Patent number: 8986823Abstract: The present development is a process for coating a substrate with a microlayered extrusion coating, or for producing a laminate from a first substrate, a microlayered extrudate and a second substrate. The present development also includes a microlayered extrusion coating used for laminating two or more plastic extrudates. The microlayered extrusion coating comprises a microlayer core comprising a plurality of layers of gas barrier material having a thickness of less than five microns per layer with alternating tie layers. The microlayer core is sandwiched between polymeric boundary layers which are further sandwiched between polymeric skin layers. The present microlayered extrudate surprisingly exhibits a gas barrier significantly better than conventional thicker single barrier layers and increased opacity in the extrudate using white pigmented LDPE enhances the printed graphics in a laminate structure using a printed substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Bryce CorporationInventors: Mark Montsinger, Michael Williams

Publication number: 20150079349Abstract: A hard faced surface comprises a metal substrate. Inserts are attached to the substrate as a covering layer on the substrate. Each insert comprises a thermally stable polycrystalline diamond (TSP) body (or polycrystalline diamond or cubic boron nitride) having a plan section, a contact surface and a flat top surface. A boundary coating on the ultra-hard body renders the body wettable by first braze material. A tungsten carbide cap is brazed with said first braze material to at least the top surface of the TSP block. The inserts are brazed to the substrate in a closely packed side-by-side formation with a second braze material that penetrates the gaps between the inserts and between the contact surface of the bodies and the metal substrate. The tungsten carbide caps of the inserts provide a gauge for the hard faced surface, which caps are ground in a finishing step exposing the caps and providing the hard faced surface with a desired dimension including an amount of the thickness of the caps.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: March 19, 2015Applicant: CUTTING & WEAR RESISTANT DEVELOPMENTS LIMITEDInventor: Mark Russell
