Filed:

Jul 16, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/503918

Inventors:

Fred Wolfe - Rougemont NC, US

Assignee:

SCM Metal Products, Inc. - Research Triangle Park NC

International Classification:

B32B 5/18
B23K 1/20
B23K 31/02
B32B 15/01

US Classification:

428613, 2282481, 228200

Abstract:

A method is provided for brazing porous metal parts. By heating a filler metal such as a brazing alloy containing composition to a temperature between the solidus and liquidus temperature, the brazing alloy can be caused to partially infiltrate the pores of a porous metal part. After being infiltrated, the brazing alloy containing composition may be cooled and thereby able to form a strong adhesion between the porous metal parts and another material. The other material may, for example, be a solid material or another porous metal part.

Abstract:

A method is provided for producing metallic platelets. By determining the ratio of the diameter of the metal source to the thickness of the metallic platelet and the workability of the metal source, a high quality metallic platelet can be developed. According to this method, the platelets that are produced can be used in such applications as building and construction materials for improved weather-resistance, heat-reflection/management, anti-fouling resistance and architectural appearance.
