Abstract:

Zirconia-containing ceramic compositions having a c/a ratio of the zirconia lattice in the range of from about 1. 005 to about 1. 016. These compositions comprise a stabilizing amount up to about 10 mole % of the composition of a stabilizer component which comprises: (1) a first metal oxide selected from the group consisting of yttria, calcia, ceria, scandia, magnesia, india and mixtures thereof in an amount of from about 1. 5 to about 6 mole % of the composition of; (2) a second metal oxide selected from the group consisting of lanthana, neodymia and mixtures thereof in an amount of from about 0. 5 to about 4 mole % of the composition; and (3) optionally ytterbia in an amount of from about 0. 5 to about 4 mole % of the composition. These compositions further comprise hafnia in an amount of from about 0.

Abstract:

A thermal barrier coating (TBC ) and method for forming the TBC () on a component () characterized by a stabilized microstructure that resists grain growth, sintering and pore coarsening or coalescence during high temperature excursions. The TBC () contains elemental carbon and/or a carbon-containing gas that increase the amount of porosity () initially within the TBC () and form additional fine closed porosity () within the TBC () during subsequent exposures to high temperatures. A first method involves incorporating elemental carbon precipitates by evaporation into the TBC microstructure. A second method is to directly incorporate an insoluble gas, such as a carbon-containing gas, into an as-deposited TBC () and then partially sinter the TBC () to entrap the gas and produce fine stable porosity within the TBC ().

International Classification:

H01H 47/00

US Classification:

361144, 361143, 361152

Abstract:

A magnet controller supplied by an AC source controls a lifting magnet. Two bridges allow DC current to flow in both directions in the lifting magnet. During “Lift”, relatively high voltage is applied to the lifting magnet until it reaches its cold current. Then voltage is lowered. After a desired interval, once the magnet has had time to build its electromagnetic field, voltage is further reduced to prevent the magnet from overheating. The magnet lifting forced is maintained due to the magnetic circuit hysteresis. During “Drop”, reverse voltage is applied briefly to demagnetize the lifting magnet. At the end of the “Lift” and the “Drop”, most of the lifting magnet energy is returned to the line source. A logic controller controls current and voltage of the magnet and calculates the magnet's temperature. In one embodiment, a “Sweep” switch is provided to allow reduction of the magnet power to prevent attraction to the bottom or walls of magnetic rail cars or containers.
