Appl. No.:

9/055529

Inventors:

Robert Ray Proctor - Pleasant Grove UT

Assignee:

Geneva Steel - Provo UT

International Classification:

H01F 720

US Classification:

335291

Abstract:

Disclosed is an electromagnet design that can be quickly disassembled, repaired, and reassemble. In one embodiment the electromagnet comprises a housing having a housing cavity. Carved or molded into the housing is a pair of opposing slots. An electromagnetic core comprising a ferromagnetic material wrapped with electrical wire is disposed within the housing cavity. A pair of braces are lodged within the slots in the housing cavity such that they overlap the electromagnetic core. A center shoe engages the braces and is secured to the housing by six bolts. The slots, braces, and center shoe design cooperate to secure the electromagnetic core within the housing cavity.

Abstract:

A method of forming a ferrous metal case-hardened layer using additive manufacturing. The method includes delivering, by a material delivery device, a filler material to a surface of a substrate. The substrate includes a first ferrous metal. The filler material includes a second ferrous metal and a carbon-based material. The method also includes directing, by an energy delivery device, an energy toward a volume of the filler material to join at least some of the filler material to the substrate to form a component.

International Classification:

B23K 20/12

Abstract:

Example techniques include contacting a surface of a substrate including a metal or alloy with a rotating friction stir tool, and penetrating at least a portion of the rotating friction stir tool to a predetermined depth below the surface while rotating to agitate a stir region below the surface. The agitating modifies an average grain size of the metal or alloy in the stir region and an average grain size of the metal or alloy in a second region outside of and adjacent to the stir region compared to an average grain size of the metal or alloy outside of the stir region and the second region to modify a microhardness of the metal or alloy in the stir region and a microhardness of the metal or alloy in the second region compared to a microhardness of the metal or alloy outside of the stir region and the second region.
