  • Precipitation strengthened metal alloy article
    Patent number: 10648067
    Abstract: A metal alloy article having a combination of mechanical properties which are uniform across a cross-sectional area of the article is disclosed. The metal alloy is a precipitation hardenable alloy, such as an aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, or titanium alloy. In specific embodiments, the metal alloy is a copper-nickel-tin alloy with a nominal composition of Cu—15Ni—8Sn. The article is strengthened by process treatment steps including solution annealing, cold working, and precipitation hardening. The article has a constant cross-section along a length thereof with a minimum 0.2% offset yield strength of about 70 ksi.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2020
    Assignee: MATERION CORPORATION
    Inventors: Christopher Damschroder, W. Raymond Cribb
  • Drilling component
    Patent number: 10597949
    Abstract: A drilling component includes a spinodally-hardened copper-nickel-tin alloy. The drilling component may be a drill stem or a drill string component, such as a tool joint used for joining pipe together.
