| 7497402 | Storage and transportation of aluminium strip The invention is particularly directed to the problem of creep deformation in a coiled aluminum strip, which occurs during coiling and for a period thereafter. The problem arises because the profile of the strip across its width is not flat, and is in fact usually t... | 03/03/2009 |
| 6544358 | A1 alloy and method An aluminium alloy in the AA5XXX series has the composition: Si 0.10-0.25 %; Fe 0.18-0.30 %; Cu up to 0.5 %; Mn 0.4-0.7 %; Mg 3.0-3.5%; Cr up to 0.2%; and Ti up to 0.1%. Rolled and annealed sheet of the alloy is readily formed into shaped components for u... | 04/08/2003 |
| 6533877 | Process of manufacturing high strength aluminum foil High strength foil having dead fold foil characteristics is produced without the rolling and other production problems encountered with prior high strength foils by controlling manganese content, interannealing temperatures and, optionally, final annealin... | 03/18/2003 |
| 5783530 | Non-staining solid lubricants As a lubricant for cold-working of metal there is provided on the surface of the metal to be subjected to working a solid film of a saturated aliphatic monohydric alcohol having 14 to 18 carbon atoms. After the metal has been worked, the solid lubricant m... | 07/21/1998 |
| 5720904 | Electroconductive tin oxide Electroconductive doped tin (IV) oxide is produced in bulk by combining a first material which is selected from: a) a thermal precursor of a dopant element; b) a tin (II) compound comprising a dopant element; and c) a mixture of materials each falling within (a) or... | 02/24/1998 |
| 5395489 | Electrochemically roughening aluminum metal sheet A method of electrochemically roughening an aluminum metal sheet for use as a lithographic plate support comprises subjecting the sheet in an electrolyte to an alternating current treatment. Treatment is performed in the presence of at least one added com... | 03/07/1995 |
| 5062928 | Process for producing color change devices incorporating latent indicia and the resulting devices A process for producing color change devices incorporating latent indicia and color change devices incorporating latent indicia produced by the process. The process involves anodizing a color generating metal, having limited surface areas thereof covered ... | 11/05/1991 |
