Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of a metallic powder consisting of surface-fissured, so-called irregular particles, namely a water-atomised metallic powder. The aim of the invention is to obtain an irregular surface form of powder grains (23) in a narrow weight class and to impart a high porosity with a homogeneous distribution to the sintered body. To this end, in a first step, the pouring stream (2) is deviated in its flow direction and is enlarged on its surface, and in a second step, the surface-enlarged pouring stream (21) is deviated again its flow direction and is divided, and the liquid metallic particles (22) formed are accelerated, and in a third step, the displaced liquid metallic particles (22) are applied and divided, at an angle null of between 10 and 90null in relation to the displacement direction of the same, with a high speed current (51) formed at least partially from a liquid medium, and the particles (23) are then solidified. According to one embodiment of the invention, in order to reduce the overheating of the metal melt and/or to improve the quality of the metallic powder produced, the pouring stream (2) is deviated in its flow direction and a surface enlargement of the same (21) is carried out, in a first method step, and/or the surface-enlarged pouring stream (21) is deviated and divided, and the formed liquid metallic particles (22) are accelerated, in the second method step, with at least one current (6,31,41) formed from at least one heated gas or heated gas mixture.
Abstract:
The method according to the invention of connecting a metal fastening element (1) to a metal workpiece (5), wherein the fastening element (1) comprises a carrier (2), which carries a solder material (3), to which the carrier (2) is connected in an electrically conductive manner, comprises the following process steps: the solder material (3) is introduced into an indentation (8) in the carrier (2) and provided with a convex contour (4) directed towards the workpiece (5) to be soldered; a voltage is applied between the fastening element (1) and the workpiece (5) so an electrical arc (6) between solder material (3) and workpiece (5) effects a selective melting-on of the solder material (3); the fastening element (1) is pressed against the workpiece (5). The method as well as the fastening element (1), which is suitably designed for said method with a contour (4) of the solder material (3) directed towards the workpiece (5) to be soldered, is notable for the fact that a local, selective melting of the solder material (3) is achieved and unnecessary thermal loading of surrounding regions is avoided. Thus, a particularly stable solder joint is achieved between fastening element (1) and workpiece (5).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and method for determining parameters of a welding system. According to the invention, a welding area (18, 21, 22) is subjected to the action of ultrasonic waves, preferably to the action of shear waves, by using an ultrasound source (14). During a first welding process (n1), a signal processing (30)) determines a first ultrasonic permeability (Dn1) from a received ultrasonic signal (UE). During at least one subsequent welding process (n2), a second ultrasonic permeability (Dn2) is determined from an ultrasonic signal (UE) that is received during a renewed exposure of the welding area (18, 21, 22) to ultrasonic waves. A display (32) and/or a diagnostic function and/or a correction of control quantities of the welding system is/are carried out as a function of the at least two ultrasonic permeabilities (Dn1, Dn2).
Abstract:
A method of producing a multilayer wired circuit board that can provide sufficient adhesion strength of the interface between a conductor layer and a thermosetting adhesive layer laminated, to provide improvement in connection strength between the conductor layers and thus improvement in reliability. In this method, after a thermosetting adhesive layer is formed on a first conductor layer, an opening is formed in the thermosetting adhesive layer and solder powders are charged in the opening at normal temperature. Sequentially, a second conductor layer is formed on the thermosetting adhesive layer including the opening filled with the solder powders. Thereafter, the solder powders are melted by heating, to electrically connect between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer.

Abstract:
An electrical connector is soldered or affixed to a conductive element of a glass sheet of a vehicular window via radiation heating of a layer of solder with an infrared radiative heating device. The heating device may include an infrared lamp and a reflector, which functions to direct the radiant energy from the lamp to a target region generally corresponding with the location of the solder layer between the electrical connector and the conductive element. The heating device is operable to rapidly and substantially heat the solder layer to a desired temperature to melt the solder layer, while substantially limiting directing of heat to the glass sheet. The electrical connector may be affixed at a vehicular or modular window assembly plant, such that the glass sheet may be transported from a glass manufacturing plant to the vehicular or modular window assembly plant without the electrical connector.
