  • Patent number: 11518002
    Abstract: With a method for the production of a grinding tool, a tool base body is provided, which configures a three-dimensionally shaped adhesive sur-face by application of a bonding agent. The tool base body is positioned in a way that the adhesive surface is arranged in an electrostatic field, be-tween a first electrode and a second electrode. Into the electrostatic field, abrasive grains are introduced, which, due to the electrostatic field, move towards the adhesive surface and adhere to same. The grinding tool produced in this manner has a three-dimensionally shaped abrasive grain layer. The production of the grinding tool is simple, flexible and economical. The grinding tool has a randomly shaped abrasive grain layer and can be applied in a manifold manner with a high cutting performance and a long service life.

  • Patent number: 11446734
    Abstract: A casting nozzle for use in the casting of molten metal produces a stable flow pattern having an elongated section in the horizontal plane. The bore cross-sectional area contains, from entry to exit, at least two significant section area reductions to reduce turbulence, realign streamlines and affect flow distribution inside the nozzle. The bore cross-section has a local minimum value in a contraction section located between the entry section and an expansion section. Bore cross-sectional area decreases from the expansion section to the lower end of the nozzle. The two significant cross-sectional area reductions cooperate with other structures within the bore to stabilize flow.
