by forming the framework around the shaped bodies serving as space retainers for the cavities and subsequently removing the shaped bodies. The material according to the invention can be used for example as a implant or as a filter.
Abstract:
A process for making a porous mass of a metal of iron- or titanium-group comprises steps of forming a sinter of solvent-soluble particles, pressing in a molten metal of the iron- or titanium- group into open interstices in the sinter, and eluting the particles from the composite of the sinter and metal. Solvent-soluble magnesia particles whose surface is either covered or not with a film of boric anhydride or solvent-soluble calcia particles whose surface is either covered or not with film of calcium chloride are sintered and machined into the desired shape. The formed sinter is put in a case of a heat-insulating material that can withstand the melting temperature of a metal of iron- or titanium-group. After being heated to a given temperature together with the case, the sinter is immediately put in a metal mold where a molten metal of iron- or titanium-group is pressed into open interstices in the sinter. Then, only the particles are eluted from the sinter-metal composite by a solvent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a combustion reactor for nanopowders, a synthesis apparatus for nanopowers using the combustion reactor, and a method of controlling the synthesis apparatus. The combustion reactor for nanopowders comprises an oxidized gas supply nozzle connected to an oxidized gas tube; a gas supply unit supplying a fuel gas and a precursor gas; and a reaction nozzle forming concentricity on an inner wall of the oxidized gas supply nozzle to be connected to the gas supply unit and having an inlet opening for supplying an oxidized gas disposed at a region adjacent to a jet orifice for spraying flames. In the present invention, it is possible to precisely control the stability of flames, the uniform temperature distribution of flames and the temperature of flames that affect the properties of nanopowders, and the deposition of oxide in the combustion reactor is prevented to thus enable a continuous and uniform reaction for a long time, thereby enabling an economic and efficient synthesis of nanopowders.
Abstract:
A method for producing a sponge like metallic structure of which density of pores is controllable, organic blanks are selected according to the shapes and sizes of the pores to be shaped and are dipped with organic medium, the blanks are agglomerated in a step of accumulation and are baked for shaping, the blanks and the organic medium thus form a shaped embryo by adhering. The embryo is processed by dipping with refractory mortar in vacuum, and is dried to form a refractory layer, then is dealt with by sintering in high temperature to effect carbonizing and disappearance of the blanks and organic medium by burning, and forms shaped ceramic shells distributed with mutually communicating pores and communicating areas and with gaps around the pores and communicating areas. An equipment for vacuum founding is used to practice a preheating step on the shaped ceramic shells, and then pressing found the shaped ceramic shells which are cast with metallic melt to fill in the gaps and to envelop the communicating areas and pores, thus a metal article with porous sponge like structure having pores communicating with one another is formed.
Abstract:
Method and manufacture are provided for preparing a reticulated foam structure by: investing an organic reticulated foam structure with an inorganic composition, which composition is inert under the conditions for forming the reticulated structure; allowing the inorganic suspension to set to form an investment; removing the organic reticulated foam structure; filling the voids of the investment with a fluid composition to form a reticulated casting; and dissolving the investment so as to leave a reticulated foam structure casting.
Abstract:
A metal composite material is obtained by casting a melt of a metal and has an outer surface on which aluminum borate particles maintained in a porous form are exposed. Therefore, an oil is allowed to infiltrate the aluminum borate particles on the outer surface, to be retained therein and to ooze out during sliding. As a consequence, the sliding life during which desired sliding properties are maintained can be significantly prolonged. The metal composite material may be produced from a preform obtained by sintering aluminum borate particles covered with electrically neutralized silica and alumina particles which have been formed by mixing a silica sol and an alumina sol with aluminum borate particles in an aqueous solution to cover aluminum borate particles.

A method for producing metal with a porous sponge structure of which the shapes and sizes of the pores are controllable, including steps of selecting organic blanks according to the shapes and sizes of the pores to be shaped, selecting fractory mortar according to whether the sponge like metal to be made is an alloy of high melting point or of low melting point, and steps of dipping with mortar and drying of the organic blanks to have the blanks covered with refractory layers, sintering which carbonize and burn up the organic blanks in the refractory layers forms hollow ceramic balls (with granules of various desired sizes and shapes) which are graded and mixed according to the sponge structure to be arranged, accumulating the balls in a low pressure casting equipment for preheating and founding, thereby the hollow ceramic balls are agglomerated to form the porous sponge like structure which has a single or compound nature under control of low specific weight, compression strength, high toughness and the character of fire-proofing, sound insulation, heat insulation or magnetic wave disturbance-proofing.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to a novel method of preparing self-supporting bodies and to the novel products made thereby. In its more specific aspects, this invention relates to a method of producing self-supporting bodies having controlled porosity and graded properties and comprising one or more boron-containing compounds, e.g., a boride or a boride and a carbide. The method comprises, in one embodiment, reacting a powdered parent metal, in molten form, with a bed or mass comprising a boron carbide material and, optionally, one or more inert fillers, to form the body. In another embodiment, both of a powdered parent metal and a body or pool of molten parent metal are induced to react with a bed or mass comprising a boron carbide material and, optionally, one or more inert fillers. in addition, combustible additives (e.g., gelatin, corn starch, wax, etc.) can be mixed with the bed or mass comprising a boron carbide material to aid in the porisity producing process. When the self-supporting body of the instant invention is formed while in contact with a previously formed ceramic, metal or composite body, a bond can be formed between the two bodies, thus creating a macrocomposite body.
