Abstract:
A deposition wire of the powder-in-tube type comprises a hollow tubular portion of titanium and a core portion filling the tubular portion. The core portion occupiesbetween (30) volume % and (80) volume % of the deposition wire. The core portion comprises compacted elongated powders of titanium and possibly also comprisesother compacted powders selected from the group consisting of aluminium, vanadium, aluminium-vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, boron, niobium, tantalum, nickel, zirconium, silicon, copper, tin, iron and palladium.Due to the high volume of the core portion, the process of making the wire is less complex.
Abstract:
A steel cord comprises two or more steel wires that are twisted together, the steel wires have a carbon content of more than 0.70%in weight, at least one of the steel wires has a diffusible hydrogen amount from 0.001 ppm to 0.35 ppm and a non-diffusible hydrogen amount from 0.001 to 0.60 ppm. The steel cord has high breaking load and low production cost.
Abstract:
Helical compression spring for use in an actuator for opening and closing a door or a tailgate of a car has an outer diameter between 15 and 50 mm and comprises a helically coiled steel wire. The steel wire has a non-circular cross-section with an equivalent diameter d (in mm) of the steel wire is between 1 mm and 12 mm. The cross-section may have at least two opposing parallel sides. The cross-section further has rounded edges, wherein the rounded edges have a radius of curvature ranging from 0.10 mm to 5.0 mm. The microstructure of the steel wire in the helical compression spring is cold deformed pearlite. In comparison with helical compression springs with round cross-sections, the non-round helical compression springs may occupy less space or reach higher breaking loads within the same space.
Abstract:
A roll of chain link steel wire mesh comprises marks provided according to a regular pattern over the surface of the steel wire mesh. The marks are provided by tape attached to the chain link steel wire mesh. A method to manufacture such roll of chain link steel wire mesh is disclosed as well as a method of lining a tunnel wall or ceiling or a soil or slope with steel wire mesh using the roll of chain link steel wire mesh.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drawing die and the associated nib holder. The nib holder is construed such that at least 20% of the nib mantle surface remains exposed to the coolant during drawing in a limited number e.g. two, three up to twelve disjoint areas. In this way a sufficient cooling of the nib is guaranteed. The nib holder comprises a base plate with protruding clamps that hold the nib. The nib holder is made of a single piece of material. An associated method to insert the nib into the nib holder is also described.
Abstract:
A superconductor (10, 30) has a twisted structure and is adapted to form windings in a superconducting coil. The superconductor (10, 30) comprises at least one superconductor wire. The superconductor further comprises at least one elongated electrical insulation element (18, 37). The elongated electrical insulation element(s) (18, 37) is/are twisted with or around the superconductor wire(s) in order to create a separation distance with an adjacent superconductor wire in a neighbouring winding, The elongated electrical insulation element(s) (18, 37) and the superconductor wire(s) may be twisted in one and the same twisting operation.
Abstract:
A composite article comprising at least one metal reinforcement element embedded in a polymer material, said metal reinforcement element being at least partially coated with an adhesion promoting layer, said adhesion promoting layer being interposed between said metal reinforcement element and said polymer material, characterized in that said adhesion promoting layer comprises an acid anhydride-grafted polyolefin and a phenolic antioxidant.
Abstract:
An impact absorbing device (100) comprises at least one tube (102). This tube (102) has a wall that is provided with two holes (104, 106) at a first side and two holes (108, 110) at a second side. The device further comprises a first rope (112) and a second rope (118). The first rope (112) passes through the tube (102) or tubes starting from a first hole (104) at the first side and going to a first hole (108) at the second side. This first rope (112) is provided at its one end with a thickening (116) that prevents the first rope (112) from slipping back through the tube (102) or tubes. The second rope (118) passes through the tube (102) or tubes starting from a second hole (110) at the second side and going to a second hole (106) at the first side. The second rope (118) is provided at its one end with a thickening (122) that prevents the second rope (118) from slipping back through the tube (102) or tubes.
