Title: Procede et appareil de soudage a l'arc ameliore
Inventor: KURZ ROLAND
IPC: B23K9/20
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour souder un composant (28) métallique à une pièce (40) métallique. Le composant (28) comporte d'ordinaire une région (36) métallique à souder et une région d'assemblage filetée. L'appareil comporte une tête de soudage comprenant une buse (8) qui maintient la région (36) à souder du composant (28) jouxtant la pièce (40). La tête de soudage induit un arc de soudage entre la région (36) à souder du composant (28) et la pièce (40) de façon à créer un bain de fusion de matériau fondu. Par la suite, la tête de soudage déplace la région à souder dans le bain de fusion pour souder de manière permanente le composant (28) à la pièce (40). L'appareil comprend en outre une source de liquide sous pression et un régulateur de débit du liquide qui dirige le liquide sous pression entre la tête de soudage, le composant et le bain de fusion de façon à éloigner, de la région d'assemblage du composant (28), tout résidu liquide en suspension provenant du bain de fusion.

Abstract: A method for producing a porous cross-linked polymer
sheet capable of slicing quickly is provided. This method
comprises a step for obtaining a porous cross-linked polymer
by forming and polymerizing an HIPE, a step for dehydrating
the porous cross-linked polymer, and a step for subsequently
slicing the dehydrated porous cross-linked polymer. According
to this invention, by performing the step of dehydration prior
to the conventional step of slicing, it is made possible to
prevent the porous cross-linked polymer from adhering to the
blade and the guides provided for a slicer, and allow the
slicing to be attained quickly. By removing the salt from
the polymer, it is further made possible to prevent a production
device from gathering rust and the porous cross-linked polymer
from permitting adhesion of rust thereto.
