摘要:
The invention relates to a process of electrowinning molten aluminum from alumina dissolved in molten fluoride salts which are essentially cryolite. More specifically the process relates to placing refractory metal raised cathode structures in aluminum reduction cells and treating the raised cathode surfaces to coat them with refractory metal borides. This process deposits coatings composed of titanium diboride and other refractory metal borides on titanium and other refractory metal cathode structures from supersaturated elements dissolved in electrowon molten aluminum. The refractory metal boride coatings are resistant to penetration by the molten aluminum metal.

The surface properties of iron or ferrous alloy are improved by borosiliconizing the surface by contact with a stream of reducing gas containing hydrogen, optionally with an inert gas, to which a gaseous halide or hydride of boron and silicon have been added, either together or sequentially. The temperature of treatment is elevated, e.g. above 350.degree. C., but below 1200.degree. C. Diffusion coatings of both boron and silicon are formed in the ferrous surface. Typical surces of boron and silicon inlude boron trichloride, diborane and silane.

This invention relates to a process for electrowinning molten aluminum from alumina dissolved in molten fluoride salts which are essentially cryolite. More specifically the process relates to the treatment of aluminum reduction cell drained solid cathode surfaces to make them wetted by molten aluminum metal. This process deposits a coating composed of titanium diboride and titanium carbide on the solid cathode surfaces from supersaturated dissolved elements in electrowon aluminum. The electrowon aluminum wets the coating on the cathode. The coating makes the cathode surfaces resistant to erosion, chemical attack and penetration by the molten aluminum metal, sodium and cryolite electrolyte contained in that cell.
摘要:
A layer of a nitride or carbonitride containing at least one of chromium, Group Va elements, titanium and zirconium is formed on the surface of an iron alloy material which has been nitrided. The layer is formed by heating the iron alloy material at a temperature not exceeding 700.degree. C. with a material containing at least one of chromium, Group Va elements, titanium and zirconium and a treating agent. It is a dense layer bonded tightly to the iron alloy material. As a low temperature not exceeding 700.degree. C. is employed, no large amount of heat energy is required, nor is any thermal strain produced in the iron alloy material.

An object of the present invention is a method for the anti-wear treatment of the surface of steel parts having a carbon content of at least 0.15% and the coating obtained thereby. The method is characterized by the fact that an addition of sulfur, by depositing of a metal sulfide for example, and a vapor-phase chromizing are carried out in sucession on the surface to be treated.The coating obtained is characterized by the presence of a layer of chromium sulfide on the surface and by the partial recrystallization of the underlying M.sub.7 C.sub.3 chromium carbide layer.The invention can be applied to any moving mechanical system which is subject to abrasion. The invention has importance because it increases the resistance to wear and the life of the system treated while limiting the wear of the untreated opposing part as a result of friction.

The object of the present invention is an improvement in chromizing methods, constituted by a method of chromizing steels to a depth e greater than 30 microns, usable for steels with a carbon content of at least 0.2%, especially for steels for construction work and steels for tools, characterized by the combination of three successive treatments, the first of these three treatments consisting of an ionic nitriding of a surface layer between 100 and 350 microns thick, this ionic nitriding being realized in an atmosphere constituted by a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen, at a temperature of between 450.degree. C. and 650.degree. C., for between 5 and 40 hours, so as to obtain between 1.5% and 2.5% nitrogen in the nitrided layer, the second of these treatments consisting of a chromizing by gaseous method forming chromium carbides, lasting between 5 and 30 hours, and realized at temperatures of between 850.degree. C. and 1,100.degree. C., the third of these three treatments being a thermal treatment comprising a quenching in oil of the chromized piece followed by a tempering at a temperature of between 600.degree. C. and 650.degree. C., lasting between 30 minutes and 10 hours, depending on the size of the piece treated.
摘要:
A case-hardened, corrosion-resistant steel article is provided which comprises, applying a coating of nickel and/or cobalt to the surface of the article and then subjecting said coated article to carburization by heating said coated article to and maintaining it at an austenitic temperature under carburizing conditions for a time sufficient to effect carbon diffusion into the surface of the steel article. The corrosion resistance of the steel may be further enhanced by applying a thin layer of a final metal coat selected from the group consisting of Cr, Sn, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd.
摘要:
An ion plating method and product therefrom wherein ions of a metal are implanted into or/and plated onto a substrate to increase the hardness of the surface. After plating, the product can be reacted with carbon, boron, nitrogen or another metal, thereby forming the carbide, boride, nitride or metal compound of the plating metal coating. Hardening of the product by quenching follows which produces a cutting tool of superior qualities.
