Date(s): 1945
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)

Title: Using cold rivets
Date(s): 1945
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Aluminum alloy rivets in the little cellophane envelope at the left will remain cold and therefore are drivable for an hour or an hour and a half, because of the insulating property of the cellophane, instead of only a half hour, as was the case when they were left in open pans. This saves the woman riveter steps- she doesn't have to go to the refrigerator for a new supply so often. And she doesn't drop or return so many.

Wolffe consulted with aircraft engineers to learn their requirements and made composite materials to meet the industry's specifications.

Show moreBob Wolffe details his contribution to Kevlar, which primarily involved working with the aircraft industry to develop markets for Kevlar fibers in weight-saving composite materials. Wolffe consulted with aircraft engineers to learn their requirements and made composite materials to meet the industry's specifications. The first applications were for interior, non-structural uses where failure would not jeopardize the safe operation of the aircraft. Over time, DuPont developed significant domestic and international markets for Kelvar composites in aircraft. Wolffe notes, though, that the most important application was in ballistics.

Wolffe recounts DuPont's efforts during the 1980s to produce its own fabricated composite parts in an effort to move away from being primarily a supplier of Kevlar fabric. Wolffe attributes the failure of this venture to the company underestimating the importance of design and testing of aircraft parts.
