A method for repairing an open shrinkage crack in a concrete slab employs expansive mortar. A saw cut is created next to the shrinkage crack, and then expansive mortar is applied into the open saw cut. The expansive mortar material gradually expands and urges the saw cut apart. This shifts the portion of the slab between the saw cut and the slab in the direction to close the shrinkage crack tightly. The expanded mortar material is removed from the saw cut and a rigid spacer is installed in the saw cut. An adhesive can be installed between the two sides of the crack. The surface of the repaired slab can be given cosmetic repairs, and let dry before applying a sealer. |

The present invention provides an Al2O3 coated Si3N4 cutting tool comprising a Si3N4 based substrate body and a coating layer on the substrate body, wherein the coating layer has at least one Al2O3 coating layer consisting of amorphous Al2O3 or nanocrystalline α-, γ-, or κ-Al2O3. The hard and wear resistant refractory coating is deposited onto the Si3N4-based substrate body by reactive sputtering using bipolar pulsed DMS technique or dual magnetron sputtering method at substrate temperatures of 300-700° C. During the deposition, preferably, the substrate temperature is controlled to achieve the desired crystal structure of the coating. To form amorphous Al2O3 coating on the surface of the substrates, the deposition temperature can be controlled from 300 to 500° C.; on the other hand, to form nanocrystalline α-, γ-, or κ-Al2O3, the deposition temperature can be controlled in the range of 500-700° C. The coated cutting tools of the present invention are suitable for high-speed machining of metals by turning, milling, drilling or by other similar chip-forming machining methods. |

A method of forming a concrete wall having a substantially uniform exterior surface texture. The method includes the initial step of pouring concrete into a wall form. The concrete is poured from a first mixture and is allowed to cure. After the concrete is cured, the wall form is removed from the resultant concrete base structure. A roughened texture is then created on the base structure. A finishing mixture is then applied to the roughened texture. The finishing mixture may be created by separating the aggregate from a portion of the remaining first mixture. The finishing mixture creates a smooth texture on the exterior surfaces of the initially formed base structure. |

An improved surface seeded exposed particulate concrete and method of making the improved surface seeded exposed particulate concrete is disclosed. Small particulate is sprayed over the upper surface of the concrete. The particulate may be sprayed using a material sprayer. The particulate may be uniformly sprayed to distances exceeding twenty feet. The particulate is mixed into a cement paste derived from the concrete mixture using floats. A surface retarder is then applied to cover the concrete surface. Subsequently, any surface film is washed from the surface of the concrete and the concrete is cured. The result is a surface seeded particulate with an exposed surface that is flat and is suitable for high traffic areas. The resultant surface may resemble stone, granite or marble. |

An endoprosthesis component is formed from a ceramic material and in which the ceramic material is partially coated with a titanium alloy. An uncoated surface portion of the endoprosthesis component is designed to interact as slide surface with another endoprosthesis component. A coated surface portion of the endoprosthesis component is designed to establish a connection to a bone. The part of the ceramic material forming an interface to the coating has a roughness Ra of between 2.5 μM and 7 μM, creating a firm connection between the coating and the ceramic material. The invention further relates to a method for producing such an endoprosthesis component. To achieve the desired roughness of the surface, the ceramic component is presintered at a temperature of between 880° C. and 980° C. and is then treated with a blasting material. |
