  • Electromagnetic shielding envelopes from wound glassy metal filaments
    Patent number: 4189618
    Abstract: Efficient electromagnetic shielding envelopes made of wound metallic glass filaments are disclosed. They are made by winding the filaments around a suitably shaped mandrel and embedding the filaments in a matrix. These shielding envelopes have high shielding ratios at low magnetic fields and are easily manufactured.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 1978
    Date of Patent: February 19, 1980
    Assignee: Allied Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Gerald R. Bretts, Dirk A. Timan, Gregory J. Sellers, Wayne H. Witte
  • Adhesive bonding of metallic glass fabric
    Patent number: 4163821
    Abstract: An adhesive bonding procedure for providing mechanical stabilization for metallic glass ribbons in fabric form. A curable liquid adhesive is applied to the metallic glass fabric and is cured to adhesively bond overlapping ribbons. The resulting composite shows a high quality appearance and texture of the surface, a high flexibility of the coating on the metallic glass fabric and an ability of the adhesive bond to prevent the fabric from fraying when subjected to flexing and torsioning.

    Inventors: Louis F. Nienart, Gregory J. Sellers, Gerald R. Bretts, Dirk A. Timan
  • Continuous electroplating of alloy onto metallic strip
    Patent number: 4128459
    Abstract: A method of continuously electroplating alloys onto strip and wire. The strip is moved in an essentially mirror symmetrical path through the plating bath with the anode generally bisected by the mirror plane. The distance between anode and strip is smaller within the mirror plane, and larger at strip positions removed from the mirror plane, resulting in essentially uniform current density over the length of the strip immersed in the plating bath and in a homogeneous composition of the plated surface layer.
