Patent GB-1004273-A (GB)
Title: Process for the production of dispersion strengthened lead
IPC: C22C32/00
Filed: 1963-04-19
Abstract: Dispersion strengthened lead is produced by plastically deforming, preferably extruding, oxide-coated lead particles, such as formed by mixing lead particles, preferably not greater than 150 microns in diameter, with water, e.g. from 0.25-2% by weight while exposing to a free oxygen containing gas, e.g. air not above 100  DEG C., to break up the lead oxide coatings and distribute the resultant oxide fragments throughout the lead matrix.  The oxide coating of the lead particles may constitute 1.4-30.8% (calculated as Pb2O) of the particles.  The oxide coated lead particles may be deformed also by die stamping or roll compacting, producing lead finished products such as tubes, pipes, strip or sheet, or an intermediate billet which can be worked. Prior processes of strengthening lead are disclosed wherein dispersoids such as oxides of Al, Pb, Mg or Ca, or Ni are added prior to compacting.ALSO:Oxide coated lead particles for producing dispersion strengthened lead by plastic deformation are formed by mixing lead particles, preferably not greater than 150 microns in diameter with water while exposing to a free oxygen containing gas, e.g. air, so that the oxide coating of the lead particles constitutes 1.4 to 30.8% (calculated as Pb2O) of the particles.

The preferred coupling means is a constant length wire which couples the third carrier to a reference position on the first guide path on the side of the first carrier remote from the specimen position the wire passing round a pulley on the first carrier, the arrangement being such that, in operation, the detector is pivoted on its mount so as to be directed towards the crystal, the distance between the crystal and specimen always being equal to that between the crystal and the detector. In the most preferred embodiment (Fig. 2) the wire is attached at its ends to a fixture 17a on the support plate at the crystal position passing round pulley 9 at the fixed reference position, round pulley 20 at the detector and pulley 17 on the first carrier. The crystal mount may be fixed to a pivot 14 on the support plate at which pivot the pivotal mounting to the first carrier is effected the pulley 17 on the first carrier rotating round said pivot, the arrangement being such that the crystal is turned so as to be always substantially tangential to the focal circle. The third carrier 18 may be biased away from the first carrier by a spring 27 attached at one end to the base 5 and attached at the other to a wire 28 which passes round a first wheel 29 mounted on the base 5, round a second wheel 30 mounted on the support plate 12, round a third wheel also mounted on 12 and then to the third carrier 18 to which its end is fixed.
