Title: The Innovative Contributions of Christopher DellaCorte

Introduction

Christopher DellaCorte is a notable inventor based in Medina, OH (US), recognized for his significant contributions to the field of materials science. With a total of 12 patents to his name, DellaCorte has made remarkable advancements, particularly in the development of nickel-titanium metal alloy components.

Latest Patents

One of DellaCorte's latest patents is a method for making small diameter nickel-titanium metal alloy balls. This innovative process involves providing a metal powder that includes nickel, titanium, and a transition metal. The metal powder is consolidated into cylindrical rods, which are then cut into segments. These segments are machined into spheres that are slightly larger than the desired finished ball size. The spheres undergo heat treatment to solutionize and dissolve all phases, followed by a cooling process that does not require rapid quenching. This is due to the transition metal's ability to suppress the formation of soft phases, which can hinder hardening. The final product achieves a Rockwell hardness of HRC 58-62. The hardened spheres are then polished to achieve the desired finished ball size and surface finish.

Career Highlights

DellaCorte has had a distinguished career, working with prominent organizations such as the United States of America as represented by the Administrator of NASA and The Abbott Ball Company. His work has significantly impacted the manufacturing and application of nickel-titanium alloys.

Collaborations

Throughout his career, DellaCorte has collaborated with esteemed colleagues, including Malcolm K. Stanford and Glenn N. Glennon. These partnerships have fostered innovation and contributed to the advancement of materials technology.

Conclusion

Christopher DellaCorte's innovative work in the field of nickel-titanium metal alloys showcases his expertise and dedication to advancing materials science. His contributions continue to influence the industry and inspire future innovations.
