Abstract: The invention includes a method of forming a heat treated sputtering target assembly. A backing plate is diffusion bonded to a sputtering target to produce a sputtering target assembly. The sputtering target assembly is heat treated to precipitation harden the backing plate of the assembly. The heat treatment includes heating and quenching, with the quenching being performed by immersing the backing plate in a quenchant without submerging the sputtering target.

Abstract: Described is a method of making a heat treated sputtering target and a sputtering target assembly with a prescripitation hardened backing plate diffusion hardened to a sputtering target.

Abstract: A system for sensing by ultrasonic vibrational energy the shape and character of objects immersed in a visually opaque transmission medium is disclosed. Frequency modulated ultrasonic waves are projected to irradiate an object, with reflected energy from scattering points on the object being imaged on an ultrasonic image camera. The camera converts the received ultrasonic image to an electronic image which is electronically scanned to produce an output video signal having an amplitude and frequency which is a linear representation of the point-by-point interrogation of the image. The video signal is fed in parallel to an amplitude modulation detector, which produces a linear signal representing the video signal envelope, and a frequency modulation detector, which produces a constant amplitude reproduction of the original modulation signal, except for shifts in phase in accordance with the time delays of reflected ultrasonic signals reaching successive image points on the camera.
