Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced plastic molded body, the method including: performing thermocompression molding, by using a molding die, on a molding precursor which is obtained by arranging a prepreg including a thermosetting resin and a fiber around a thermoplastic solid body.
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a heat-resistant mold for manufacturing a dental restoration, wherein a wax model is manufactured in a conventional manner and wherein from a powdered heat-resistant material consisting of powdered particles coated with a hydrophobic material liquid at room temperature, with water or another mixing liquid, a slurry is prepared, wherein the slurry is applied to the wax model, and wherein the wax model covered slurry is subjected to a heating step, wherein the wax is burnt off.

Abstract: A rare earth-based core for use in the casting of a reactive metal is described. The core contains a ceramic composition which includes at least about 10% by weight of monoclinic rare earth aluminate (RE4Al2O9), wherein RE represents at least one rare earth element; and at least about 10% by weight of at least one free rare earth oxide. The ceramic phase of the composition may include a microstructure which comprises a multitude of substantially spherical pores which are formed as a result of the removal of aluminum metal from the core composition during a heat treatment step. Additional embodiments relate to a method for the fabrication of a ceramic core, employing a rare earth oxide, aluminum metal, and a binder. Methods for removing cores from a cast part are also described.

Abstract: An expendable and machinable pattern material capable of being cast in large blocks without shrinkage and machined to a casting shape useful in the lost pattern process of investment casting, the material consisting essentially of ethylene-vinyl resin, fatty acid ketone, and fatty acid.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a colloidal aqueous silicate dispersion containing silica and alumina, the molar ratio between silica and alumina being 2-12, as well as to a method for its preparation. Said method is characterized by dissolving a particulate mineral material, such as a mineral wool or fiber product containing silica and alumina in a molar ratio of 2-12 in an aqueous solution, nucleating and stabilizing the so obtained solution, and optionally adjusting the dry matter content of the dispersion so obtained. The said dispersion can also be made to gel. The invention is also directed to the use of the dispersion as a binder.
Abstract: A wax composition for use in investment casting having improved properties includes polyethylene terephthalate as a filler material. The amount of polyethylene terephthalate used in the wax composition ranges from about 5 to about 50 parts by weight of the total wax composition. The use of polyethylene terephthalate as the filler material is effective for controlling the expansion and contraction properties of the wax composition providing a high degree of dimensional accuracy. Polyethylene terephthalate is relatively inexpensive compared to other inert filler materials, does not react with the mold, allows the wax pattern to be readily removed from the mold with reduced tendencies for shell cracking and results in little or no appreciable ash residue upon firing.
Abstract: The metal content of a thermoplastic composition containing an undesirably high concentration of metal can be reduced by adding to 100 parts by weight of the composition at least about 0.3 parts by weight of a chelating agent and sufficient water to chelate metal in the composition to form chelated metal in the composition, and then removing at least some of the chelated metal from the composition.
