  • Publication number: 20190338434
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for electrodepositing multi-component alloys, and products made by the same. The electrodeposition may be accomplished to deposit one or more multi-component alloy layers on a substrate. In one embodiment, a substrate is a bulk metal glass. In one embodiment, a substrate is an aluminum alloy substrate. In one embodiment, preconfigured cathode and/or anode configurations are used, which may facilitate, among other things, a uniform current density.

  • Publication number: 20170051384
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and composition for long length tubing includes continuous production of long length seamless aluminum tubing suitable for use as coiled tubing in hydrocarbon wells. A 2XXX aluminum alloy may be used in combination with a continuous casting/extrusion apparatus using aluminum from a melt. Other metals may be used, as well as continuously cast rod from a casting wheel and belt or conform extruder, which is processed to form a hollow and then sized by drawing.

  • Publication number: 20060076093
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mathematical approach to constructing a model of artificially aging to accurately calculate the value of a property in an aluminum alloy product achieved by aging the alloy. The method includes developing a formula having two independent time and temperature evolving expressions, aging the product to achieve the property by heating the product over an aging period determined by the formula and terminating the heating when the property is achieved according to a mathematical formula. The property is calculated as a function of time and product temperature measured over the aging period. Calculation of the property includes integration of the thermal effects on the product over the entire aging period.
