  • Publication number: 20250282081
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a drill segment for a drill bit, in particular for a drill bit for machining reinforced concrete, wherein the drill segment has at least one layer with a multiplicity of abrasive particles, wherein the abrasive particles form a pattern within the layer. The method includes at least one performance parameter of the drill segment that has the pattern precalculated and/or the pattern is determined according to a precalculation of the performance parameter, and, in particular if the performance parameter attains or exceeds a particular value, a drill segment that has at least one layer with abrasive particles arranged in accordance with the pattern is manufactured. A drill segment and to a drill bit. It is possible to quickly and inexpensively develop and manufacture particularly high-performance drill segments for drill bits.

  • Publication number: 20240058863
    Abstract: A method for producing a machining segment from a first powdered matrix material and first hard material particles arranged according to a defined first particle pattern, includes: applying a powdered supporting material as a supporting layer with a melting temperature higher than the first matrix material, arranging the first hard material particles according to the defined first particle pattern in the supporting material with a depth of penetration, applying a first layer of the first matrix material to the first hard material particles and the supporting material and fusing the first layer by a powder bed fusion method, and performing a sequence of a plurality of steps N times, N?1, wherein, in a first step of the sequence, a layer of the first matrix material is applied to the layer structure, and in a second step of the sequence, the layer of the first matrix material is fused by the powder bed fusion method and connected to the layer structure.

  • Patent number: 10132782
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for field-flow fractionation and to a method for separating samples by means of field-flow fractionation using this apparatus. The apparatuses of the invention comprise a separation channel which, in addition to a first outlet for sample-containing solvent, comprises a second outlet for sample-free solvent, wherein the second outlet is arranged in a region of the separation channel from which sample-free solvent may be removed during elution and a flow volume control device is arranged downstream of the second outlet. They are characterized in that the flow volume control device is a mass flow controller.
