  • Getter strip
    Patent number: 4977035
    Abstract: A strip getter structure comprising getter powder pressed into and onto an open reticulated network carrier strip. The getter powder particles form an agglomeration with strength derived both from interlocking of said getter particles and from support of the getter agglomeration by the network. The getter strip structure is manufactured by continuous rolling of getter powder into and onto the network carrier strip by means of a gravity powder feed and a cylindrical rolling mill.

  • Slurry coating process
    Patent number: 3989863
    Abstract: A process of slurry coating particularly adapted to coatings less than one mil thick wherein a basis metal is coated with particles of a second metal dispersed in a liquid containing alkali-stabilized silica sol as the predominate film forming ingredient. The coated basis metal is dried; the coating is sintered thereon and then is worked. Provided that the silica to metal ratio is within a special range, residual silica in the coating metal does not interfere with working.
