  • Patent number: 11970753
    Abstract: A method for producing an ultra-high-strength hot-rolled structural steel includes producing a steel alloy with a carbon content not greater than 0.2%, avoiding a diffusive transformation of the austenite by achieving a transformation delay through the addition of manganese, chromium, and boron, and casting the steel alloy. The cast steel alloy is heated and hot rolled to form a steel strip which is then immediately hardened and mechanically straightened to produce mobile dislocations, wherein the boron, manganese and chromium delay diffusive transformation from an austenite structure to achieve formation of a martensite structure during the hardening. The steel strip is then annealed at a temperature between 100 and 200° C.

  • Patent number: 11898971
    Abstract: A method and a device for determining the material properties of a polycrystalline, in particular metallic, product during production or quality control of the polycrystalline, in particular metallic, product by means of X-ray diffraction using at least one X-ray source and at least one X-ray detector. In this case, an X-ray generated by the X-ray source is directed onto a surface of the polycrystalline product and the resulting diffraction image of the X-ray is recorded by the X-ray detector. After exiting the X-ray source, the X-ray is passed through an X-ray mirror, wherein the X-ray is both monochromatized and focused, by the X-ray mirror, in the direction of the polycrystalline product and/or the X-ray detector, and then reaches a surface of the metallic product.

  • Patent number: 8601903
    Abstract: A closing system for doors having a container provided in a handle. The container has a touch surface that is placed in a window-type recess of the handle, and a switching element that is arranged in the container can be actuated by the touch surface. The switching element is used to switch the control electronics of the closing system between two states, namely a state that prevents opening of the door and a state that allows the door to be opened.

  • Patent number: 8584556
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the precision machining of crankshafts or camshafts to final size tolerances RZ<10 ?m, preferably ?5 ?m and concentricity tolerances?30 ?M, preferably 6 ?m. The crankshafts or camshafts has been machined by a cutting operation and at least partly subjected to hardening. According to the invention, after an initial cutting operation and subsequent hardening to 45 to 60 HRC, preferably 50 to 53 HRC, a final cutting operation is carried out using cutting inserts fitted with CBN or PCD inlets. The device used for this purpose has cutting inserts which are fitted with CBN or PCD inlets, wherein cutting inserts clamped in place laterally, radially and tangentially follow each other alternately.

  • Patent number: 7841810
    Abstract: A milling cutter head has a base body rotatable about a longitudinal axis and formed with axially extending seats, respective blade holders axially shiftable in the seats, respective blades welded to the blade holders and each having a cutting edge, and respective wedges shiftable in the base body and engaging the blade holders, whereby the wedges can adjust axial positions of the respective blades. A clamp can fix the blade holders in the body. The cutting edge of at least one of the blades is angled and has relative to the axis a long radially outer part and a short radially inner part angled relative to the respective outer part by 3° to 7° so that the two parts form an angle of 177° to 173°.

  • Patent number: 7690232
    Abstract: A locking device having a locking cylinder and a key. The locking cylinder includes a cylinder core with tumblers in a cylinder core, which is rotatably mounted in a cylinder housing. Standard coding for the key is produced by a step with longitudinal profiling on at least one flat side of the edge profile of the key, said step being associated with a counter step on the tumbler. In addition to the standard coding produced by step and counter step, the key has at least one set of beveled edge coding in a corner section of the edge profile. The beveled edged coding consists of recesses in the form of beveled cuts in the corresponding corner sections of the edge profile, relative to which are provided counter touching points in the corresponding tumbler. In a section of the key shaft, either the standard coding or beveled edge coding can optionally be used, thereby considerably increasing the diversity of the locking device while retaining the space-saving design.
