Systems and methods for oxide-based doping of an evaporable getter are described herein. In certain embodiments, a method includes mixing a first getter material with a second getter material to create a mixed getter material. The method also includes mixing an oxide dopant with the mixed getter material to create a doped getter material. Further, the method includes sealing the doped getter material within a device. Moreover, the method includes applying heat to the doped getter material to cause the doped getter material to emit a doped gas for deposition on internal surfaces of the device.

A method for preparing a nano spherical oxide dispersion strengthening phase using a micron oxide is proposed for the first time. First, a micron oxide is used as a raw material to prepare a nano oxide with a completely amorphous structure/matrix alloy composite powder by mechanical ball milling in stages. In the first stage, ball milling is performed, causing the oxide to break and transform in structure, and achieving nano-sizing and completely amorphization, to prepare a composite powder with a completely amorphous structure nano oxide uniformly distributed in the matrix alloy powder; and in the second stage, the composite powder obtained in the first stage and the remaining matrix alloy powder are uniformly mixed by ball milling. Then, the uniformly mixed powder is sequentially subjected to hot forming, hot rolling, and heat treatment, to obtain a nano spherical oxide dispersion strengthened alloy.

A process for producing a magnetron sputtering target includes: mixing and dispersing an oxide powder and a magnetic metal powder, the magnetic metal powder containing a ferromagnetic metal element, to obtain a magnetic powder mixture; mixing and dispersing an oxide powder and each of a plurality of non-magnetic metal powders, the plurality of non-magnetic metal powders containing the ferromagnetic metal element, the plurality of non-magnetic metal powders containing a different constituent element from each other or containing constituent elements at different ratios from each other, to obtain a plurality of non-magnetic powder mixtures; and mixing and dispersing the magnetic powder mixture and the plurality of non-magnetic powder mixtures to obtain a powder mixture for pressure sintering.

One aspect generally relates to a composite, having a layer sequence. The layer sequence includes as layers a first layer, including a first ceramic, and first layer surface, a second layer, including a second ceramic, superimposing the first layer surface. The layer sequence includes a hole, connecting through each layer of the layer sequence; and a cermet. The cermet includes a first part and a second part. The first part is included by the hole. The second part is included between the first layer and the second layer. The cermet is in one piece.

A method of making a machine component includes extruding a supply of an aluminum alloy to produce an extrusion. The extrusion is formed under temperature-limited forming conditions of 275 C. or less to produce a blank. The blank is machined to at least one predetermined tolerance to produce the machine component.

A metal matrix composite to high tolerate wear as a property has been produced by infiltration casting of a Fe Alloy and a spinel ceramic by using a material design for i) metal transport phenomena conditions, ii) predefined wetting and capillarity and iii) processing child insert/mother casting methodology to produce a final casting in shape and form to meet the needs of a mining end user.

A system is disclosed for performing an Additive Manufacturing (AM) fabrication process on a powdered material forming a substrate. The system may make use of a diode array for generating an optical signal sufficient to melt a powdered material of the substrate. A mask may be used for preventing a first predetermined portion of the optical signal from reaching the substrate, while allowing a second predetermined portion to reach the substrate. At least one processor may be used for controlling an output of the diode array.

High temperature rolling element bearings and methods for manufacturing high temperature bearing components, such as bearing races or rings, are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes obtaining a powder mixture containing a superalloy powder admixed with hard wear particles, such as carbide particles. The powder mixture is consolidated utilizing a spark plasma sintering process during which the powder mixture is compressed into a sintered blank, while an electrical current is conducted through the powder mixture to heat the powder mixture to a sintering temperature. The sintered blank is then machined to impart the bearing component with its final shape. Precipitate hardening may also be performed, if desired. The spark plasma sintering process is controlled to limit the temperature and duration of the powder consolidation process thereby imparting the resulting bearing component with an enhanced hot hardness and other desirable properties at highly elevated operating temperatures.
