Heat Exchanger Cast In Metal Matrix Composite And Method Of Making The Same

US Patent:
6668912, Dec 30, 2003
Filed:
Aug 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/222619
Inventors:
Richard Adams - Marlboro MA
Kevin Fennessy - New Bedford MA
Mark Occhionero - Milford MA
Mark Rossi - Warwick RI
Assignee:
Ceramic Process Systems, Inc. - Chartley MA
International Classification:
F28F 700
US Classification:
165 804, 165185, 164 98
Abstract:
The specification and drawings describe and show an embodiment of and method of forming a liquid flow through heat exchanger structure cast in a metal matrix composite. The composite comprises a preform reinforcement material infiltrated with molten metal. The composite reinforcement material is injection molded around the heat exchanger structure allowing for intimate contact between the composite and structure. The composite formed has a specific coefficient of thermal expansion to match an active heat-generating device mounted thereon. The present invention allows for enhanced thermal and mechanical properties by eliminating voids or gaps at the composite to heat exchanger structure interface, these voids or gaps being present in prior art fabrication methods or induced by usage due to thermal cycling of prior art composites. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1. 72(b).

Multi-Structure Metal Matrix Composite Armor And Method Of Making The Same

US Patent:
6895851, May 24, 2005
Filed:
Jun 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/462547
Inventors:
Richard Adams - Marlboro MA, US
Mark Occhionero - Milford MA, US
Assignee:
Ceramics Process Systems - Chartley MA
International Classification:
F41H005/04
US Classification:
89 3602, 428547, 428548
Abstract:
A lightweight armor system may comprise multiple reinforcement materials layered within a single metal matrix casting. These reinforcement materials may comprise ceramics, metals, or other composites with microstructures that may be porous, dense, fibrous or particulate. Various geometries of flat plates, and combinations of reinforcement materials may be utilized. These reinforcement materials are infiltrated with liquid metal, the liquid metal solidifies within the material layers of open porosity forming a dense hermetic metal matrix composite armor in the desired product shape geometry. The metal infiltration process allows for metal to penetrate throughout the overall structure extending from one layer to the next, thereby binding the layers together and integrating the structure.

International Classification:
B05D 512, C03C 1400
US Classification:
427123
Abstract:
A ceramic material suitable for packaging of large scale integrated circuits is produced by the process of forming a mixture of a powdered glass ceramic material which is a glassy precursor to cordierite ceramic material, formed by the steps which are as follows: a. Mix tetragonal phase material selected from the group consisting of zirconia of hafnia powder containing a stabilizing oxide compound selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO and Y. sub. 2 O. sub. 3 and a glass frit powder or frit of a glassy precursor of cordierite glass ceramic to yield a suspension of solids. Preferably, a binder is included. b. Disperse the suspended solids to yield a dispersion of the zirconia or hafnia with the stabilizing oxide compound and the glassy precursor. c. Densify the dispersion of zirconia or hafnia with the stabilizing oxide compound and the glassy precursor by a sintering heat treatment at a temperature of about 840. degree. C. to melt the glassy precursor into a viscous fluid at a temperature below the melting point of the zirconia or hafnia powder particles to yield a densified intermediate material with the zirconia or hafnia particles encapsulated in the molden glassy precursor. d.

Abstract:
A process for forming articles from inorganic sinterable particulates includes providing a well-dispersed, low pressure injectable slurry, freeze-forming the slurry into a desired geometry, and drying the piece so formed by a predominantly sublimative process, to produce a green article that can be conventionally sintered. The vehicle has a volume change on freezing of not more than. +-. 10% by volume; to further control the volume change on freezing, an emulsion derived from different vehicles can be tailored. The slurries preferably have a solids content of at least about 35 v/o, a viscosity of preferably not more than about 1000 cP at 100 s. sup. -1, and are preferably injectable at not more than about 1000 psi, usually at less than 100 psi.
