Patent number: 10830296Abstract: The present application discloses a ceramic preform, a method of making a ceramic preform, a MMC comprising a ceramic preform, and a method of making a MMC. The method of making a ceramic preform generally comprises preparing reinforcing fibers, preparing a ceramic compound, and forming the compound into a desired shape to create the ceramic preform. In certain embodiments, the ceramic compound is formed as either a disc or a ring for use in a brake disc metal matrix composite. The metal matrix composite generally comprises the ceramic preform infiltrated with a molten metal to form the brake disc metal matrix composite. The method of making the metal matrix composite generally comprises heating the ceramic preform, placing the ceramic preform in a mold cavity of a die cast mold, and introducing molten metal into the mold cavity to infiltrate the ceramic preform to form the brake disc metal matrix composite.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Dan T. Moore, Evelyn M. Deliso, Joseph B. Richey, III, Ryan G. Sarkisian, Tongzhai Gao, Andrew Dorman

Patent number: 6131651Abstract: A thin flexible heat transfer device for transferring heat from a heat source to a heat sink which may be located a substantial distance apart from each other. The heat transfer device includes a thin sheet of a non-structural, high thermal conductivity core material consisting of pyrolytic graphite or highly ordered pyrolytic graphite of a thickness between 2 microns and 2 mm and a pair of flexible face sheets each of a metallic composition having a maximum thickness of less than 25 mils disposed upon opposing surfaces of said core material to form a sandwich construction in cross section with the sheet of core material having a width smaller than the width of said face sheets such that the face sheets overlap the width of said core material around the perimeter of the device for enclosing and sealing the core material there within.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1998Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: Advanced Ceramics CorporationInventor: Joseph B.
