In order to achieve damage-tolerant properties and sufficient isotropy of aluminum alloys, particularly of type AlLi 8090, subsequent especially to hot-forming of a bar of said aluminum alloy there is interposed a solution heat treatment and quenching, followed by working and subsequent intermediate annealing within a temperature range of from 250.degree. to 475.degree. C. for a period of from 1 to 85 hours. The intermediate annealing is followed by cold forming and subsequent solution heat treatment with the additional purpose of recrystallization, whereupon the recrystallized material is especially cold-formed to a degree of deformation of only up to 8%. Thereafter the sheets having a sheet thickness of from 0.5 to 10 mm are subjected to artificial aging.

Process for the manufacture of aluminum sheets

Method of producing microsensors with integrated signal processing

A method of producing thin sheets that are stretched over a frame and have planar and smooth surfaces with a low density of defects, and to the use of such sheets for the production of X-ray masks, wherein the sheet material is applied to a substrate through the intermediary of a release layer, whereupon the sheet is connected with the frame and separated from the substrate. During application of the release layer to the substrate, an area along the entire edge of the substrate is left free of the release layer material but is convered by the subsequently applied sheet material. Thereafter the sheet is connected with the frame in a region overlying the release layer and is severed around the periphery of the frame. Finally, the sheet and frame are released from the substrate and any release layer material remaining on the sheet is removed. The resulting sheet and frame arrangement may then be used to form an X-ray mask by applying desired X-ray absorber structures to the surface of the sheet. Alternatively the X-ray absorber structures may be formed on the surface of the sheet prior to attachment of the frame.

Method of producing thin sheets and use of such sheets for the

A method of producing a plate-shaped bearing member for sliding bearings, the structure being composed of a patterned body of supporting bearing material and a lubricant, utilizing a galvanoplastic fabrication step, the method including: producing a mold provided with a pattern of recesses, the step of producing including performing an X-ray deep-etch lithography procedure; filling the recesses to form the body of bearing material; removing the mold from the body of bearing material so that spaces are left in the bearing material; and filling the thus produced spaces with the lubricant.
