Abstract:
An aluminum or aluminum-alloy material sheet comprised of an aluminum material having an ultra-fine, submicron grain structure. The strength and physical properties of the aluminum or aluminum-alloy material sheet are improved over previous aluminum and aluminum-alloy material sheets because the aluminum is produced by cryomilling the aluminum or aluminum-alloy materials into a metal powder with ultra-fine, submicron grain structure. The powder is consolidated and rolled into the form of a sheet.
Abstract:
The invention is a high-strength, pre-coated, aluminum or aluminum-alloy component comprising an aluminum or aluminum-alloy article having ultra-fine, submicron grain microstructure and an organic coating of phenolic resin applied to the surface of the article. The article is prepared from a coarse grain aluminum or aluminum-alloy material that is cryomilled into an ultra-fine, submicron grain material, degassed, and densified. The densified material is formed into an article, and coated with an organic coating containing phenolic resin prior to installation or assembly.
Abstract:
A drive wheel has a generally cylindrical exterior surface with a circumferential groove. A block has a cylindrical working surface in sliding contact with the drive wheel, an operational face with an opening there through. A die is located in the opening and has an interior surface constituting a continuation of the working surface of the block. The die has an exit opening. A diverter is secured to the die and extends into the recess with a leading abutment edge positioned in operative proximity to the exit opening.
