Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for removing particles from a slurry tank and a method thereof. SOLUTION: A system 10 for removing particles from a slurry tank 14 includes a filtering device 12 and a controller 18. The filtering device 12 collects and removes particles deposited within the slurry tank 14 and the controller 18 controls the placement and movement of the filtering device 12 with respect to the slurry tank 14. The filtering device 12 is provided with a first rod 20a, a second rod 20b, a third rod 20c, an upper panel 22, a lower panel 24, a filter 26, a connector 28 and a collecting tray 30.

Abstract:
A directional solidification apparatus includes a mold heating chamber, a solidification chamber, and a gas source. The solidification chamber is adjacent the mold heating chamber for solidifying molten metal formed from an air melt allow system as a cast body as the metal is withdrawn from the mold heating chamber. The gas source is in fluid communication with the mold heating chamber for providing a pressurized atmosphere for directionally solidifying metal as a cast body having single crystal or multi-crystal columnar micro structure.
Abstract:
An article such as a heat shield panel includes a substrate and a multi-layered coating supported on the substrate. The multi-layered coating can include alternating layers of different ceramic material compositions having individual thicknesses of less than 25 micrometers.
Abstract:
A coated article has: a metallic substrate (22); a bondcoat (30); and a thermal barrier coating (TBC) (28; 28'). The bondcoat has an MCrAlY first layer (32) and an MCrAlY second layer (34), the second layer having a lower Cr content than the first layer.
Abstract:
La presente invención describe un proceso de fusión a la cera perdida, en donde se forma un núcleo compuesto como una combinación de un elemento de núcleo de fusión cerámico y un elemento de núcleo de fusión no cerámico. El núcleo se calienta en una atmósfera oxidante y luego se calienta en una atmósfera no oxidante.
Abstract:
In an investment casting process, a composite core is formed as a combination of ceramic casting core element and a non-ceramic casting core element. The core is heated in an oxidative atmosphere and then heated in a non-oxidative atmosphere.
Abstract:
An article (50; 100) has a metallic substrate (22), a bondcoat (30) atop the substrate, and a thermal barrier coating (28; 27, 28) atop the bondcoat. The thermal barrier coating or a layer thereof comprises didymium oxide ore and zirconia.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a multi-material tubular structure includes spinning a can, depositing a powdered material into the can and compacting the powdered material within the can to provide a tubular structure.
Abstract:
A shot tube assembly for a die casting process includes a spiral passage for circulating a coolant about a cavity containing the molten metal material. The circulating coolant provides temperature control of the shot tube that improves the casting process and increases shot tube life.
