Abstract:
The invention relates to a martensitic stainless steel for plastic forming moulds requiring a high hardness and a good corrosion resistance. The stainless steel consists of in weight % (wt. %): C 0.56-0.82, N 0.08-0.25, C+N 0.60-1.0, Si 1.05-2.0, Mn 0.2-1.0, Cr 12-16, Mo 0.1-0.8, V 0.10-0.45, Al≦0.3, P≦0.05, S≦0.5, optional elements, and balance Fe impurities.
Abstract:

Abstract:
In a process for refining stainless steel where oxygen and ammonia are introduced into a molten steel, e.g. for decarburisation and/or introducing nitrogen into the steel, the ammonia is introduced separately from the oxygen through a tuyere comprising at least two co-axial pipes. The ammonia is preferably introduced through a pipe which is not an outermost pipe. This procedure reduces the risk of the melt solidifying around the ammonia pipe and avoids the need to use combustible oxygen/ammonia mixtures.
Abstract:
The carbon content in iron, cobalt, or nickel based alloys containing at least about 16 percent chromium is substantially eliminated without significant loss of chromium by blowing the alloy with oxygen to oxidise the carbon and simultaneously introducing steam or ammonia in amounts such that the partial pressure of carbon monoxide (formed by oxidation of carbon) is lower than that which corresponds to the equilibrium pressure for the carbon/chromium oxidation e.g. below 0.95 and preferably below 0.5 atmospheres.
Abstract:
THERE IS PROVIDED A STEEL FOR MAKING SAW BLADES, AND A SAW BLADE MADE FROM THE STEEL. THE STEEL HAVING AN ANALYSIS OF UP TO 20% CR, 0.2-1.5% C, AND A MAXIMUM OF 6% ADDITIONAL ALLOYING ELEMENTS AND BEING SUCH THAT IT HAS A FERRITE MATRIX IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 550790*C., AND IN WHICH RANGE THE STEEL IN A FERRITIC STATE HAS BEEN ROLLED TO A TOTAL AREA REDUCTION OF AT LEAST 60%.
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing grease, oil and fat from articles consists of means for boiling a solvent so that the vapor fills a chamber in which the cool articles are placed. The wall of the chamber is designed as a lid which can be lifted for facilitating the insertion and removal of the articles. A spraying means for liquid solvent is arranged in the upper part of the treating chamber to spray liquid solvent over the articles.
