Abstract:
A primary product comprising tungsten or molybdenum accommodated in a container 1 is heated at 500.degree. C. with 1000 atmospheric pressure in an Ar gas atmosphere and retained for 1 hour. According to the present invention, the crystal orientation in the (110) face can be 99% or more, and thus a material with a good electron radiation characteristic can be obtained.
Abstract:
Methods for forming an electrode for use in forming a honeycomb extrusion die. The method includes forming, by means of an additive manufacturing process, an electrode includes a base having a web extending from the base. The web defines a matrix of cellular openings. The method further includes forming a secondary electrode having a plurality of pins. The plurality of pins are shaped and arranged so as to mate with the matrix of cellular openings defined by the web of the electrode. The method further includes machining the electrode using the secondary electrode to smooth surfaces of the electrode formed by the additive manufacturing process.
Abstract:
A gas path component for a gas turbine engine includes a film cooling hole disposed in the gas path component. The film cooling hole includes a metering section, a diffuser, and a tapered surface extending between the metering section and the diffuser. The tapered surface is oriented between twenty degrees and seventy degrees with respect to a centerline axis of the metering section. The tapered surface is oriented at an obtuse angle with respect to an immediately adjacent surface of the diffuser, the obtuse angle is open towards the centerline axis. The tapered surface is configured to mitigate flow separation in the diffuser.

Abstract:
In electro-discharge machining by using an electro-discharge machining electrode of a Cu(Ag)—W(Mo) material, the machining speed, the electrode wear ratio, and the surface roughness of a work piece are improved. For this purpose, to the Cu(Ag)—W(Mo) material, borates of an element selected from a group (M3) consisting of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, Y, and lanthanide and an iron group metal are added by appropriate amounts. As the borate compounds, particularly, it is preferred to use borate compounds expressed by M32B2O5 and M3B2O4.
