The powder coupon is then positioned over the component and heat is applied to fully sinter the powder particles, thus causing the powder coupon to shrink onto the component. The heat also activates the bonding agent to bond the shrunken powder coupon to the component, but the heat does not sinter the material forming the fully consolidated component. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140271319 | CLADDED ARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - In one aspect, methods of making cladded articles are described herein. A method of making a cladded article, in some embodiments, comprises disposing over a surface of a metallic substrate a sheet comprising organic binder and powder metal or powder alloy having a solidus temperature at least 100° C. less than the metallic substrate and heating the powder metal or powder alloy to provide a sintered metal or sintered alloy cladding metallurgically bonded to the metallic substrate. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150366682 | RADIOPAQUE DRUG-FILLED PROSTHESIS AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - An implantable prosthesis can comprise a strut having a lumen, and radiopaque particles within the lumen. The radiopaque particles placed within the lumen can improve visualization of the prosthesis during an implantation procedure. The radiopaque particles can be bonded to each other to prevent the radiopaque particles from escaping out of the strut. | 12-24-2015 |
| 20150381020 | METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING ALUMINUM CARBON NANOTUBE MATERIALS FOR STRUCTURAL AND CONDUCTOR APPLICATIONS - A method of in situ formation of an aluminum carbon nanotube composite material and an induction motor component produced with such composite. The method includes forming an aluminum-based matrix by mixing a catalyst precursor with an aluminum powder such that a colloidal compound is formed that is subsequently sintered to leave a catalytically-active material formed on the surface of the aluminum powder. A carbon-containing gas is introduced to the composite catalyst that includes aluminum and the catalytic metal so that carbon nanotube reinforcements are grown on the aluminum-based matrix with the assistance of the catalytically-active metal. Additional mechanical processing steps may also include pressurizing, sintering and cold-rolling the aluminum carbon nanotube composite material. | 12-31-2015 |
| 20160144434 | METHOD OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURING ARTICLES INCORPORATING A SUBSTRATE - An additive manufacturing system includes a support structure defining a cavity. A movable platform is contained within the cavity, and is capable of moving along a build direction within the cavity. The movable platform is shaped to receive and hold a substrate that includes at least a portion of a finished part. The movable platform, in combination with the substrate, defines a working surface for building a finished product via additive manufacturing. | 05-26-2016 |
