摘要:
A substantially metal-free exhaust subsystem includes an exterior housing formed of polymer; and a pipe formed of a layered fibers formed at least partially of glass, and bound by an inorganic binder. The fibers may be glass or ceramic, and may define micro-pores on the interior of the pipe that aid in absorbing acoustic energy, and thereby attenuating exhaust noise.

The present invention provides for a manufacturing apparatus for forming a ceramic preform from an extrudate having a first end and a second end. A cutter forms the first and second ends of the extrudate complementary to each other such that the first and second ends of the extrudate align with each other in a spaced relationship to define a preform having a substantially uniform exterior surface and a substantially uniform thickness. The present invention provides for a method of forming the preform from the extrudate having the first and second ends utilizing a mandrel. The method includes the step of aligning the second end complementary to the first end of the first layer in a spaced relationship to define the preform having the substantially uniform exterior surface and the substantially uniform thickness.

A process and apparatus are disclosed for production casting of railroad ties and the like to obtain maximum mold utility. The casting is accomplished by arranging tendons within a mold and subjecting them to an appropriate tensile stress. Uncured concrete is then introduced at a temperature of around 80.degree. C.-90.degree. C. The mold is vibrated and subsequently closed. It is then maintained at 60.degree. C.-80.degree. C. for a time sufficient to cure the concrete such that the prestressing mechanism can be released. The mold may then be immediately re-used. One mechanism by which the molds may be closed during the curing process in most efficient manner is to employ succeeding molds in a stacked arrangement to cover each preceding mold cavity. A single piece conical locking member is also employed to anchor the tendon in the mold.
摘要:
A shell having an outer surface with the configuration of a surface of the molded or shaped product is fabricated from several layers of a resinous thermosettng compound. Heat sink elements are embedded in the shell adjacent to the outer surface of the shell and have portions extending into the shell cavity. The shell cavity has a porous fill comprising substantially spherical cellular ceramic nodules bonded to each other and having interconnecting interstitial voids. The open end portion of the shell is sealed by a layer of resinous material with a fluid inlet and outlet for circulation of cooling fluid through the shell cavity. A plurality of capillaries extend from the outer surface of the shell to a common conduit which provides a suction or negative pressure between the mold outer surface and the material to be shaped. The mold is constructed by first applying a thin layer of thermosetting resin or low melt metallic alloy to the surface of a pattern having guide pins with capillary tubes thereon. A second layer of resin is applied to the first layer and the heat sink elements are embedded in the second layer closely adjacent to the first layer. A third relatively thick structural layer of thermosetting resin including fillers is applied to the first layer to form the mold shell. The inner cavity of the mold shell is filled with a mixture of cellular ceramic nodules and thermosetting resin to form a relatively rigid porous fill having interconnecting interstitial voids. The capillary tubes are connected to a common conduit in a separation box. The cavity is sealed by a layer of resinous material with fluid inlet and outlet connections therein. The mold so formed is suitable for use in either vacuum, extrusion or blowing molding processes.
