  • Publication number: 20210178455
    Abstract: A technique facilitates construction of a wire-wrapped screen. A wrapping machine is operated with a sensor, e.g. a camera, positioned adjacent the wrapping machine while wire is wrapped to create the wire-wrapped screen. The sensor is used to obtain data on at least one parameter of the wire-wrapped screen during creation of the wire-wrapped screen. Data is provided to a controller in communication with the wrapping machine to improve the quality of the wire-wrapped screen. For example, data from the images obtained via the camera may be provided to the controller which is configured to determine slot width as the wire is wrapped. The controller is then able to provide feedback in real time to the wrapping machine so as to adjust the wrapping machine for maintaining a desired slot width.

  • Patent number: 10415351
    Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a separating device for removing solid particles from liquids and/or gases in extraction wells, comprising a) an annular stack (7) of at least three brittle-hard annular discs (8), the upper side (9) of the annular discs (8) having at least three spacers (10), which are distributed uniformly over the circular circumference of the discs and the contact area (11) of which is planar, so that the spacers (10) have planiform contact with the underside of an adjacent annular disc (8), and the annular discs (8) being stacked and fixed in such a way that between the individual discs (8) there is in each case a separating gap (14) for the removal of solid particles, and the axial projection of the annular discs (8) at the inner and the outer circumference being circular, and the brittle-hard material of the annular discs (8) being chosen from oxidic and non-oxidic ceramic materials, mixed ceramics of these materials, ceramic materials with the addition of secondary phases, mixed

  • Patent number: 5045512
    Abstract: The invention relates to mixed sintered metal materials based on high-melting borides and nitrides and low-melting iron binder metals having the composition:(1) 40-97% by volume of borides, such as titanium diboride and zirconium diboride;(2) 1-48% by volume of nitrides, such as titanium nitride and zirconium nitride;(3) 0-10% by volume of oxides, such as titanium oxide and zirconium oxide, with the proviso that components (2) and (3) may also be present as oxynitrides such as titanium and zirconium oxynitride; and(4) 2-59% by volume of low-carbon binder metals, such as iron and iron alloys and to processes for preparing the same.

  • Patent number: 4970036
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing green compacts by the slip-casting process, injection-molding process or extrusion process from sinterable mixtures based on a starting powder mixture containing silicon nitride, and, if appropriate, aluminum nitride and/or alumina and other oxides as sinter aids. The dispersant and binder used is a magnesium chloride hydrate as a mixture with magnesium oxide and water and, after molding, the mixtures are hardened at temperatures from 30.degree. to 60.degree. C. In addition, ceramic fibers, such as silicon carbide, can also be processed as fillers. The green compacts thus produced are sufficiently stable, so that they can be worked mechanically.

  • Patent number: 4743571
    Abstract: Polycrystalline sintered bodies are provided consisting of at least 66% by weight of a crystalline Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 phase, of which at least 90% by weight is in the beta-modification, and of up to 34% by weight of secondary intergranular grain boundary phases of oxide, carbide and/or nitride. At least 25% by weight of the secondary grain boundary phases consists of a quasi-ternary crystalline compound in the E.sub.1 --E.sub.2 --E.sub.3 triangle of the Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 --La.sub.2 O.sub.3 -Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 ternary system called "Gala", the "Gala" compound being prepared from gallium oxide, lanthanum oxide and aluminum oxide prior to producing the sintered bodies.The polycrystalline sintered bodies are produced by sintering with and without application of pressure from silicon nitride powders having a portion of impurities not exceeding 4.0% by weight, sintering additives of oxides and optionally other refractory admixtures of carbides and/or nitrides.
