Abstract: A technique is described for bonding flexible printed circuitry to a rigid base plane by means of a tacky contact adhesive which is subsequently cured by heating into a nontacky condition. The procedure involves pressing the adhesive on the surface of a rigid support member to which it adheres and subsequently applying a flexible sheet thereto and laminating under moderate pressure. The adhesive is then removed from through holes with a solvent and the resultant assembly subjected to heating to cure the adhesive. It has been found that the use of this procedure permits removal of the solvent without detrimental solvent retention and also avoids the collecting of debris at the edge of the adhesive layer during subsequent processing and use.

Abstract: Alloy compositions based on ternary alloys of the chromium-cobalt-iron system modified by addition of zirconium molybdenum, niobium, vanadium, titanium, and/or aluminum, are found to manifest improved formability. Exemplary compositions are magnetic and evidence coercivities of 350-550 Oe., remanent magnetizations of from 10,000 - 7,500 Gauss, and maximum energy products in excess of one million. Improvement in formability may take the form of room temperature stamping, sometimes in air, to final configurations including curvatures of radius equal to thickness. Novel compositions particularly desirable from such standpoint necessarily contain zirconium together with aluminum, niobium, and/or titanium.
