Abstract: A method of making a plurality of masks for a mask-focusing color picture tube is described. A plurality of apertured flat masks are aligned and stacked. The stacked flat masks are contacted by magnetic force and welded together. The welded flat masks are pressed into a predetermined curved shape at the same time. Next, the welded portions are cut off to separate each mask.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved method of fabricating boron fiber and aluminum matrix composite structures, especially gas turbine compressor blades having titanium metal skins. Titanium skins and boron aluminum composite cores are preformed by gas pressure and hard dies prior to hot pressing. The composite sheets of the core are preformed with the use of expendable carrier sheets, which hold the stacked sheets firmly as both the carrier sheets and composites are shaped through moderate temperature and gas pressure against a hard die. The preforming permanently shapes and lightly bonds the composite sheets. The skins are preformed in an analogous process using gas pressurization of a metal envelope into die cavities. The skins and composite core are then hot pressed in hard dies to form the finished part.

Abstract: Method for the continuous casting of metal strips or plates utilizing a circular mold for producing continuous semi-tubular members, said members being thereafter flattened to produce the strips or plates.

Abstract: Apparatus holds in alignment a stack of a plurality of loose laminations so that clamp bolt holes therein are held in an accurately aligned condition while the stack is compressed (in the vicinity of the bolt holes) between pads that simulate mounting pads in a compressor, and a means for applying a force localized in the bolt hole regions. The compressive forces simulate and closely approximate the compressive forces that ultimately will be applied to the bolt hole regions under the heads of mounting bolts in a compressor. Various eccentricities and dimensional variations between the bore and bolt holes are transferred to the bore, and while the stack is held with the preselected compressive forces, the bore is shaped with a roller burnisher so that it will be concentric relative to the bolt holes.

Abstract: A method which involves aligning a stack of a plurality of loose laminations so that clamp bolt holes therein are held in an accurately aligned condition while the stack is compressed (in the vicinity of the bolt holes) between pads that simulate mounting pads in a compressor, and a means for applying a force localized in the bolt hole regions. The compressive forces are preselected to simulate and closely approximate the compressive forces that ultimately will be applied to the bolt hole regions under the heads of mounting bolts in a compressor. Since the stack is initially aligned before the compressive forces are applied and while the laminations are free to shift relative to one another, the various eccentricities and dimensional variations between the bore and bolt holes are transferred to the bore. Then, while the stack is held with the preselected compressive forces, the bore is shaped to be concentric relative to the bolt holes.

Abstract: Sheet metal or strips are rolled and heated for dispersion hardening. Disks are cut (punched), stacked, and extruded. The disks in the stack may alternate with disks which have not yet been hardened. Subsequent heat treatment of the extruded product strengthens it throughout. The method is used specifically to make a dispersion-strengthened copper alloy to be used for making electrodes for resistance welding.

Abstract: Annular metallic blanks which consist of packages of interconnected laminae or of sheet metal strips which are coiled edgewise and whose strata are riveted or otherwise secured to each other are converted into stators for electrical machines by cold forming between upper and lower dies and outer and inner calibrating members so that the inner diameter of each blank is increased during cold forming, that the peripheral surface of the stator has two cylindrical portions flanking a convex median portion, and that the outermost portions of the end surfaces of the stator are formed with annular recesses. Prior to cold forming, each blank is subjected to a preliminary shaping treatment including chamfering the axial ends of its internal and peripheral surfaces.

Abstract: There is produced a ductile silver-metallic oxide semifinished product, for example a silver cadmium oxide wire, or a sheet or square rod having silver-metallic oxide, silver-metallic, and silver metalloid compounds. There are assembled in sandwich fashion several plates of internally oxidized silver-metallic oxide and of powder metallurgically produced silver-metallic oxide. The sandwich is then extrusion pressed.
