Abstract: A process for forming a diffusion aluminide coating on an article, such as a component for a gas turbine engine. The process is a vapor phase process that generally entails placing the article in a coating chamber containing an aluminum donor material, without any halide carrier or inert filler present. The aluminum donor material consists essentially of about 20 to about 70 weight percent aluminum, with the balance being chromium or cobalt. While the article is held out of contact with the donor material, coating is initiated in an inert or reducing atmosphere by heating the article and the donor material to vaporize the aluminum constituent of the donor material, which then condenses on the surface of the article and diffuses into the surface to form a diffusion aluminide coating on the article.

Abstract: Battery plate envelopes include a sheet of porous film material having a folded widthwise bottom edge and overlapped lateral edges to thereby form a pocket for receiving a battery plate therein. The overlapped lateral edges are joined to one another by a lengthwise extending series of discontinuous joining regions with adjacent ones of the discontinuous joining regions being separated by respective unsealed regions. These unsealed regions thereby establish respective lateral channels through which fluid (e.g., electrolyte employed in a wet storage battery) may pass to the interior pocket, and hence to the battery plate. The discontinuous joining regions are most preferably formed by passing the sheet material through the nip between opposed joining rings, each of which is provided with a series of triangularly-shaped teeth with smooth land areas formed between adjacent teeth series.

Abstract: A process for producing a heat-sensitive stencil sheet (7) is disclosed, which makes it possible to readily form a porous substrate layer having a uniform and dense fiber dispersion on a thermoplastic resin film (3). The process is characterized by electrostatically flocking staple fibers (5) of 0.1-3 denier on a thermoplastic resin film (3) coated with a binder and by thermally compressing them (14) to form a porous substrate layer on the film. Since the porous substrate layer, having a good fiber dispersion, can be formed directly on the film by the electrostatic flocking process, it is possible to make the production process shorter, reduce the production cost and to improve the visual quality of the printed matter.

A stencil is also exposed to dissolution of any applied first and second substances outside of the latter part, for rendering the stencil perforate outside of that part.

Abstract: A paint mask and method for masking a work surface wherein the mask structure is comprised of a first mask layer and a second liner layer. One face of the first layer includes an adhesive coating with the second layer being adhesively secured thereto. A predetermined design configuration is defined in the mask structure by discontinuous cuts extending through both the first and second layers. Score cuts extending through the second layer in spaced apart generally coextensive relationships with the discontinuous cuts define band-like areas. Removal of these band-like areas exposes band areas of adhesive on the first layer which are used to adhesively secure the mask in a desired orientation on a work surface. The discontinuous cuts facilitate removal of that portion of the mask structure disposed on the other side thereof from the score cuts to be removed from covering association wtih the work surface.

Abstract: A method for applying adhesive to a printed paper commercial garment-making rolled pattern marker includes spraying the back (upward facing) side of the marker with a fast-drying adhesive and as the upper surface of the applied adhesive becomes tacky, rolling the marker upon itself. The adhesive remains tacky on the rolled-up marker for a relatively long time, so that it may be used later, when desired, by simply unrolling it tacky side down on top of the fabric to be cut. Apparatus for applying the adhesive includes a variable speed paper-handling mechanism which transfers the marker along a path from an upper feed roll, forward and downward to a take-up roll, and a multiple-nozzle airless spraying mechanism which applies the adhesive to the back side of the marker. The application and paper travel rates are such that the outer surface of the adhesive becomes tacky before the marker is rolled upon itself on the take-up roll.
