Patent number: 7763573Abstract: The production of solid lubricant agglomerates by combining solid lubricant powder, an inorganic binder, other fillers if optionally desired, and a liquid to form a mixture, and driving off the liquid to form dry agglomerates which are subsequently classified by size or milled and classified by size to yield agglomerates of a desired size range. These agglomerates are then treated to stabilize the binder, thereby strengthening the binder and rendering it nondispersible in the liquid. The treated agglomerates are then blended or clad with a metal, metal alloy or a metallic composition, to produce a composition suitable for thermal spray applications.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2006Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Sulzer Metco (Canada) Inc.Inventors: Karel Hajmrle, William Walkhouse, Petr Fiala

Patent number: 7291577Abstract: A process for the production of a supported catalyst. The process comprises heating a slurry that comprises a catalyst support and at least one active catalytic ingredient precursor. Gas is introduced to the slurry at a sufficient pressure to reduce the at least one active catalytic ingredient precursor and deposit at least one active catalytic ingredient onto a surface of the catalyst support to form the supported catalyst. The supported catalyst has a large active catalytic surface area.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2003Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Sulzer Metco (Canada) Inc.Inventors: Karel Hajmrle, Syed Hussain, Paul Albert Laplante
