Latest Patents
Heetfield holds a patent for a Nickel base alloy glass shaping member. This alloy has a specific composition that includes Chromium (13-15%), Silicon (3.4-4.2%), Boron (1.7-2.3%), and the balance being Nickel. The alloy is cast in a mold made by the lost wax process from CaCO3. The casting process involves heating the mold to 2300°F, holding it in a furnace at 1750°F for an hour, and then rapidly cooling it to room temperature. The resulting casting has a low hardness of R.c 30±3, allowing for machining. After machining, the casting is heated to 1150°F for at least three hours before cooling, which hardens it to R.c 45 to R.c 50.
