20160113073 | Re-Melting Furnace and Universal Joint, in Particular for the Electrode Rod Mounting of a Re-Melting Furnace - A universal joint suspension system for a re-melting furnace is disclosed. The system is used to hold the electrode rod mounting including the consumable electrode cardanically in relation to the furnace body, thus allowing the mounting to be tipped in any direction. The fundamental concept of the system is that weighing cells are arranged in the bearings of one shaft of the universal joint bearing, the weighing cells determining the weight of the mounting and the parts suspended therein, such that the weight of the consumable electrode can be continuously derived from the determination process. | 04-21-2016 |
20150380118 | MELTING DEVICE FOR CONSOLIDATING CONTAMINATED SCRAP - A mobile melting device for consolidating contaminated scrap and to a corresponding method. The melting device has a crucible chamber and a crucible base. The crucible is arranged on the crucible base during operation, and the crucible base and the crucible chamber together form a gas-tight furnace housing. It is thus possible to carry out the method in a vacuum or under protective gas such that even a reactive material can be consolidated. The melting device can be assembled and disassembled with little effort. | 12-31-2015 |
20130209706 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COATING SUBSTRATES USING THE EB/PVD PROCESS - An apparatus for coating substrates with a coating material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame and a crucible arrangement including a first crucible and a second crucible disposed on the frame. Only one first shaft is associated with the first crucible and only one second shaft is associated with the second crucible, where the only one first and second shafts are disposed in the frame beneath the first and second crucibles, respectively. Only one first lifting device is associated with the only one first shaft and only one second lifting device is associated with the only one second shaft, where the only one first and second lifting devices are disposed in the frame. The only one first and second shafts and the only one first and second lifting devices are laterally displaceable with the frame. | 08-15-2013 |
20130032092 | APPARATUS FOR COATING SUBSTRATES USING THE EB/PVD METHOD - An apparatus for coating substrates with a coating material is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame, a crucible arrangement including a first crucible and a second crucible disposed offset from one another in a horizontal plane, where the crucible arrangement is disposed on the frame. At least one first shaft is associated with the first crucible and at least one second shaft is associated with the second crucible, where the at least one first and second shafts are disposed in the frame beneath the first and second crucibles, respectively. A first lifting device is associated with the at least one first shaft and a second lifting device is associated with the at least one second shaft, where the first and second lifting devices are disposed in the frame. The frame is linearly displaceable in the horizontal plane. | 02-07-2013 |
20130012374 | PACKAGE FOR THE STORAGE OF WASTE - A package for storing radioactive waste, which is suitable for safe, ultra-long ultimate disposal having a moisture-impermeable, corrosion-resistant graphite matrix and metal-encased waste products, which are embedded into the matrix. A method for producing such packages is also part of the invention. | 01-10-2013 |
20120168033 | Method and Device for Hardening Work Pieces and Workpieces Hardened According to Said Method - The invention relates to a method and device for thermally treating workpieces, the device including a cooling chamber and two or more cementing chambers in which the workpieces are heated to a temperature of 950 to 1200° C. by means of direct heat radiation from a heating device. | 07-05-2012 |
20100294995 | REFLECTOR GRAPHITE CONSISTING OF ISOTROPIC HIGHLY CRYSTALLINE NATURAL GRAPHITE AS THE MAIN COMPONENT AND SILICON OR ZIRCONIUM CARBIDE, AND PRODUCTION THEREOF - Disclosed is reflector graphic which is characterized in that the main component of the graphite is nuclear-purity natural graphite in addition to silicon carbide and/or zirconium carbide, the pressed pieces are shaped by a combined cold-hot pressing process, and the thermal treatment of the pressed pieces is limited to temperatures of less than 2000° C. | 11-25-2010 |
20100167905 | MATRIX MATERIAL COMPRISING GRAPHITE AND AN INORGANIC BINDER SUITED FOR FINAL DISPOSAL OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE, A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND ITS PROCESSING AND USE - A matrix material for safe temporary and/or ultimate disposal of radioactive wastes suitable for the embedment of radioactive wastes, contains graphite and at least inorganic binder which can be glass, aluminosilicate, silicate, borate and lead sulfide. | 07-01-2010 |
20100014625 | SPHERICAL FUEL ELEMENT AND PRODUCTION THEREOF FOR GAS-COOLED HIGH TEMPERATURE PEBBLE BED NUCLEAR REACTORS (HTR) - The invention relates to a novel design and production of fuel element pebbles which satisfy the requirements of high temperature pebble bed nuclear reactors of the next generation. The invention uses a shell of the fuel element pebbles that is devoid of fuel and consists of silicon carbide (SiC) and/or zircon carbide (ZrC), in addition to natural graphite and graphitized petroleum coke, said shell having a maximum average nominal thickness of 5 mm and preferably only 3 mm. | 01-21-2010 |
