Patent number: 4704338Abstract: A two-stage bonding technique for bonding high density silicon nitride and other ceramic materials to stainless steel and other hard metals, and multilayered ceramic-metal composites prepared by the technique are disclosed. The technique involves initially slurry coating a surface of the ceramic material at about 1500.degree. C. in a vacuum with a refractory material and the stainless steel is then pressure bonded to the metallic coated surface by brazing it with nickel-copper-silver or nickel-copper-manganese alloys at a temperature in the range of about 850.degree. to 950.degree. C. in a vacuum. The two-stage bonding technique minimizes the temperature-expansion mismatch between the dissimilar materials.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1986Date of Patent: November 3, 1987Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of EnergyInventors: Richard L.

Patent number: 4700863Abstract: This invention identifies methods and articles designed to circumvent metallurgical problems associated with hermetically closing an all cast iron nuclear waste package by welding. It involves welding nickel-carbon alloy inserts which are bonded to the mating plug and main body components of the package. The welding inserts might be bonded in place during casting of the package components. When the waste package closure weld is made, the most severe thermal effects of the process are restricted to the nickel-carbon insert material which is far better able to accommodate them than is cast iron. Use of nickel-carbon weld inserts should eliminate any need for pre-weld and post-weld heat treatments which are a problem to apply to nuclear waste packages.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1986Date of Patent: October 20, 1987Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of EnergyInventors: Arthur M. Filippi, Richard P. Sprecace

Patent number: 4677032Abstract: A thin film metal alloy medium for vertical recording has a magnetic film structure of individual films, each film being made up of a non-magnetic layer and a magnetic layer. In a preferred embodiment of the medium, each of the layers is a cobalt-chromium-tantalum (CoCrTa) alloy, the tantalum concentration being varied in the different layers in order to provide either the non-magnetic or the magnetic properties to the layers. The medium also includes a soft magnetic underlayer film structure between the substrate and the magnetic film structure to provide a magnetic flux return path. Each film in the underlayer film structure comprises a CoCrTa non-magnetic layer and a CoCrTa magnetic layer, each magnetic layer being sufficiently thin such that the underlayer film structure exhibits in-plane magnetization with no perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1985Date of Patent: June 30, 1987Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Clifford J.

Patent number: 4677034Abstract: Low temperature regime hot corrosion of superalloy components in gas turbines is reduced by the application thereover of cobalt-chromium alloys, the chromium content of such coatings (final composition) being in the 37.5-50 weight percent range. To the extent practicable, aluminum content in these coatings is kept to a minimum. In any event, during the annealing step some small amount at least of aluminum migrates from the superalloy into the coating. At completion of the annealing operation, the alluminum content at the exterior surface of the final coating, however, is to be less than the concentration of aluminum that will form a continuous film of aluminum oxide.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1983Date of Patent: June 30, 1987Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventor: Krisham L.
