An article of manufacture comprises a ferritic stainless steel that includes a near-surface region depleted of silicon relative to a remainder of the ferritic stainless steel. The article has a reduced tendency to form an electrically resistive silica layer including silicon derived from the steel when the article is subjected to high temperature oxidizing conditions. The ferritic stainless steel is selected from the group comprising AISI Type 430 stainless steel, AISI Type 439 stainless steel, AISI Type 441 stainless steel, AISI Type 444 stainless steel, and E-BRITE® alloy, also known as UNS 44627 stainless steel. In certain embodiments, the article of manufacture is a fuel cell interconnect for a solid oxide fuel cell.

In a finish heat treatment method and finish heat treatment apparatus for an iron powder, a raw iron powder is placed on a continuous moving hearth and continuously charged into the apparatus. In the pretreatment zone, the raw iron powder is subjected to a pretreatment of heating the raw iron powder in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas and/or inert gas at 450 to 1100° C. In decarburization, deoxidation, and denitrification zones, the pretreated iron powder is subsequently subjected to at least two treatments of decarburization, deoxidation, and denitrification. In the pretreatment zone, a hydrogen gas and/or an inert gas serving as a pretreatment ambient gas is introduced separately from an ambient gas used in the at least two treatments is introduced from the upstream side of the pretreatment zone and released from the downstream side so as to flow in the same direction as a moving direction of the moving hearth.
摘要:
A method of performing thermal working to metal material containing helium, which comprises the steps of previously feeding current through a thermally working portion of the metal material containing helium to thereby reduce a helium content in the portion without melting the portion and then heating and melting the portion to improve the defects of the metal structure of the metal material containing helium. As a result, the improvement and removal of defects of the metal structure can be achieved by reducing a helium content in the thermally working portion of the metal material.

摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the removal of oxides and/or oxygen which are formed on the surface of the casting during the investment casting process to levels that are comparable to those found within the bulk of the metal casting thus reducing the inherent hardness of the surfaces of the casting. More specifically, the invention relates to a process for removing oxide layers from titanium casting using an alkaline earth deoxidizing agent.

A blade member for cutting-tools includes a cermet substrate which contains, apart from unavoidable impurities, a binder phase and a hard dispersed phase. The binder phase contains 5% to 30% by weight of cobalt and/or nickel. The hard dispersed phase contains a balance composite carbonitride of titanium and one or more of the elements tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, hafnium and zirconium. The composite carbo-nitride satisfies the relationship 0.2.ltoreq.b/(a+b).ltoreq.0.7, where a and b denote atomic ratios of carbon and nitrogen, respectively. The substrate includes a hard surface layer in which the maximum hardness is present at a depth between 5 .mu.m and 50 .mu.m from a substrate surface thereof. The substrate surface has a hardness of 20% to 90% of the maximum hardness.
