Abstract

An apparatus and method for manufacturing plastic containers having RFID tags embedded therein is disclosed. The bottles are manufactured using a blow-molding technique wherein an in-mold film having an RFID tag embedded therein is positioned or placed against the parison immediately prior to the blow mold being closed and the pressurized air being used to inflate the parison. The resulting container thus has an RFID tag fused thereto to allow for tracking and tracing of the container after manufacture, as well as providing a mechanism by which the authenticity of the bottle can be verified.

Abstract

A method is described for priming an in-line molten metal filtration unit having a porous ceramic or refractory filter mounted substantially horizontally in a filter box. This filter box has an inlet for molten metal and an outlet for molten metal, the outlet being a closeable outlet in an exit well connecting to the downstream side of the filter. The method of the invention comprises the steps of adding a molten metal to the filter box sufficient to entirely cover the upstream side of the filter with a depth of molten metal and temporarily sealing the outlet in the exit well. A steadily increasing vacuum is then applied to the closed exit well at a rate between 0.1 and 10 kPa per second by withdrawing a stream of air from the exit well by means of a fan or air venturi until molten metal begins to flow through the filter. At that point the vacuum is quickly released and the molten metal outlet is opened. Once the filter has been primed in this manner, flow of metal through the filter continues while requiring only a relatively low head of molten metal on the inlet side of the filter.

Abstract

A shaped metal casting made in an aggregate mold comprises fine solidification microstructure that is finer than the solidification microstructure of an analogous metal casting made from conventional molding processes. The solidification microstructure may be up to five times finer than the solidification microstructure of a conventionally prepared casting. In preferred embodiments, as a result of directional solidification, the fine solidification microstructure is substantially continuous from a distal end of the casting to a proximal end of the casting, and exhibits greatly enhanced soundness. Because of the control of the uniformity of freezing of the casting, its properties are substantially uniform.

Abstract

A cast composite material is prepared by furnishing an aluminum-based matrix alloy and forming a mixture of free-flowing boron carbide particles and the aluminum-based matrix alloy in molten form which is stirred to wet the matrix alloy to the boron carbide particles and to distribute the particles throughout the volume of the melt. The molten mixture is then cast. The fluidity of the molten mixture is maintained by (a) maintaining the magnesium content of the matrix metal below about 0.2% by weight, or (b) starting with a matrix metal containing less than 0.2% by weight magnesium and adding further magnesium to the mixture a short time before casting, or (c) having at least 0.2% by weight titanium present in the mixture.

Abstract

A method is described for reclaiming an Al-B4C composite scrap material. The method involves heating a liquid pool of molten aluminum while also pre- heating the scrap material. The scrap material is then added to the molten aluminum and a predetermined melt temperature is maintained in the liquid pool until all of the scrap material melts into the molten aluminum to form a resultant composite melt. Finally, the resultant composite melt is stirred to promote uniformity. A method is also described for preparing a B4C-containing aluminum cast composite products that involves preparing a mixture of free- flowing B4C particles and molten aluminum and stirring the mixture to wet the aluminum to the B4C particles. The mixture is then cast into a cast composite material and processed to form the cast composite product and Al-B4C composite scrap material. The scrap material is then reclaimed by the method described above.

Abstract

A B S T R A C T Ti and V impurities are removed from molten aluminium by adding a boron-bearing substance and agitating the aluminium in the presence of a dispersed chloride and/or fluoride flux active for fluxing (Ti,V)B2 particles. It is preferred to perform the process by stirring the molten aluminium to generate a vortex, into which aluminium fluoride is introduced as a fluxing agent and for reaction with any alkali metal impurity present in the molten metal. The alkali metal fluoaluminate thus generated assists the fluxing of the (Ti,V)B2, as does any cell electrolyte present in the molten aluminium.
