Publication number: 20140219860Abstract: A process for producing formed parts made of an aluminum alloy, including the steps of exposing the aluminum alloy to high shearing forces in a mixing and kneading machine, feeding the liquid aluminum alloy to the working space at one end of the housing and, at the other end of the housing, removing from the working space the liquid aluminum alloy now formed as a partially solid aluminum alloy with a predefined solids content, and processing the partially solid aluminum alloy with the predefined solids content into formed parts, wherein the solids content of the aluminum alloy in the working space is set to the predefined solids content by cooling and heating the working space in a targeted manner. The mixing and kneading machine includes a housing with a working space, a worm shaft including kneading blades and axial passage openings, and kneading projections.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2012Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Rheinfelden Alloys GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Rudiger Franke

Publication number: 20140117627Abstract: An assembly for sealing a shaft, which shaft is arranged in a container filled with a liquid melt consisting of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, passes through an opening in a wall of the container, and rotates about a shaft axis and/or moves back and forth in the direction of the shaft axis, including at least one annular sealing element that encompasses the shaft. The at least one annular sealing element is made of carbon, a ceramic material, or a metal material and is arranged outside of the container, and the shaft is provided with a coating made of carbon, a ceramic material, or a metal material in the encompassing area of the at least one annular sealing element, wherein the wear resistance of the coating on the shaft is the same as or higher than the wear resistance of the at least one annular sealing element.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2012Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: RHEINFELDEN ALLOYS GMBH & CO. KGInventor: Rudiger Franke
