Publication number: 20210162454Abstract: A process for producing a coated electrical steel strip includes application of a pretreatment layer over a first flat side of a rolled electrical steel strip. The layer thickness of the pretreatment layer is in the range from 10 nm to 100 nm, in particular from 20 nm to 50 nm. The rolled electrical steel strip which has been coated with the pretreatment layer is then coated with an insulating lacquer layer over the pretreatment layer. The insulating lacquer layer is applied by roll application using a roll and no deliberate drying and/or crosslinking of the pretreatment layer is carried out after application of the pretreatment layer and before coating with the insulating lacquer layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2019Publication date: June 3, 2021Applicant: voestalpine Stahl GmbHInventors: Bernhard STRAUSS, Ronald FLUCH, Roman TIEFENTHALLER

Patent number: 10388455Abstract: A coil coating method for multilayer coating of a continuous metal strip, which is disposed in the strip passage, in which on a flat side of the metal strip, a curable polymer primer is applied by means of a roller application and cured in order to form an electrically insulating primer layer and a curable polymer varnish is applied onto said primer layer by means of roller application and cured in order to form an electrically insulating varnish layer, wherein at least one at least electrically conductive conductor track is printed on at least some areas between the primer layer and the varnish layer is proposed. In order to increase the reproducibility of the coil coating method, it is proposed that the conductor track be printed on some areas of the pre-cured primer layer and that the conductor track and varnish be applied using a wet-on-wet process.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: voestalpine Stahl GmbHInventors: Michaela Schatzl-Linder, Bernhard Strauss, Johannes Sell, Herbert Enser, Wolfgang Hilber, Bernhard Jakoby

Patent number: 9669611Abstract: The invention relates to a method for connecting sheet metal parts (4) to form a laminated core (11), wherein sheet metal parts (4) are separated, in particular punched, from a sheet metal strip (2) that has, at least in some areas, a layer having curable polymer adhesive (12), and the sheet metal parts (4) are preliminarily connected to form a laminated core (11), the preliminary connection comprising plasticizing the adhesive (12) at least in some areas and joining the sheet metal parts (4) in order to connect the sheet metal parts by means of the plasticized adhesive (12) of at least one of the sheet metal parts (4), and in a subsequent step the laminated core (11) having preliminarily connected sheet metal parts (4) is subjected to a curing of the adhesive (12). In order to create an advantageous connection between the sheet metal parts, the plasticizing of the adhesive (12) comprises the introduction of a softener (16), in particular H2O.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Voestalpine Stahl GmbHInventors: Martin Peruzzi, Ronald Fluch, Reinhold Stotz, Bernhard Strauss, Franz Dorninger

Patent number: 9566745Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a semi-finished product or component (2), in which a hardenable coating (6, 17) with fiber-reinforced plastic is applied to a metal carrier (3), particularly a metal sheet (4), and the coated metal carrier (3) is formed, particularly deep-drawn or bent, in a subsequent step to produce a semi-finished product or component (2). According to the invention, for an improved and cost-effective method, the metal carrier (3) is coated at most only in certain regions and is only subjected to the forming when the coating thereof (6, 17) has hardened to produce at least a block-resistant surface (12), the coated metal carrier (3) being formed such that the plastic changes in shape follow forming radii (21) and are produced substantially, preferably exclusively, in the coating-free regions (15) of the metal carrier.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Voestalpine Stahl GmbHInventors: Franz Androsch, Carola Eyssell, Bernhard Strauss, Christian Walch

Patent number: 7086236Abstract: A method and system for venting accumulations of leakage from a vehicle cryo fuel tank system, whereby elements of the tank system like lines, valves and/or a storage container for the fuel are enveloped at least partially by a capsule, the interior of the capsule is vented regularly as a function of at least one boundary condition by a pressure differential, and the exhausted gas from the capsule is treated to reduce its environmental impact. The venting may be performed using an inert gas as the rinsing medium. The gas can be burned or oxidized catalytically, and may be disposed of by a separate burner or by an internal combustion engine of the vehicle. A blower, arranged outside the capsule may generate the pressure differential. Alternatively, the pressure differential may be generated within the capsule by convective forces or a stagnation pressure generated by movement of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2004Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gregor Fischer, Juergen Turini, Bernhard Strauss

Patent number: 4720922Abstract: The sensing head of a measuring machine is pendulously suspended via self-centering ball-and-socket structure which affords resilient dislocating relief from its normal precisely centered position of measurement. The resilient connection permits feeedom for such dislocation for all possible directions in spaces, while effectively anchoring the head against torsional deflection about the vertical axis. Once the collision condition is removed, the self-centering suspension assures resumed precision of the at-rest condition in which measurements can be made.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1986Date of Patent: January 26, 1988Assignee: Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, Heidenhim/BrenzInventor: Bernhard Strauss

Patent number: 4713892Abstract: For protecting an elongate machine part (e.g., the z-quill of a measurement machine) from collision in the course of movement transverse to its longitudinal axis (z), an angularly distributed plurality of directionally responsive ultrasonic transducers is disposed about the quill (4), with their response axes oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the quill. A time-multiplexed echo-ranging operation of some of these transducers is limited to those adjacent transducers which are on an arc that is convex in the instantaneous x-y direction of quill displacement. The sonic-response lobes of the transducers effectively define a protective semicylindrical sonic envelope arranged in front of the quill as it moves in the x-y plane.If an obstacle enters into the sonic envelope and echo-ranging measurement of the obstacle ordinate z.sub.H is found to be less than the effective extended length of z.sub.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1986Date of Patent: December 22, 1987Assignee: Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, Heidenhime/BrenzInventor: Bernhard Strauss
