  • Zirconium alloys having an integral .beta.-quenched corrosion-resistant surface region
    Patent number: 4279667
    Abstract: A body composed of a zirconium alloy is afforded enhanced corrosion resistance to a high pressure and high temperature steam environment by an integral surface region of .beta.-quenched zirconium formed in situ by laser beam scanning and afforded good mechanical and structural properties by the underlying bulk region whose metallurgical structure is selected to optimize these mechanical properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 1978
    Date of Patent: July 21, 1981
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Thomas R. Anthony, Harvey E. Cline
  • Apparatus for melt puddle control and quench rate improvement in melt-spinning of metallic ribbons
    Patent number: 4262734
    Abstract: A bearing gas sleeve coaxial with the melt ejection crucible is provided in an apparatus for making glassy alloy ribbons to provide a confluent bearing gas flow which minimizes dynamic fluctuations in the molten alloy puddle from which metallic ribbon is formed during chill block melt-spinning. The bearing gas flow causes an improved quench rate and melt puddle stabilization which results in reduced upper ribbon surface texture and improved edge definition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 1979
    Date of Patent: April 21, 1981
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventor: Howard H. Liebermann
  • Sensitized stainless steel having integral normalized surface region
    Patent number: 4239556
    Abstract: A body of sensitized stainless steel is afforded passivity for exposure to a corrosive environment by an integral surface region of normalized stainless shell formed in situ by laser beam scanning.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 1978
    Date of Patent: December 16, 1980
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Harvey E. Cline, Thomas R. Anthony, Harvey D. Solomon
  • Guard ring for TGZM processing
    Patent number: 4233934
    Abstract: A guard ring for processing a wafer of semiconductor material by thermal gradient zone melting has a beveled internal wall surface for supporting the wafer therein. The thickness of the guard ring is about twice the thickness of the wafer.
