Publication number: 20200326524Abstract: Disclosed is a new type of clearing solution. In one embodiment, the disclosed clearing solution is a chlorobutanol in a base solution; wherein the base solution is a concentrated solution of lactic acid in water with a range of concentrations between eighty and ninety-two percent (80-92%). Suitably, the clearing solution is made in three steps. First, a base solution with a concentration of eighty to ninety-two percent (80-92%) of lactic acid in water is prepared. Second, the base solution is located at twenty degrees centigrade (20° C.). Finally, three percent (3%) by weight of chlorobutanol is dissolved in the lactic acid and water base solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2019Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Thomas E.

Patent number: 10300515Abstract: A progressive forming machine with die and tool units, one of said units sliding a limited distance along its axis and biased by a spring force towards the other unit, the units each having an end face with a smooth surface finish adapted to press against the smooth surface finish of the end face of the other unit, the end face area of one of the units being relatively small compared to its major cross-sectional area whereby a high contact pressure between the end faces is obtained for a given spring bias force such that extrusion/cooling oil coating a workpiece received in cavity portions is restrained from leakage from the cavity portions across said end faces during a hydrostatic trapped extrusion shaping the workpiece to a degree beyond limits of conventional cold-forming processes.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: NATIONAL MACHINERY LLCInventors: Thomas E.
