  • Patent number: 10240291
    Abstract: A heatable roller suitable for a machine for producing and/or upgrading a web of material, in particular a fibrous material web such as a paper, paperboard or tissue web. The roller has a main element with a metallic and cylindrical roller wall which is heatable by suitable means and on the radially outer side of which there is, at least in sections, a coating. When the roller is used as intended, the coating provides a web contact side which can be brought into contact with the web of material. The coating includes, or is formed by, at least one metallic or metal-carbidic layer with a first layer component providing a matrix and a second layer component distributed in the matrix. The first layer component has a higher abrasion resistance than the second layer component and the second layer component has a greater thermal conductivity than the first layer component.

  • Patent number: 7109839
    Abstract: A fuse link, especially for low voltage, high-breaking-capacity fuses, includes at least one fusible conductor having a soldering substance in a solder depot of a carrier, the solder being tin-based and the carrier being copper-based. The solder contains a tin alloy as an active substance, the tin alloy having two other constituents. The first constituent, which is the larger of the two in weight percent but which is smaller in weight percent than the proportion of the base substance tin, is selected for lowering the fusion temperature of the solder. The second constituent, which is the smaller of the two in weight percent, is a substance which does not dissolve in tin. Crystal nuclei are formed when said substance is cooled from the liquid state to the solid state, creating a fine structure and preventing the structure from becoming coarse under a load.
