  • ELECTROCHEMICAL METHOD OF LITHIUM IRON ARSENIC SUPERCONDUCTOR PREPARATION
    Publication number: 20140353159
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing lithium iron arsenic superconductor materials. An example of the method comprises providing at least one cathode comprised of iron arsenic, providing at least one anode comprised of a chemically inert material, placing the at least one cathode and at least one anode into an electrolyte comprised of molten lithium chloride and/or lithium bromide, and applying a voltage such that electrical current flows between the at least one anode and the at least one cathode.

  • High specific strength polycrystalline titanium-based alloys
    Patent number: 4149884
    Abstract: Polycrystalline titanium-based alloys having a high specific strength are formed by the rapid solidification of a melt composition containing about 80 weight percent titanium and specific amounts of aluminum, vanadium, iron and copper. In the form of filaments the alloys are particularly useful as reinforcing agents in composite structures while in the form of powders the alloys are eminently suitable for use in the fabrication of structural components by the application of powder metallurgy technology.
