Abstract: Pressure powder metallurgy process for consolidating refractory or rhenium alloys using a reduced temperature and elevated pressure. Rhenium metal has high temperature strength and wear resistance but has a very high melting point as a pure metal and thus is difficult to use as a coating for many alloys having lower melting points. The reduced temperature and elevated pressure alloying process of the rhenium allows it to be used as a coating for other metal alloys, such as nickel and steel alloys, providing some high temperature and wear resistance due to the properties of the rhenium material in the coating.

Abstract: An alloy based on a refractory metal such as rhenium resists oxidation by the inclusion of alloying substances with affinity for oxygen or other oxidizing substances. This alloy has excellent high temperature strength and will resist oxidation. The alloy includes oxidation resistant substances, such as soluble metals, that attract oxygen and may form a protective oxide layer over the remaining portion of the rhenium-alloy part or piece. Such soluble alloying constituents may include chromium, cobalt, nickel, titanium, thorium, aluminum, hafnium, vanadium, silicon, aluminum, and yttrium.

Abstract: An assembly for the treatment of muscle injuries and the like with heat and physical action. Liquid is circulated within a closed system from a tank having heating means therein, and pump, to a flexible bag member. Flow at the inlet of the bag member is restricted to increase the velocity (and momentum) of the liquid, and the heat and momentum of the liquid are transferred through the bag walls to the portion of an individual's body to be treated. The liquid is returned from the bag to the tank. The closed system is mounted on a carrier for ready transport thereof.

Abstract: An ion fusion formation method is used to manufacture a component from successive layers of feedstock material. A plasma stream is created by energizing a flowing gas using an arc electrode, the arc electrode having a variable magnitude current supplied thereto. The plasma stream is directed to a predetermined targeted region, and the feedstock material is introduced into the plasma stream to produce a pool of molten feedstock in the predetermined targeted region, the molten feedstock being produced at a temperature determined in part by parameters of the variable magnitude current. Prior to introducing the feedstock material into the plasma stream, optimal molten feedstock parameters may be determined for producing the layers of feedstock material. Feeding parameters by which the feedstock material will be introduced into the plasma stream are then adjusted in view of the determined optimal molten feedstock parameters.
