Abstract: A method of producing an aluminium alloy having superplastic properties, including the steps of: heating the aluminium alloy; hot rolling to an exit temperature ranging from about 650 to 70°F (343 to 21°C); and cold rolling to a gauge corresponding to a percentage of cold work falling within the zone defined by the lines joining the points of A (350°F, 177°C; 10%), B (600°F, 316°C; 99%), C (70°F, 21°C; 99%) and D (70°F, 21°C; 10%), shown in Fig. 2, showing the relationship between the temperature range of the hot rolling exit temperature and the percent of cold work. In another method, a heat-treatable aluminium alloy is held after an initial hot rolling at a temperature and time period sufficient to create precipitates of intermetallic constituents having a diameter ranging from about 0.5 to 10µm, hot rolled as above and then cold rolled as above but to a gauge corresponding to a percentage of cold work falling within the zone defined by points A (475°C, 246°C; 10%), B (650°F, 343°C; 99%), C (70°F, 21°C; 99%) and D (70°F, 21°C; 10%).

Abstract: Purificn. unit for boiler exhaust, comprising an exhaust circulation pipe (21) extending from an inlet zone (22) to an outlet zone (23) and including upstream and downstream absorption stages and at least one intermediate stage (A2, ... An-1). Each stage includes a circuit (B1) for absorption milk contg. an atomiser (27-1) at the top of the stage, a reception zone (C1) connected to the bottom of the stage, and a pump (31-1) to recirculate the milk from the reception zone to the atomiser. The unit also contains a limestone/lime inlet connected to the downstream circuit; an air/oxygen injection line connected to the upstream reception zone; a milk extraction line connected to the upstream reception zone, and an overflow (30) from the downstream reception zone to the upstream zone at a level above that of the milk in the upstream reception zone. The exhaust gas circulates approximately horizontally in each absorption stage. Each intermediate stage is mounted on the overflow outlet with a milk level and a limestone/lime concn. below that of the next stage but greater than that of the previous stage, and is connected to a limestone/lime inlet and an air/oxygen injection line.

Abstract: Before or after a plate material (W) is punched out into a punched product (WA) by a punch press machine (3), the slider (51) of the punch carry out unit (7) is moved in the X-axis direction to near a punching section (15) of the punch press machine (3). At the same time, a gravity centre and a shape of the punched product (WA) are calculated and recognized on the basis of the manufacturing data, this product is then moved so that its gravity centre is placed under the lift arm (59). Further, the vacuum pads (79) located just over the punched product are discriminated. After that, the lift arm (59) is lowered and further the punched product is held by actuating only the discriminated vacuum pads (79A). In this lift motion, it is preferable to bend one end of the punched product slightly upward. After the punched product has been lifted, it is moved horizontally away from the punch press machine (3), and then lowered on the punched product supporting unit (5) by releasing only the actuated vacuum pads. Since only the vicinity of the gravity centre of the punched product can be held by a minimum possible number of the vacuum pads, irrespective of the size and shape of the punched products, the number of the vacuum pads can be reduced and therefore the system construction can be simplified, so that the carrying-out system can be compacted to economise an installation space in a factory.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés d'amortissement (40) qui consistent à utiliser un ou plusieurs éléments de tension (43, 44) en alliage à mémoire de forme capables de traverser le cycle d'une hystérèse de tension et contrainte très élastique en vue d'une dissipation d'énergie. On peut utiliser le principe décrit pour contribuer à l'amortissement dans toutes les structures (par exemple, pièces détachées de machines, structures de construction, plate-formes de forage et nanostructures) qui subissent telle ou telle vibration d'origine acoustique et seismique ou bien due au choc d'une explosion, à un impact, aux vagues et au vent. Les éléments de tension (43, 44) peuvent se présenter sous la forme de boucles ou de bandes métalliques préétirées environ jusqu'à la partie médiane de l'hystérèse de tension et contrainte. Le fait de moduler la longueur, l'épaisseur et le nombre des éléments de tension permet d'obtenir un dispositif d'amortissement (40) ayant la capacité voulue pour absorber des poussées ou des forces données. De plus, on peut mettre en place n'importe quel type de système complexe d'hystérèse par des flexions des forces, à savoir: structures en drapeau triangulaire, en rectangle, en drapeau rectangulaire, en n÷ud papillon, ou bien encore structures dont les caractéristiques permettent d'obtenir un durcissement ou un amollissement.
