Patents by Inventor Richard A. Milito

Richard A. Milito has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Aluminum purification
    Patent number: 4115215
    Abstract: A process for purifying aluminum alloys comprises providing molten aluminum alloy in a container having a porous wall therein capable of containing molten aluminum in the container and being permeable by the molten electrolyte. Aluminum is electrolytically transported through the porous wall to a cathode thereby substantially separating the aluminum from alloying constituents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 1977
    Date of Patent: September 19, 1978
    Assignee: Aluminum Company of America
    Inventors: Subodh K. Das, C. Norman Cochran, Richard A. Milito, Robert M. Mazgaj, Walter W. Hill
  • Method of carbothermically producing aluminum-silicon alloys
    Patent number: 4053303
    Abstract: Aluminum-silicon alloys are formed by bringing a mix containing sources of alumina, silica and carbon to a temperature in the range of 1500.degree. and 1600.degree. C to form silicon carbide and carbon monoxide. The mix containing the silicon carbide is then brought to a temperature in the range of 1600.degree. to 1900.degree. C to form aluminum oxycarbide and carbon monoxide. Thereafter, the mix containing the silicon carbide and aluminum oxycarbide is brought to a temperature in the range of 1950.degree. to 2200.degree. C to produce an aluminum-silicon alloy.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: C. Norman Cochran, Subodh K. Das, Richard A. Milito
  • Method for the production of aluminum-silicon alloys
    Patent number: 4046558
    Abstract: A method of producing an aluminum-silicon type alloy from alumina-silica bearing materials comprises providing the silica and alumina bearing materials in a mix having a weight ratio of silica to alumina in the range of 0.5 to 1.1. The method further comprises providing a source of carbonaceous material in the mix and carbothermically reducing it to form the aluminum-silicon alloy.
