The present disclosure relates to a process of machining a metal middle frame, which includes the following steps of: obtaining a sheet material and cutting the sheet material into a linear profile; performing a finish machining to the linear profile; bending the linear profile after the finish machining, obtaining a metal border frame with an R angle; welding the metal border frame; and placing the metal border frame after the welding in a die-casting mold, providing a die-casting metal liquid, thereby obtaining a die-cast middle plate connected to the metal border frame, so as to form the metal middle frame.

Examples of an alloy injection molded liquid metal substrate are described. In an example, an alloy injection molded liquid metal substrate includes a liquid metal substrate and an alloy injection molded on a first surface of the liquid metal substrate.

A continuous-flow heater is described, with a housing made from an aluminium-based alloy, in which a flow channel for a fluid to be heated extends from an inlet to an outlet, and a heating plate which is arranged in the housing, with a substrate made from steel, which carries heating conductor tracks, a frame embedded in a wall of the housing, wherein the heating plate forms one wall of the flow channel in the housing, and is welded to the frame.

A cooking utensil is described which provides a cast iron cooking surface, the reverse of which is metallurgically bonded to another member having higher thermal conductivity than cast iron. In some embodiments, the cast iron layer is bonded to a copper core, which is bonded to a stainless steel base. Two methods for producing such articles are also described.

Preform and manufacturing process producing heterogeneous components with a first fraction (11) made from a first metallic material and having a cellular structure with stochastic or regular cells, and a second fraction (12) made from a second metallic material different from the first metallic material, in which the second fraction (12) at least partly infiltrates the cells of the first fraction (11). The second fraction is poured into the preform which also acts as a mould. The finished product after machining may have a unified surface of the second fraction or several zones exposing the second fraction, the first fraction, the cellular structure which is open or infiltrated with the second metallic fraction, or open zones, in a predetermined design.
