Patent number: 3941181Abstract: A system is disclosed for casting rollers having an external cylindrical surface defined by firmly-held carbide particles. As disclosed, a cylindrical mold is revolved about a central horizontal axis and heavy, tungsten-carbide particles are released within the mold to accumulate as a layer on the internal cylindrical surface of the mold. Molten metal of specific characteristics is injected into the mold; being lighter does not displace the particles at the mold surface yet forces and characteristics are such that the metal wets the particles and fills the interstices therebetween to provide an effective matrix upon solidification. Heat treatment overcomes the problem attendant the inherent rapid cooling, after which the metal may be machined.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1974Date of Patent: March 2, 1976Assignee: Stoody CompanyInventor: Charles A. Stoody

Patent number: 3931787Abstract: A system is disclosed for supplying particle material along a length of strip material which is then closed into a tube to provide welding wire or electrode. The strip material is moved longitudinally (while its flow rate is measured) and as it moves through a junction location, particle material is metered onto the strip, the flow rate of the particle material also being measured. The system compares the flow rates of the strip material and the particle material with a predetermined ratio to provide a control signal which controls the flow rate of the particle material accordingly. The strip material carrying the particle material is then closed to a tubular configuration to produce welding wire of improved consistency along its length. As disclosed, the system incorporates effective structures for measuring the flow of the strip material and for precisely metering the particle material.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1973Date of Patent: January 13, 1976Assignee: Stoody CompanyInventors: Ralph Kuttner, Wallace T.
