Title: Regan D. Wieland: Inventor in Metal-Alloy Injection Molding.
Introduction
Regan D. Wieland is an inventor associated with Auburn, Michigan. His work includes an invention for injection molding metal alloys, a process designed to shape alloy materials while they are in a semi-solid state.
Latest Patents
Wieland is credited with 1 patent: “Method and Apparatus for the Injection Molding of Metal Alloys.” The invention maintains an alloy in a thixotropic, semi-solid state inside a reciprocating extruder, at a temperature above its solidus and below its liquidus. Shearing helps prepare the alloy as a slurry, which is then injected into a mold to form a product. After the injection stroke, a portion of the alloy residue in the nozzle solidifies to seal it.
Career Highlights
Wieland is associated with The Dow Chemical Company. His patent describes an approach to controlling the alloy’s state during injection and sealing the nozzle after molding.
Collaborations
His listed coworkers include Norbert L. Bradley and William J. Schafer.
Conclusion
Regan D. Wieland’s recorded patent focuses on a semi-solid metal-alloy molding method that combines controlled shearing, injection, and nozzle sealing.
