    摘要: Workpieces such as sand-casted automobile engine blocks are cleaned by advancing a series of such workpieces axially into one end of an elongate barrel that holds the workpieces and rotates or tumbles them in the path of impinging streams of particles. The workpieces are advanced from one end of the barrel to the other by oscillating the barrel along the longitudinal axis of the barrel. By this technique, workpieces can be advanced through the barrel without the need to push the workpieces against each other, or without the need to provide workpiece-engaging and advancing mechanisms.

    摘要: A furnace (10) for the sintering of refractory or ceramic materials using plasma heated gases. The furnace comprises a sintering chamber (12) with strategic positioning of the plasma torch inlets (14 and 14') and exhaust outlet (16), and means for controlling the furnace temperature during sintering so that the article being sintered does not decompose. Means for controlling the furnace temperature during sintering include: 1) Tangential injection of a secondary colder gas stream into the hot primary plasma gas stream; 2) Utilisation of a plasma torch or torches which can be temperature controlled to achieve stable and lower plasma gas temperatures; and 3) Introduction of a secondary cooler gas directly into the furnace sintering chamber.

    摘要: A process for the sintering of silicon carbide refractory or ceramic articles using plasma arc gases. In the process of the invention, a formed silicon carbide article is heated in a plasma fired furnace to a sintering temperature of between 2000°C - 2500°C at a heating rate of 300°C/hr - 2000°C/hr, and held at the sintering temperature for 0.1 - 2 hours. The enthalpy of the plasma gas is 2000 BTU/Ib - 4000 BTU/ib (4652 kJ/kg - 9304 kJ/kg), when nitrogen is used as the plasma gas. The total cycle time for the process, including cooling and loading, is 1.5 - 20 hours. Silicon carbide articles, produced in accordance with the invention, have high strength, high density, high corrosion resistance and high dimensional stability.

    摘要: A process for sintering or reaction sintering ceramic or refractory materials with hot plasma gases. The hot plasma gases are produced by injecting a combined primary plasma arc with a secondary gas stream directly into a reaction furnace. The secondary gas stream is tangentially injected into the primary plasma arc gas stream to mix the gases for the required sintering temperature at the highest energy efficiency. The plasma torches are positioned in the furnace ports so that the plasma gas flow is perpendicular to the furnace process gas flow. This process is inexpensive and efficient and results in a superior quality sintered product. It may be adapted to continuous or periodic kilns to achieve a high furnace productivity.
