Patent number: 7807273Abstract: 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%.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2005Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignees: Dai-Ichi High Frequency Co., Ltd., Flourshing Enterprise Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoichi Matsubara, Yoshinobu Sochi, Makoto Kumakawa, Shin-Nan Lee

Patent number: 7794852Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2007Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: ContiTech Luftfedersysteme GmbHInventors: Gerd Morig, Wolfgang Gnirk, Bernd Reich

Patent number: 7790294Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2006Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: John C. Macguire, Gregory W. Lundeen, Ronald P. Schmidt

Patent number: 7749613Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2006Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignees: Alcoa Inc., Kobe Steel Ltd.Inventors: Fumihiro Koshigoe, Akihiro Tsuruno, Toshiki Ueda, Stephen F.
