  • Patent number: 11168384
    Abstract: A process for producing lithium aluminum ingots is provided. In one embodiment, the process includes preparing a master alloy comprising about 70 to 90 percent by weight lithium and 10 to 30 percent by weight aluminum and dissolving the master alloy in lithium at a temperature of from about 230° C. to 330° C. to provide a lithium aluminum ingot having between about 1500 to 2500 ppm by weight aluminum. In another embodiment, the process may produce a lithium aluminum ingot having about 0.001 to about 1.0 percent aluminum.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 9, 2021

  • Patent number: 10421161
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of forming an alloy material for use in a wire. The method includes forming a master alloy containing lead and silver; and creating a molten wire alloy by combining the master alloy, additional lead, and a third material in a vessel. The method also includes flowing argon gas through and over the molten wire alloy. The method also includes drawing the molten alloy from the vessel through an actively cooled die, and solidifying the molten wire alloy to form a bar of wire alloy.
