  • Patent number: 7807273
    Abstract: An alloy-coated boiler part is furnished with a melted coating of alloy material excellent in erosion/corrosion resistance when joined by welding, and free from thermal shock cracking. Super alloy coating (15) is applied over rapid temperature rise region width (C), where thermal shock cracking may occur at a welding operation, at end portions subjected to weld joint including the vicinity. Self-fluxing alloy coating (16) is applied on remaining regions other than the rapid temperature rise region width (C). While over a half proportion of each of the alloy coatings (15, 16) occupied by an Ni-enriched Ni—Cr component, the super alloy coating (15) has the contents of B and Si suppressed to equal or less than 0.1% and equal or less than 0.5%, respectively, and in the self-fluxing alloy coating (16), the content of each of B and Si is in the range of 1 to 5%.

  • Patent number: 7794852
    Abstract: A flanged plate (1) for a rolling-lobe air spring has on its rounded portion an annular, closed, concave, rounded holding recess (13) which has a circular arcuate shape. The plate is provided with the recess before surface treatment. A correspondingly shaped holding bead (16) in the upper flanging tool (3) engages in this holding recess and form-tightly holds the tool (3) and the flanged plate (1). In this way, sharp-edged holding grooves, which can damage the surface of the flanged plate, are unnecessary. The flanging method, the flanging device, the flanged plate and the rolling-lobe air spring provided with a flanged plate of the above type are described.

  • Patent number: 7790294
    Abstract: A three-dimensional, woven metal fiber preform and metal braze matrix forms a high temperature metallic structural joint. The preform is used with a braze alloy matrix to join a structural skin to a flangeless frame. This same basic joint can be used to create large complex structures with very little tooling. The three-dimensional woven metal preform is a flexible element that conforms to match the skin and flangeless frame, thereby avoiding high costs associated with precision fixturing. A high temperature braze metal is used as a matrix for the wire and to join the woven preform to the skin and the frame. The edges of the preform are tapered to a feather edge to avoid stress concentrations and stiffness mismatch.

  • Patent number: 7767295
    Abstract: A reinforced packing tape having a tamper indicator is disclosed. The reinforced packing tape is constructed of a base layer of kraft paper having a lower surface coated with a water-activated adhesive and an upper surface printed with a tamper indicator pattern. A portion of the tamper indicator pattern is overlaid with a reinforcing film of transparent plastic. The plastic film is strongly bonded to the base layer such that when an attempt to remove the plastic film is made, the tamper indicator pattern is altered, degraded or destroyed; thus, a tamper attempt is indicated.

  • Patent number: 7758970
    Abstract: A different materials bonded member includes a ceramic base material and a metallic member which are bonded together through an Au solder material. The solder material is disposed on a bonding surface of the ceramic base through a given active metal layer or a given metalized layer and the solder material is heated and melted to form a pre-coat layer adhering to the bonding surface, the metallic member is disposed on a surface of the pre-coat layer through a barrier layer having a given function. A bonded part is formed by solidifying the pre-coat layer after it has been heated and melted under given temperature conditions to bond the ceramic base and the metallic member to one another.

  • Patent number: 7749613
    Abstract: A multi-layer aluminum brazing sheet including a core layer, interliner, braze clad layer and a sacrificial layer, in which the post-braze strength of the brazing sheet is optimized by controlling the manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), copper (Cu) and magnesium (Mg) contents of the core layer and the Mn, Si and Cu content of the interliner and the Mn, Si and Zn content of the sacrificial layer and the specifics of the braze thermal cycle. The brazing sheet maintains corrosion resistance, while optimizing post-braze strength, by utilizing 0.5 wt. % to 1.2 wt. % Cu in the interliner. Further, the interliner and sacrificial layer of the brazing sheet contain low or no magnesium to maintain the brazing sheet's braze-ability.
