  • Publication number: 20130299346
    Abstract: A sputtering device with a tubular target, includes a holding device with a supporting shaft having a shaft flange connected to the target tube detachably and in a water-tight manner by a clamping device. The end of the target tube facing the shaft flange of the supporting shaft is flangeless and a spacer ring is arranged detachably on the outer side of the tube in a predetermined position. The spacer ring is held by a form-fitting connection at a minimum distance from the end of the target tube. The clamping device includes the shaft flange of the supporting shaft, the spacer ring and a clamping ring which engages over the shaft flange and the spacer ring and comprises at least two pieces. At least one sealing element is arranged between the outer side and/or the end side of the target tube, and an opposite sealing face of the shaft flange.

  • Patent number: 6430980
    Abstract: Coating and shaping of strand-shaped metallic material by drawing using lubricants in solid to liquid state is disclosed. The disclosed method and arrangement enables high-performance shaping while decisively reducing expenditure on apparatus. At the same time, sealing problems with respect to lubricant are eliminated and several technical parameters in the shaping and coating process are improved depending on the material to be shaped. The shaping stock is coated with lubricant by a double chamber arrangement comprising a low-pressure lubricant chamber followed by a high-pressure lubricant chamber and is shaped by means of working drawing dies at the outputs of the chambers. The low-pressure chamber is filled with solid to pasty lubricant by a lubricant feed and a low pressure is applied to this lubricant externally.

  • Patent number: 5865052
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns the field of metallurgy and relates to a method and device for use in the forming of wire-shaped metal material, in particular in wire drawing. To form and/or coat wire-shaped metal material with solid to paste-consistency lubricants, the material is passed through a pressure chamber fitted with at least one inlet nozzle and at least one outlet nozzle. Located in the pressure chamber is a solid to paste-consistency lubricant which is under pressure. The pressure is set and/or regulated and raised by means of an external pressure-generation unit. The combined pressure/temperature setting used for the lubricant is always kept below the level at which the lubricant would liquefy. The lubricant is used as a powder or in the form of shaped articles, preferably compacts, pellets or granules, and fed to the pressure chamber from lubricant-storage facilities through feed channels.
