Abstract:
This invention is directed to an improved bonded sputter target/backing plate assembly and a method of making these assemblies. The assembly includes a sputter target having side and bottom bonding surfaces bonded within a recess in an underlying backing plate, the recess having top and side bonding surfaces. The method of forming the bonded assembly includes treating the bonding surfaces of either the sputter target or backing plate recess by roughening at least a portion of the bonding surfaces so as to produce a roughened portion having a surface roughness (R.sub.a) of at least about 120 micro-inches. The method further includes orienting the sputter target within the backing plate recess to form one assembly having a parallel interface defined by the top and bottom bonding surfaces and a side interface defined by the side bonding surfaces, subjecting the assembly to a controlled atmosphere, heating the assembly, and pressing the assembly so as to bond the bonding surfaces.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for joining conveyed steel pieces in a hot rolling mill are disclosed. A joining apparatus having a series of fusing torches extending laterally across the steel path is used, either before a rough rolling stage or between rough rolling and finish rolling. The fusing torches which operate at the side edges of the pieces to be joined are controlled to have independent movement by a controller, in such a way that the time elapsing between fusing and pressing together of portions at the lateral edges of the join line does not exceed a critical time for regrowth of oxide scale. Various mounting and control techniques for the fusing torches are proposed, including the possibility of two independently-driveable sets the controller can base its control of the torches on steel strip width information obtained from the processing path.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for joining two essentially metal sheet-type workpieces. In said method, edge regions of the workpieces to be joined are bent by up to 90° in relation to a plane of the workpiece, the bent edge regions being placed against each other, and the edge regions are then heated to a predefined joining temperature by at least one first frictional element that moves relative to the edge regions, are subjected to a certain contact pressure, and are joined while being deformed.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a welding method for materials to be welded which are subjected to fluoride passivation treatment, and a fluoride passivation retreatment method, wherein, when fluoride passivation retreatment was conducted after welding, there is no generation of particles or dust, and superior resistance is provided to fluorine system gases.In the present invention, when materials to be welded comprising stainless steel subjected to fluoride passivation treatment are welded, hydrogen is added to the gas (the back shield gas) flowing through the materials to be welded. Furthermore, in the welding method for materials to be welded which are subjected to fluoride passivation treatment in accordance with the present invention, the thickness of the fluoride passivated film in a predetermined range from the butt end surfaces of the materials to be welded, comprising stainless steel subjected to a fluoride passivation treatment, is set to 10 nm or less, and welding is conducted. Furthermore, in the fluoride passivation retreatment method in accordance with the present invention, after conducting the welding method described above, at least the welded parts are heated, and a gas containing fluorine gas is caused to flow in the interior part.
Abstract:
In a method of cleaning metal surfaces to be welded together, at least one jet carrying particles of solid carbon dioxide is caused to come into contact with the surfaces, where the solid carbon dioxide is allowed to sublime at the surfaces. The jet is formed by passing a stream of pressurised liquid carbon dioxide through a nozzle under pressure.
Abstract:
It is an object to provide a water-soluble preflux containing a low-volatile solubilizing agent excellent in performance to dissolve an imidazole compound in water and capable of bringing out an excellent film-forming property of the imidazole compound and also to provide a treating method for the surface of a metal conductive part which comprises bringing the surface into contact with the above water-soluble preflux.
Abstract:
In a process for brazing a metal in a continuous manner, a work consisting of a base metal and a part to be brazed thereto is disposed in a box-shaped heat retaining container which is opened at its upper portion to surround lower and side surfaces of the work and fixing the work by a retaining jig. The work within said heat retaining container is heated by a continuous combustion in a gas burner, so that the temperature of said work is raised to a predetermined preheating temperature. Then, the work is subjected to a soaking treatment at the preheating temperature by switching-over the combustion in the gas burner to a pulse combustion. The continuous combustion in the gas burner is restarted to raise the temperature of the work to a brazing temperature, and then, the part is brazed to said base metal with the temperature of the work maintained at the brazing temperature by switching-over the combustion in the gas burner to a pulse combustion.
