  • Patent number: 11932920
    Abstract: Liquid metal degassing device comprising a chamber containing a liquid metal bath, a device for circulating a gas through a purification chamber and in that the purification chamber comprises a getter material configured to trap dihydrogen from the circulating gas. Method for degassing a liquid metal bath to reduce the hydrogen concentration of the liquid metal comprising the following steps a) Preparing a liquid metal bath, preferably an aluminum alloy b) Circulating a gas, c) Exchanging hydrogen from the circulating gas with the liquid metal such that the hydrogen dissolved in the liquid metal bath diffuses into the circulating gas and enriches the circulating gas with dihydrogen, d) Purifying the circulating gas enriched with dihydrogen in a purification chamber comprising a getter material configured to trap dihydrogen from the circulating gas.

  • Publication number: 20210156005
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a part (20) comprising a formation of successive solid metal layers (201 . . . 20n), superimposed on one another, each layer describing a pattern defined from a numerical model (M), each layer being formed by the deposition of a metal (25), referred to as a filler metal, the filer metal being subjected to an input of energy so as to melt and constitute, by solidifying, said layer, wherein the filler metal takes the form of a powder (25), of which the exposure to an energy beam (32) results in a melting followed by a solidification in such a way as to form a solid layer (201, . . . 20n), the method being characterized in that the filler metal (25) is an aluminum alloy comprising at least the following alloying elements: Si, according to a weight fraction from 4% to 20%; Fe, according to a weight fraction from 2% to 15%. The invention also relates to a part obtained by this method.

  • Patent number: 8956443
    Abstract: A device for trapping flammable gases such as hydrogen comprises active means (3) inside a casing (1) which is closed except for openings which are plugged by filters (2) that normally allow only the gases that are to be trapped to pass through them. The trapping maintains a reduced pressure inside the casing, which continually draws in the gases produced outside. The trap can operate without any maintenance and for long periods of time, even in a completely enclosed environment.
