    摘要: A process for automated measurement of ammonia in a gas mixture containing ammonia gas and one or more water-insoluble gases includes providing a water reservoir adapted for supplying water therefrom through a first solenoid valve and providing a measurement vessel adapted for receiving water. The vessel is adapted for draining the water therefrom through a second solenoid valve. The vessel is also adapted for receiving the gas mixture through a third solenoid valve and purging the gas mixture from the vessel through a fourth solenoid valve. The vessel is adapted for maintaining the gas in the vessel and receiving water thereinto in an amount sufficient to dissolve the ammonia gas contained in the gas mixture, into the water, and allowing a differential pressure between the gas mixture and the water containing dissolved ammonia to be measured. The process also includes providing a measurement vessel adapted for allowing height of water within the vessel to be measured, providing means for measuring height of water within measurement vessel, and providing recording means for converting the measured height signal to an ammonia concentration value.

    摘要: A steel article is formed of a steel material containing from about 0.08 to about 0.35 carbon and is characterized by having a plurality of carbides dispersed on at least one pre-selected surface area of the article, with the surface carbides being dispersed within a predominantly lower bainitic matrix. A method for forming the steel article having high hardness and higher toughness includes carburizing the article at a temperature and for a period of time, in an atmosphere having a carbon potential, sufficient to form carbides and austenite on at least one preselected surface of the article, and then quenching the carburized article to a temperature below the Ar.sub.1 temperature and above the M.sub.s temperature of the steel material for a time sufficient to transform a major portion of the austenite in the preselected surface area microstructure to lower bainite. The steel article has an equivalent Knoop 500 gram maximum particle hardness of at least 900 and a Charpy unnotched, room temperature toughness of at least 50 Joules, thereby providing an article having both high hardness and improved toughness properties.

    摘要: A process for forming a carburized steel article includes carburizing a steel material containing not more than 0.10% silicon and less than 1.1% chromium to form an austenitic surface matrix having a high density of carbides dispersed therein. After quenching, the carburized steel article is characterized by an outer surface having a high ratio of carbides and is substantially free of intergranular oxides. As a result of preventing undesirable surface oxide formations and simultaneously providing a beneficial surface carbide structure, the bending fatigue strength, wear properties, and contact fatigue strength of articles such as gears, shafts, bearings and couplings are greatly enhanced.

    摘要: Dissociated ammonia carrier gas used as a reference gas is obtained from an ammonia dissociator which also provides dissociated ammonia carrier gas to a nitriding furnace whereby the source of ammonia supply gas is the same. An oxygen probe is used to regulate the nitriding potential of a nitriding furnace and atmosphere for process control and high quality nitrided parts. The method further includes correlating the probe mV output signal to a nitriding potential and adjusting the ratio of ammonia supply gas to dissociated ammonia carrier gas at the inlet of the nitriding furnace.
