A manufacturing method for laminated iron cores includes processing a metal sheet to form product sheets, in each of which iron core pieces are arranged inside an outer frame piece and the iron core pieces are connected to the outer frame piece in such a way that outer peripheral sides of the iron core pieces are connected to nearest parts of the outer frame piece through bridge pieces, laminating the product sheets and temporarily fixing the product sheets adjacent to each other in a vertical direction together to form a sheets laminated body including iron core pieces laminated parts and bridge pieces laminated parts, sealing the iron core pieces laminated parts by a resin while being pressurized to form pre-formed laminated iron cores, and separating the bridge pieces laminated parts from the pre-formed laminated iron cores to form the laminated iron cores which are individually separated.

Unique insulation articles including corrosion inhibitors and methods of producing the same are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an article of manufacture comprising an insulation mat comprising a cured combination of a plurality of randomly oriented fibers and a binder, the insulation mat extending between a first surface and a second surface, a veil attached to the first surface, the veil structured to inhibit physical movement of the cured combination through the veil, a metal sheet attached to the second surface by a water-containing adhesive contacting the metal sheet and the second surface, and a corrosion inhibitor composition deposited on the cured combination of the insulation mat, the corrosion inhibitor composition being effective to modify toward neutral a pH of the cured combination in contact with water from the water-containing adhesive.

This invention relates to a washable multi-component floor mat. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by at least one surface attraction means and at least one edge attachment means. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation.

A sheet-type aerosol generating article includes at least two aerosol generating sheets each having aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor The inductively heatable susceptor is positioned between the aerosol generating sheets and each of the aerosol generating sheets has an exposed surface. Methods for manufacturing sheet-type aerosol generating articles are also disclosed.

Fabrics made for apparel, tents, sleeping bags and the like, in various composites, constructed such that a combination of substrate layers and insulation layers is configured to provide improved thermal insulation. The fabric composites are constructed to form a radiant barrier against heat loss via radiation and via conduction from a body.

Provided is an article of cookware and a method of making the same. The cookware has at least one stainless steel layer and at least one copper layer metallurgically bonded directly to the at least one stainless steel layer via solid state bonding. The at least one stainless steel layer may be a ferritic stainless steel layer, and the at least one copper layer may be a grain stabilized copper. The at least one stainless steel layer may be made from a 400 series stainless steel, such as a 436 stainless steel alloy, a 439 stainless steel alloy, or a 444 stainless steel alloy. The at least one copper layer may be made from a high purity, oxygen free copper alloy, such as a C101 copper alloy, a C102 copper alloy, or a C107 copper alloy.

A clad material for a battery current collector includes a pinhole due to falling off of an intermetallic compound containing Al and Ni or an intermetallic compound containing Al and Fe from an outer surface of a first layer. A clad material for a battery current collector includes a clad material obtained by bonding a first layer made of Al or an Al alloy and a second layer made of any one of Ni, a Ni alloy, Fe, and a Fe alloy by rolling. The clad material has a thickness of 50 μm or less. In the clad material, an intermetallic compound layer constituted by an intermetallic compound containing Al and Ni or an intermetallic compound containing Al and Fe, the intermetallic compound layer having a thickness of 0.1 μm or more and 1 μm or less, is formed between the first layer and the second layer.

Embodiments herein relates to a Bisphenol A-free multi-layer biaxially oriented polyester (BOPET) film, for lamination on metal sheets, which could be used for food containers. The BOPET film has at least one outer release layer, which aids in the release of food, such as a high protein food source, when food is cooked and sterilized in direct contact with the outer release layer. The BOPET film can be laminated to metals used in the manufacture of food containers with the outer release layer being exposed to allow a direct food contact between the surface of the outer release layer and food. More particularly, the invention relates to a novel outer release layer resin composition comprising an ultra high molecular weight siloxane polymer and a polyethylene trephthalate resin; and an alkali-metal phosphate and a phosphoric acid compound added, during polymerization of the outer release layer resin composition, as a catalyst/additive package to the ingredients forming the outer release layer resin composition. A wax component is added in the outer release layer, for more robust release performance.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a method of fabricating a thermoplastic torque box assembly. The method includes providing a plurality of braided thermoplastic tubular spar caps, connecting one or more connector elements to one or more of the braided thermoplastic tubular spar caps, and laying up an inner thermoplastic facesheet in a continuous manner around the one or more braided thermoplastic tubular spar caps. The method further includes attaching a plurality of skin panel stabilization elements to the inner thermoplastic facesheet to define four torque box side portions, laying up and attaching an outer thermoplastic facesheet in a continuous manner around the plurality of skin panel stabilization elements, and heating at an effective temperature and an effective pressure the thermoplastic torque box assembly.

Provided is a thin glass-laminated printed steel sheet comprising: a printed steel sheet including a metal sheet and a printed layer on which a design or a pattern having a high resolution of 300 dpi or higher is printed on a surface of the metal sheet; an adhesive layer formed by curing an ultraviolet curable adhesive solution on the printed steel sheet, having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm, and being transparent; and a flexible thin glass attached by the adhesive layer, wherein a reference value for color density (D.sub.max Comparison) is higher than 1.6, as measured by a spectrophotometer.
