Abstract:
Atmosphere compositions and processes utilizing the compositions for heat treating ferrous metal articles under a controlled furnace atmosphere to either maintain or change the surface chemistry of the article being treated are disclosed in the following specification.The invention features atmosphere compositions or mixtures which are blended from normally gaseous components outside the furnace and the mixture or blend is injected into the furnace to provide a carburizing, decarburizing, carbonitriding or neutral hardening atmosphere inside the furnace.
Abstract:
An ECG electrode assembly is provided. The electrode assembly includes a backing element, an electrode element, and an electrolyte gel. The electrode assembly includes an electrode assembly having a connection portion or ridge located generally in the center of the backing element. The electrode assembly extends through an aperture in the backing element and includes an integrally formed sensing potion located on the side of the backing element opposite the connection portion.
