Abstract
Abstract Method for forming a laminate and a product formed thereof. A thin layer of oil is applied to a facing surface of at least one a plurality of adjacent laminations. The laminations are passed between a pair of rollers which apply sufficient pressure to remove excess oil between the facing surfaces. The air between the facing surfaces is displaced and the remaining oil forms a seal to prevent reentry of the air. The laminate is tightly held together to permit handling or fabrication without delamination.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A metallic core comprising: at least one laminate, said laminate including at least two laminations having facing surfaces, said laminations having a thickness of less than about 0.5 mm, said laminations being in point contact with each other over the entire area of said facing surfaces, an oil between said facing surfaces wherein said oil has a viscosity at 24° C. of no more than about 80 cp, said oil completely filling the voids between said contact points over the entire area of said facing surfaces, said oil forming a seal to prevent reentry of air previously displaced from between said facing surfaces when said facing surfaces are brought into contact with one another, whereby the core is formed without delamination of said laminations of said laminate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
