  • Patent number: 10889877
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a treated material. The method includes providing a high-speed blender; adding a solvent and brass granules to the blender and blending at high speed until mixed; adding copper granules to the blender and mixing at high speed until mixed; adding carbon nanotubes and graphene to the blender and mixing until blended. The mixture of solvent, brass granules, copper granules, carbon granules, carbon nanotubes, and graphene are added to an additional mixture of brass and copper and mixed until all of the granules are uniformly saturated. The mixture is then dried to a powder. Thereafter, the dry powder may be added to ferrous or nonferrous metal(s) in a high temperature crucible and then heated until melted.

  • Publication number: 20190120598
    Abstract: In a body armor assembly and method of forming the body armor assembly a strike plate is provided that is formed of a number of sheets layered on each other. Each sheet of the strike plate is formed of fibers having a parallel orientation greater than 70%. The sheets are oriented such that the parallel-oriented fibers of all of the plural sheets are oriented or aligned in a single direction. The body armor assembly includes a backing plate formed of a metal or a metal alloy with randomly oriented atoms, or fibers that have a random orientation. The backing plate and the strike plate are joined, or bonded, or cross-linked together. Each strike plate sheet can be formed of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. The backing plate can be formed of polyethylene thermoplastic fibers.

  • Publication number: 20170157665
    Abstract: In a method of treating a material solvent, brass granules, copper granules, and carbon nanotubes are mixed, in the absence of silver, iron pyrite, and graphene, to form a first mixture. The first mixture is then added to a second mixture of brass and copper granules. The first and second mixtures are mixed until all of the granules of the second mixture of brass and copper are uniformly saturated with the first mixture, whereafter the second mixture is dried to form a treated material. The treated material can be mixed with one or more metals in a high-temperature crucible and heated until melted to form a metal alloy. Each of the one or more metals can be a ferrous and/or nonferrous metal. The melted metal alloy can be poured into a mold and allowed to cool and harden. The cooled and hardened metal alloy can be formed into a finished form via drawing through a die; continuous casting; or rolling.

  • Patent number: 9285192
    Abstract: A ballistic strike plate assembly comprises a first plate formed from aluminum alloy and having a first surface and a second surface. A titanium plate is has a first surface and a second surface. A sheet of ballistic gap foam is adhered to the first surface of the first plate and the first surface of the titanium plate. A multilayer ballistic fabric plate is adhered to the second surface of the titanium plate. A first sheet of ballistic wrap is disposed over the multilayer ballistic fabric plate, and has edges extending beyond edges of the multilayer ballistic fabric plate that are folded over the edges of the multilayer ballistic fabric plate. A second smaller sheet of ballistic wrap is adhered to the portion of the second surface of the first plate not covered by the folded over edges of the first sheet of ballistic wrap.
