Publication number: 20230241677Abstract: The invention is a process for manufacturing a nano aluminum/alumina metal matrix composite and composition produced therefrom. The process is characterized by providing an aluminum powder having a natural oxide formation layer and an aluminum oxide content between about 0.1 and about 4.5 wt. % and a specific surface area of from about 0.3 and about 5 m2/g, hot working the aluminum powder, and forming a superfine grained matrix aluminum alloy. Simultaneously there is formed in situ a substantially uniform distribution of nano particles of alumina. The alloy has a substantially linear property/temperature profile, such that physical properties such as strength are substantially maintained even at temperatures of 250° C. and above.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: TECNIUM, LLCInventors: Thomas G.

Patent number: 10512990Abstract: Described herein are compositions for use in the brazing of metal substrates, methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein. Heat exchangers often have a distributor tube whose external surface is provided with cooling fins. The distributor tube is typically a steel tube coated with a metal having good heat conduction, such as aluminum. The cooling fins themselves also generally comprise aluminum because of its good heat conductivity and low weight.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: HOLTEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Krishna P.
