| 8123146 | Wire combustion with increased application rates Shaping the feed wire for a combustion wire thermal spray process improves the operating capability of the combustion wire gun through higher feed rates and high operating efficiencies. The efficiency of the wire melting is increased over conventional systems throug... | 02/28/2012 |
| 8109447 | Intrinsically safe valve for a combustion spray gun and a method of operation A valve for a combustion spray gun. An apparatus includes a torsion element rotatable relative to a housing of the combustion spray gun to a charged position. The apparatus also includes a biasing element applying a force to the torsion element, which force urges th... | 02/07/2012 |
| 7462393 | Spray powder for the manufacture of a thermally insulating layer which remains resistant at high temperatures The spray powder can be used for the manufacture of a thermally insulating layer which is resistant to high temperatures. A coating of this kind, a so-called TBC, can be produced on a substrate by means of a thermal spraying process. The substrate can already be coa... | 12/09/2008 |
| 7392930 | Iron-based braze filler metal for high-temperature applications Brazing filler metal compositions have excellent wettability to nickel/cobalt/iron-based base metals and produce braze joints with high strength and heat/corrosion resistance. The iron-based braze filler metal includes chromium in amounts between about 20 to 35 perc... | 07/01/2008 |
| 7223067 | Flow machine with a ceramic abradable The flow machine is furnished with an abradable (10) made of a particle composite material. This so-called composite (1) contains granular core particles (2) of a ceramic material. The surfaces (20) of the granular core particles carry fu... | 05/29/2007 |
