An apparatus and method are provided for making diamonds. In one form, a plurality of shock waves are generated and are directed or focused against carbon particles retained in a cavity of a die such that the heat and pressure of the shock waves will heat and compress the particles of carbon to form one or more diamonds thereof. In another form, diamonds or particles of diamond dust are disposed in a cavity containing carbon particles and serve as substrates or nuclei on which carbon is converted to diamond forming larger diamonds thereof. Each of the diamonds disposed in the mold or die cavity is completely surrounded by carbon. A magnetic jack hammer of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,632,242 having a focusing horn attached thereto is employed to generate and transmit the trains of intermittent shock waves to the diamonds and carbon disposed in the mold. In another form, intense heat and pressure are generated by one or more laser beams which are directed at carbon particles per se or against diamond particles which are packed with carbon particles in a mold so as to form diamonds and/or increase the sizes of the diamonds disposed in the mold cavity with the carbon particles. |

An apparatus and method for reacting on matter with shock waves which are directed through or against said matter. In a preferred form, the shock waves are generated intermittently for an extended period of time, during which time the work is subjected to the high temperatures and pressures of the shock waves. Both chemical and physical changes may be effected in the material reacted on by the shock waves.Where a plurality of shock waves are directed against the same matter to progressively change same, the apparatus includes means for amplifying the shock waves to increase the intensity of the individual waves and enhance or improve the reactive effects.Both chemical and physical changes in matter are effected by means of the shock waves which may be generated intermittently by one or more means including the discharge of intense sparks in a fluid medium which comprises or is disposed coupled to the material to be worked by the shock waves, the direction of intense pulses of laser light or electron beam energy into the fluid or solid medium to be worked or coupled thereto and, in certain instances, the intermittent compression of a fluid by means of a piston or other device.The matter to be reacted on may be disposed within the column or chamber in which the shock waves are generated or in direct alignment with the end of such a column or chamber.In a particular form of the invention, a plurality of shock waves are simultaneously generated and directed against matter which is compressed by the shock waves as they advance toward each other. |

John R. Nieman |
A flash control molding is provided for use in association with a pattern for forming a casting cavity in a metal casting mold. The flash control molding includes an elongated strip of pliable material having a predetermined cross sectional configuration to define a thick portion for forming a flash control chamber in the mold, and a thin edge along one side of the thick portion to form a restricted opening between the flash control chamber and the casting cavity so that a casting subsequently produced in the mold is formed with controlled shaped flash which has a built-in fracture line immediately adjacent the casting proper, thereby making the flash easily and cleanly removable from the casting. |

An elongated movable water cooled mold of any desired cross section has an open bottom end which is lowered into a pot of molten metal a predetermined distance with the metal being pulled into the mold under vacuum operated by suitable controls for establishing the desired length of the casting or billet. Water is supplied to the mold while still in the pot to permit the casting to harden and the mold is then removed therefrom and moved to a position close to floor level where termination of the water supply allows the contained heat in the casting to reheat the mold and expand it sufficiently so that the casting can drop free of the mold upon release of the vacuum. |

After a combustion chamber is filled with a combustion mixture of gases, channels extending upward from the valves for admitting the gas components of the mixture to a gas inlet bore are flooded with a quantity of water injected through an additional valve by a hydraulically driven piston. After the hydraulic pressure behind the piston is turned off, the water chamber in front of the piston is refilled by the inflow of water at water line pressure, which is not sufficiently high enough in pressure to reopen the water outlet valve until the piston is again driven. |

TEAGUE G |
A ball sprue swage device for use in combination with a flat substantially rigid surface and comprising a cylindrical shaped body having a flat face portion, a sleeve member carried by the said body and extending around the outer periphery of the said body to form a wall around the outer periphery of the flat surface, the depth of said wall being substantially equal to the diameter of the ball to be swaged. A separate ball retainer ring having a thickness less than the depth of the said wall, and having an outer diameter less than the inner diameter of the sleeve member is provided whereby the balls having sprues thereon are placed within the retaining ring on the rigid surface, the body and sleeve member being placed over the retaining ring and balls and the body and sleeve member being then moved in a revolving circular motion thereby causing the balls to be rounded and the sprues thereon to be removed.

Following die casting of an aluminum alloy cylinder block with an insert liner having openings extending through the liner and block to the outside, the flash across the opening is removed by employing a mandrel in the liner with a passage through the mandrel registering with the liner opening, and inserting a male punch through the opening from the outside to shear the flash around the edge of the opening and break it loose after which it falls out through the passage in the mandrel upon removal of the punch and mandrel.
