Tungsten carbide coating and method for producing the same

New tungsten carbides alloyed with fluorine in amounts up to 0.5 wt % and possibly with fluorocarbon compositions are described. It is possible to produce them by means of a new process of chemical vapor deposition, in which tungsten hexafluoride, hydrogen and a carbon-containing gas are used. A specific feature of the new process is the preliminary thermal activation of the carbon-containing gas. The tungsten carbide coatings are deposited on construction materials and items made from them. They possess enhanced resistance to wear, corrosion and chemicals.

Electroless plating with nanometer particles

InactiveUS20060024514A1Increase hardnessImprovement to overall physical structureMaterial nanotechnologyLiquid surface applicatorsElectroless platingCorrosion
The addition of nanometer particles to electroless metal plating baths reduces or eliminates seeding in the electroless plating baths. The reduced seeding results in less inclusions or pitting in the coating. Usually the maintenance and frequent tank-cleaning schedule can be increased beyond the normal 2-3 day. The properties of the coating can be improved by the co-deposition of the particles into the bath. Properties such as hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance were improved.

Preform neck crystallization heating method

The present invention discloses a bottle mouth crystallization heating method, which makes use of external heat energy. When a preform is mounted onto a plug finger of a base by the preform, a first heating source directly heats the external side of the bottle mouth to crystallize the bottle mouth, and a second heating source heats the plug finger of the preform being exposed from the bottom of the plug finger, so that after a heat absorber absorbs the heat, the heat absorber conducts heat energy to the plug finger. The plug finger with heat energy heats the internal side of the bottle mouth simultaneously, therefore to disperse heat energy evenly and rapidly to the internal and external sides of the bottle mouth for crystallization.

WELDING FILLER WIRE FOR FUSION WELDING PRECIPITATION-HARDENED AUSTENITIC Fe-Mn-Al-C ALLOYS

A series of welding filler wires with innovative composition design for fusion welding precipitation-hardened lightweight austenitic Fe—Mn—Al—C alloys. The first class of the welding filler wires is composed of 23-34 wt. % Mn, 7.5-11.5 wt. % Al, 1.35-1.95 wt. % C, with the balance being essentially Fe. After fusion welding, there are high-density of nano-sized (˜3-5 nm) (Fe,Mn)3AlC carbides (κ-carbides) uniformly distributed within the austenite dendrite cells in the fusion zone (FZ). The amount of nano-sized (˜6-10 nm) κ-carbides existing within the eutectic regions is significantly increased and the size of the austenite dendrite cells is substantially reduced. The second class of welding filler wires has the composition of 23-34 wt. % Mn, 7.5-11.5 wt. % Al, 1.40-1.95 wt. % C, 0.1-2.5 wt. % Ti, 0.1-3.0 wt. % Nb, 0.1-2.5 wt. % V, with the balance being essentially Fe. The microstructure of the FZ in the as-welded condition results in formation of substantial amount of nano-sized (˜6-10 nm) face-centered-cubic structured ductile Ti-rich Ti-carbides, Nb-rich Nb-carbides and V-rich V-carbides within the eutectic regions. These carbides are extremely hard (2000˜3500 Hv), enhancing hardness of the obtained FZ.

Surface hardening method using post heat treatment of aluminum alloy oxide layer

Provided is a surface hardening method for surface hardening a sulfuric acid-anodized aluminum alloy oxide layer, which includes: pre-treatment in which various foreign substances, including an oxide film, attached to a surface of an aluminum alloy are removed; sealing treatment in which the aluminum alloy having been subjected to the pre-treatment is immersed in a sealing solution, whereby fine pores formed in a film are sealed; and heat treatment in which the aluminum alloy having been subjected to the sealing treatment is charged to, and thermally treated in, a heat treatment furnace and then naturally cooled. By lowering the withstand voltage of an aluminum alloy oxide layer and increasing the hardness by subjecting the same to sealing treatment and subsequent post-heat treatment, the present invention has the effect of providing an environmentally-friendly and crack-free lightweight material that can replace steel products.

ActiveUS7618524B1High fluid pressureIncrease hardnessCellsSludge treatmentIonSalt bridge
A “cast-in-place” monolithic microporous polymer salt bridge for conducting electrical current in microfluidic devices, and methods for manufacture thereof is disclosed. Polymeric salt bridges are formed in place in capillaries or microchannels. Formulations are prepared with monomer, suitable cross-linkers, solvent, and a thermal or radiation responsive initiator. The formulation is placed in a desired location and then suitable radiation such as UV light is used to polymerize the salt bridge within a desired structural location. Embodiments are provided wherein the polymeric salt bridges have sufficient porosity to allow ionic migration without bulk flow of solvents therethrough. The salt bridges form barriers that seal against fluid pressures in excess of 5000 pounds per square inch. The salt bridges can be formulated for carriage of suitable amperage at a desired voltage, and thus microfluidic devices using such salt bridges can be specifically constructed to meet selected analytical requirements.
