Title: Process for treating diamond grains
IPC: C09C1/68
Filed: 1987-07-29
Abstract: For the use of diamond particles as a component part of machining tools or other tools, it is customary to hold the diamond particles in a bond, in particular a metallic bond. Retention is increased in this case if the diamond particles have a roughened surface. This can take place by etching. In the case of the known methods for processing the surface of the diamonds, they are, however, partially destroyed if processing takes place at high temperatures, that is to say in excess of 1000 DEG C, or there is a great loss of diamond material. This is overcome if, to increase their surface area to at least twice the size of their natural surface area by making pores in them, the diamond particles (1) are embedded in a metal powder and subjected to a stream of hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas at a temperature above 700 DEG C. Thereafter, the diamond particles (1) can be cleaned with an acid. Iron, cobalt, nickel or an alloy of these metals come into consideration as metal powder.

Date May 29, 1997Packaging containers for liquid contents, for example milk, are normally manufactured from laminated packaging material including a carrier or core layer of fiber material which is coated on each side with plastic layers. In order to facilitate folding of the material, this is normally provided with a pattern of weakening crease lines which facilitate the reforming into the desired packaging container configuration. A method of retroforming or calibrating a packaging container for realizing more accurate final configuration, sharper fold lines and thereby for imparting to the packaging container improved steadiness and stability comprises the steps of surrounding the packaging container (1) with a forming device (11) adapted to the final configuration of the packaging container, and of displacing parts (12, 13) of the forming device towards one another so that the free space for the packaging container is briefly reduced. An apparatus for carrying the method according to the present invention into effect comprises a forming device (11) with moving forming parts which, in the closed position, define a forming cavity of a volume which amounts to between 100 and 110 per cent of the theoretical minimum volume of a processed packaging container.

Title: Method of making shaped ceramic composites
Inventor: NEWKIRK MARC S
IPC: C22C29/12
Filed: 1987-12-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a self-supporting ceramic composite by the oxidation of a parent metal (10) to form a polycrystalline ceramic material consisting essentially of the oxidation reaction product of the parent metal (10) with an oxidant, including a vapor-phase oxidant, and, optionally, one or more metallic constituents. A permeable filler material, such as a preform (14), with at least one surface bearing a permeble stratum (18), is contacted with a body of molten parent metal (10) heated to a temperature above its melting point but below the melting point of the oxidation reaction product. At least a portion of the oxidation reaction product is maintained in contact with and between the molten metal (10) and oxidant to transport the molten metal through the oxidation reaction product toward the permeable stratum (18) and into contact with the oxidant so that the oxidation reaction product continues to form at the interface between the oxidant and previously formed oxidation reaction product that has infiltrated the filler material. The reaction is continued to infiltrate at least a portion of the stratum (18) with the oxidation reaction product and to produce an intermediate ceramic body having an adjacent ceramic composite overlaid with a ceramic stratum. The ceramic stratum is removed from the underlying ceramic composite to produce a self-supporting ceramic composite having the surface established by the permeable stratum (18).
