Inorganic Metal-Containing Shaped Body in a Specific Form Previously Imaged in a Paper Structure and Method for Its Production

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention relates to an inorganic, metal-containing body (shaped article) that replicates a previously existing paper structure. It is produced using a sintered material consisting of a metal component (primarily iron-containing with transformation-induced plasticity effects) and optionally a ceramic component. The patent also includes a method for manufacturing such metal-based materials in forms that initially existed as paper templates.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Manufacturing complex metal or metal-ceramic components for industrial machinery using flexible paper models as prototypes.
• Production of lightweight and high-strength parts for the automotive or aerospace industries by leveraging the transformation-induced plasticity effect.
• Creating custom-shaped biomedical implants or prosthetics based on patient-specific paper templates.
• Producing artistic or architectural metal forms that are first designed as paper structures.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Allows precise reproduction of complex shapes originally made in paper into durable metal-ceramic forms.
• Utilizes transformation-induced plasticity to offer improved mechanical properties such as enhanced strength and ductility.
• Provides design flexibility, enabling rapid prototyping and customization based on simple paper models.
• Combines the advantages of metals (e.g., strength, conductivity) with ceramics (e.g., heat resistance, hardness) where desired.

Patent Abstract

The inorganic metal-containing material comprises sintered material containing 5-100 vol.% of a metal component and 0-95 vol.% of a ceramic component. The inorganic metal-containing material is present in the form of a paper structure. The metallic component is an iron-containing material with additional alloying elements, and has a transformation-induced plasticity effect. An independent claim is included for a method for preparing inorganic metal-containing material.
