  • Patent number: 6300851
    Abstract: The electromagnet system has a yoke (1) and a round core 92) that has a cylindrical shaft and an outwardly expanded cone section (25) toward the fastening end. The core has its shaft plugged in advance into a round hole (13) of the yoke proceeding from the outside. The cone section (25) of the core also has a thread with which it is turned into the thread-free round hole (13) of the yoke (1) by being turned. In this way, the core can be exactly positioned and a good interference fit and a good magnetic coupling are achieved.

  • Patent number: 5332510
    Abstract: Process for cleaning rolling oils which, when contaminated, contain rolling fines originating from metals being processed into semi-finished products in strip form, in particular light weight metals, e.g. aluminum fines. An addition of 2 to 8 g of dimeric oleic acid is made to each 1000 g of contaminated oil and the mixture passed through a coagulator whereby the rolling fines coagulate and can be readily removed from the contaminated oil. The purified oil can be recirculated as rolling oil.

  • Patent number: 4916285
    Abstract: A capacitor foil made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy whose edge has been treated using a LASER beam exhibits practically no burrs or cracks, as a result of which an increase in the nominal field strength of capacitors made with such a foil becomes possible. A further increase in the nominal field strength is achieved by creating at least one edge with a LASER beam which is enclosed in a reactive gas or gas mixture having a concentration of oxygen greater than the concentration of oxygen in air.

  • Patent number: 4488979
    Abstract: A hydraulic fluid which contains 100 parts by weight of polyisobutylene, 3 to 15 parts by weight of butylstearate and 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of palm seed oil. It shows good compatibility with newly rolled aluminum surfaces and is therefore particularly suitable for feeding hydrostatic means of supporting rolls for roll-forming aluminum and aluminum alloys.

  • Patent number: 4431554
    Abstract: 1000 Parts by weight of oil-in-water emulsion contain 10-70 parts by weight of palm kernel oil as reaction layer former, 5-20 parts by weight of poly-ethoxylated sorbitanoleate as emulsifier, 5-25 parts by weight of unsaturated, long chain monocarboxylic acids as inhibitor against hydrogen embrittlement and rusting, 1-25 parts by weight hexamethylenetetramine as stabilizer, fungicide and bactericide, rest deionized water. The emulsion is particularly suitable for cold rolling aluminum and aluminum alloys. The rolled strip materials exhibit excellent surface quality also after high reductions per pass.

  • Patent number: 4326974
    Abstract: The oil-in-water emulsion contains, besides the usual components, xylitol and sorbitol to inhibit water staining. The inhibitor is fully effective even when 1000 parts by weight of the emulsion contain only 1-30 parts by weight each of xylitol and sorbitol.By making this addition of inhibitor the reaction of the water phase with the metal surface freshly created by rolling is to a large degree eliminated and with that also the elimination of the formation of undesirable water stains on the surface of the strip.

  • Patent number: 4325753
    Abstract: On degrease annealing of thin strip and foil made of aluminum and aluminum alloys in an annealing furnace ozone is introduced into the furnace atmosphere.As a result of this the annealing time can be shortened or the annealing temperature lowered. Likewise the tendency for the foil to stick together when in coiled form is markedly reduced.

  • Patent number: 4293424
    Abstract: Lubrication oils used in rolling strip and foil in the light metal industing are contaminated with fine metallic particles during rolling. The process described here allows these oils to be cleaned either continuously or in a batch process by adding a strongly alkaline solution to the warm contaminated oil whereby these fine particles coagulate and can be separated out by means of centrifuging or filtering.

  • Patent number: 4151102
    Abstract: A synthetic bearing lubricant prevents wear even under very high loads and is such that when it contaminates the rolling lubricant the rolled product is not stained. The bearing lubricant contains poly-isobutene, at least one ester of a C.sub.2 to C.sub.5 alcohol with an .alpha.-hydroxy-mono carboxylic acid or an .alpha.-hydroxy-dicarboxylic acid, and at least single or poly unsaturated C.sub.13 to C.sub.19 carboxylic acid.
