Patent CA-2671916-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FENTON WAYNE J
IPC: B22D11/00
Filed: 2004-06-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for the casting of a composite metal ingot comprising at least two separately formed layers of one or more alloys. An open ended annular mould has a feed end and an exit end and divider wall for dividing the feed end into at least two separate feed chambers, where each feed chamber is adjacent at least one other feed chamber. For each pair of adjacent feed chambers a first alloy stream is fed through one of the pair of feed chambers into the mould and a second alloy stream is fed through another of the feed chambers. A self-supporting surface is generated on the surface of the first alloy stream and the second alloy stream is contacted with the first stream such that the upper surface of the second alloy stream is maintained at a position such that it first contacts the self-supporting surface where the self-supporting surface temperature is between the liquidus and solidus temperatures of the first alloy or it first contacts the self-supporting surface where the self-supporting surface temperature is below the solidus temperatures of the first alloy but the interface between the two alloys is then reheated to between the liquidus and solidus temperatures, whereby the two alloy streams are joined as two layers. The joined alloy layers are then cooled to form a composite ingot. This composite ingot has a substantially continuous metallurgical bond between alloy layers with dispersed particles of one or more intermetallic compositions of the first alloy in a region of the second alloy adjacent the interface.

Abstract: A container for dispensing various compositions includes a pourable spout located within a breachable bubble. In one embodiment, for instance, the container can be made from flexible polymer films. The container can include a sealed perimeter that defines an opening where a pourable spout is located. A locking bubble can be located over the opening for preventing liquids from being dispensed from the container prior to opening the bubble. When it is desired to dispense the container, the bubble can be breached which therefore allows the contents of the container to be dispensed through the opening.
