Abstract: A method for the manufacture of metallically encapsulated ceramic armor through the use of low pressure processing methods in autoclave furnaces or brazing furnaces.
Abstract: A method for the manufacture through diffusion bonding of metallically encapsulated ceramic armor providing enhanced ballistic efficiency and physical durability.
Abstract: A recuperative heat exchanger with a catalyst comprises a heat exchanger core composed of a plurality of spaced apart plate members. The plate members are positioned in adjacent and substantially parallel relationship. The plate members define a first plurality of passageways and a second plurality of passageways which extend between the spaced apart plate members. The first plurality of passageways is separate from the second plurality of passageways. The first plurality of passageways is disposed for receiving high temperature exhaust gases while the second plurality of passageways is disposed for receiving supply air. A catalyst material, comprising a support material coated or impregnated with a suitable catalytic agent for removal of pollutants, is disposed within the first plurality of passageways.
