Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a fluid cooling and lubricating system for metal rod being rolled down from a continuously cast bar and includes a multiple pressure arrangement wherein high pressure fluid is utilized to cool and descale the rod as well as the hot-forming rolls by spraying and wherein low pressure fluid is additionally utilized for cooling and lubrication by flooding roll stand entrance and exit rod-guide housings. Direct and controlled spray cooling of the hot-formed rod is obtained by wide-angled nozzles having solenoid-operated valves responsive to the exit temperature of the rod which is monitored by a photopyrometer whereby the volume of coolant is controlled to obtain a uniform finishing temperature of the rod.
Abstract:
WHAT IS DISCLOSED HEREIN IS A METHOD OF PRODUCING A HOT-FORMED ALUMINUM-BASE PRODUCT FROM MOLTEN METAL BY SOLIDIFYING A MOLTEN ALUMINUM-BASE METAL TO OBTAIN A CAST METAL, INITIATING THE HOT-FORMING OF THE CAST METAL WHILE THE CAST METAL IS IN SUBSTANTIALLY THAT CONDITION IN WHICH IT SOLIDIFIED, AND NOT-FORMING THE CAST METAL BY DEFORMING THE CAST METAL A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF TIMES TO CAUSE THE CAST METAL TO ELONGATE AT LEAST BY A FACTOR OF TWENTY ALONG AN AXIS OF ELONGATION AND TO CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL MOVEMENT OF THE CAST METAL ALONG A PLURALITY OF AXES SUBSTANTIALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE AXIS OF ELONGATION. THE METHOD PRODUCES A HOT-FORMED ALUMINUM-BASE PRODUCT IN WHICH THE AS-CAST GRAIN STRUCTURE OF THE CAST METAL IS SUBSTANTIALLY
COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE METHOD IS DISCLOSED AS USING A CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE IN WHICH MOLTEN ALUMINUMBASE METAL IS SOLIDIFIED TO OBTAIN A CAST METAL AND A ROLLING MILL TO WHICH THE CAST METAL IS PASSED AT HOT-FORMING TEMPERATURE FROM THE CASTING MACHINE AND WHICH HAS A PLURALITY OF ROLL STANDS WHICH ALTERNATIVELY CHANGE THE TRANSVERSE CROSS-SECTIONAL SHAPE OF THE CAST METAL.

1,186,594. Fluid filter. FRAM CORP. 3 May, 1967 [1 July, 1966], No. 20632/67. Heading B1D. In Fig. 2 outward flow pleated filter element 30a and inward flow pleated elements 32a with a radius ratio of 1, 2, 3 are positioned for mutual support against the pressures of normal filtering flow. In the embodiment of Fig. 5 which has a 2, 4, 5 radius ratio, the forces on elements 30b, 32b due to the filtration flow are equal because the filtering surface areas are equal. The filter elements may be frusto conical. Paper filter elements are described which are sealed to top and bottom end caps. The filter may filter oil from an automotive engine. A non rigid member may be inserted between the filter elements. Other embodiments are described. The elements may be formed from a single length of pleated paper folded on itself.
Abstract:
A method of producing a hot-formed copper-base product from a molten metal. In a hot-formed copper-base product produced by the method, the copper-base metal has copper oxide inclusions which are substantially uniformly dispersed and has a substantially uniform fine grain structure. In the form of a rod of tough pitch copper, the hot-formed copper-base product produced by the method is superior to prior art hot-formed copper-base products for drawing into wire and for other uses. When used to produce a hotformed copper-base product in the from of a rod of tough pitch copper, the method includes substantially completely solidifying a molten copper-base metal to obtain a cast metal and hot-forming the cast metal into rod, the hot-forming being initiated while the cast metal is in substantially that condition in which it solidified and being of sufficient degree to substantially completely destroy the columnar dendritic structure of the cast metal.
