AVERELL HARRIMAN, Secretary NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS E. U. CONDON, Director NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATION M184 UNITED STATES PATENTS ON POWDER METALLURGY By RAYMOND E. JAGER and ROLLA E. POLLARD Issued July 1 , 1947 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1947 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office Washington 25, D. C. - Price 30 cents PREFACE Patents are disclosures of inventions, in return for which the inventor is given the right to exclude all others from making, using, or selling his invention for the term of 17 years. After this period the invention becomes public property. Patent literature is a valuable source of technical information, for, by these disclosures, the de- velopment of an art may be traced through a long period of time. This publication, based on a collection search of United States patents of the present series, which began in 1836, represents more than a century of progress in the art of powder metallurgy. Patents issued up to January 1, 1947, are included. The collection search was made for the National Bureau of Standards by Invention, Inc., under the direction of Raymond E. Jager, president: R. E Pollard, metallurgist, of the Bureau's staff, edited the abstracts, eliminating those not pertinent to powder metallurgy, and revised the classification. E. U. Condon, Director. n CONTENTS Page.

Pollard ABSTRACT A total of 2,253 United States Patents pertaining to powder metallurgy are classified under four main headings: production, handling and working, alloying, and applications. Under these main headings, the patents are listed by number in chronological order, together with the name of the inventor and a short abstract of the patent. Patents issued up to January 1, 1947, are included. I. INTRODUCTION Patent literature is a valuable source of technical information that undoubtedly would be more widely used if compiled listings of all patents relating to a particular subject were available. Unfortunately, a collection search of patents is a laborious and time-consuming job that requires expert knowledge of the intricacies of the United States Patent Office classification system. It is the purpose of this report to provide a comprehensive list of patents relating to powder metallurgy, classified in related groups and with a short abstract of each invention, to simplify the study of patent literature on this subject. The collection search on which this report is based was exhaustive, and the report, therefore, covers the field of powder metallurgy, com- prehensively. More than 50 subclasses in the United States Patent Office were searched thoroughly and nearly one hundred fifty other subclasses were examined. All patents issued since September 1942, regardless of classification, have been examined and those relating to powder metallurgy have been included in the report, up to January 1,1947. The term "powder metallurgy' ' usually is applied to the art of mak- ing objects by pressing and heating metal powders which may or may not contain nonmetallic additions. This excludes some of the most important industrial uses of metal powders such as paint pigments, metallic coatings, catalysts, etc. However, the methods of produc- tion, handling and classification of metal powders are very much the same whether the powder is used as such or is pressed and sintered. For this reason, some of the applications named above are included in the report. Many metallurgical processes in which metal powders are produced as a step in refining or processing ores are omitted. The machines used in powder metallurgy, such as grinding mills, presses, briquetting machines, furnaces, etc. generally are omitted because in most cases they were obtained from other arts with little structural change. However, some machines developed for particular applica- tions of powder metallurgy, such as bearings or magnetic dust cores, are included. Most of the devices used in testing metal powders such 1 2 Miscellaneous Publications, National Bureau of Standards as sieves, flow meters, turbidimeters, air separators, etc. also were borrowed from other arts and generally are omitted unless developed particularly for metal powders. Classification of 2,253 patents would be difficult even in a less heterogeneous field than powder metallurgy. However, an attempt has been made to organize the report so that the patents on a given phase of the art can be ascertained by use of the table of contents. It will be noted that the patents are classified under four main head- ings: Production, handling and working, alloying, and applications. Subheadings under each of these are in alphabetical order according to the first, or key, word. Under each of the subheadings the patents are arranged in numerical order according to the patent numbers, which means that they are also in chronological order. Many of the patents might be classified in any one of several classes. However, as each patent is listed in only one place, the classification has been arranged whenever possible according to the final product. In other words, those of a general nature are placed under the first three head- ings while those pertaining to a particular article are placed under Applications. An exception to this will be noted in Section IV, 3, wherein, under a general heading describing very hard metal compo- sitions, are listed such particular products as cutting tools so that most of these closely related applications may be found in one group.

    Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC

    Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society 81, 2015, pp. 361–392 © The Prehistoric Society doi:10.1017/ppr.2015.17 Connected Histories: the Dynamics of Bronze Age Interaction and Trade 1500–1100 BC By KRISTIAN KRISTIANSEN1 and PAULINA SUCHOWSKA-DUCKE2 The Bronze Age was the first epoch in which societies became irreversibly linked in their co-dependence on ores and metallurgical skills that were unevenly distributed in geographical space. Access to these critical resources was secured not only via long-distance physical trade routes, making use of landscape features such as river networks, as well as built roads, but also by creating immaterial social networks, consisting of interpersonal relations and diplomatic alliances, established and maintained through the exchange of extraordinary objects (gifts). In this article, we reason about Bronze Age communication networks and apply the results of use-wear analysis to create robust indicators of the rise and fall of political and commercial networks. In conclusion, we discuss some of the historical forces behind the phenomena and processes observable in the archaeological record of the Bronze Age in Europe and beyond.

  • Ion Sources for High-Power Hadron Accelerators

    Ion Sources for High-Power Hadron Accelerators

    Ion sources for high-power hadron accelerators Daniel C. Faircloth Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Oxfordshire, UK Abstract Ion sources are a critical component of all particle accelerators. They create the initial beam that is accelerated by the rest of the machine. This paper will introduce the many methods of creating a beam for high-power hadron accelerators. A brief introduction to some of the relevant concepts of plasma physics and beam formation is given. The different types of ion source used in accelerators today are examined. Positive ion sources for producing H+ ions and multiply charged heavy ions are covered. The physical principles involved with negative ion production are outlined and different types of negative ion sources are described. Cutting edge ion source technology and the techniques used to develop sources for the next generation of accelerators are discussed. 1 Introduction 1.1 Ion source basics An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, thus giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge. The name ion (from the Greek ιον, meaning "going") was first suggested by William Whewell in 1834. Michael Faraday used the term to refer to the charged particles that carry current in his electrolysis experiments. Ion sources consist of two parts: a plasma generator and an extraction system. The plasma generator must be able to provide enough of the correct ions to the extraction system. There are numerous ways of making plasma: electrical discharges in all of their forms; heating by many different means; using lasers; or even being hit by beams of other particles.

Such regulations can be found on the local, national, and international levels, but each level must be considered with the others in mind. This Paper documents the growth of wine regulation throughout the world, focusing primarily on the national and international levels. The regulations of France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand are examined in the context of the European Community and United Nations. Particular attention is given to the diverse ways in which each country has developed its laws and compromised between tradition and internationalism. I.

M-80s are an American class of large firecrackers, sometimes called SALUTES.[1] The Simulator, Artillery, M-80 was originally made in the early 20th century by the U.S. military to simulate explosives or artillery fire;[2] later, M-80s were manufactured as fireworks. Traditionally, M-80s were made from a small cardboard 1 tube, often red, approximately 1 ⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) long 9 and ⁄16 inch (1.4 cm) inside diameter, with a fuse or wick coming out of the side; this type fuse is commonly known as cannon fuse or Visco fuse, after a company responsible for standardizing the product. The tubes M-80 Salute (BOOTLEG) often hold approximately 2½–3 grams of pyrotechnic flash powder; many sources state that an M-80 carries 3 grams of powder.[3] Contents ◾ 1 Legality ◾ 1.1 Canada ◾ 1.2 United States ◾ 2 Accidents ◾ 3 References ◾ 4 Further reading Legality Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-80_(explosive) 8/14/2015 M-80 (explosive) - Wikipedia,visited the free encyclopediaon 8/14/2015 Page 2 of 4 M-80s are not authorized under the law, thus making importation, possession, transportation, storage or manufacturing illegal in Canada.[4] Firecrackers, including the M-80, can be purchased from Native Reserves in Canada, as they have different governing laws. United States Due to property damages and bodily harm caused by M-80s, Class C fireworks—now known as consumer fireworks (class 1.4G), as opposed to display fireworks (which were Class B, and are now 1.3G)[5]— civilians require a license, issued by federal authorities, for pyrotechnic devices containing a charge in excess of 50 milligrams of pyrotechnic flash powder.

Aerial fireworks devices intended to produce an audible effect are limited to 130 mg (2 grains) of pyrotechnic composition, according to 16 C.F.R. § 1500.17(a)(3). Because the regulation only limits the amount of pyrotechnic composition for devices intended to produce an audible effect, compliance determinations can be made only after a subjective determination of intent to produce an audible effect. In 2012, staff conducted testing to evaluate two different approaches to replacing the regulation limiting pyrotechnic composition of devices intended to produce an audible effect; staff considered potential alternative regulations, based on the explosive power of fireworks devices. The American Fireworks Standards Laboratory (AFSL) had previously developed a “Black Powder Equivalency Test.” CPSC staff investigated and found that this test can distinguish between the energetics of black powder, hybrid powders, and flash powder, but the test does not consider the particular construction of a shell.
