    摘要: The strip is cast on a chilled casting surface of a rotating drum from a pool of the molten metal contained in a tundish having a graphite lip insert seated therein cooperating with, the casting surface adjacent to the tundish to form and contain the pool of the molten metal. The tundish preferably contains a feed chamber, a return chamber, and a diverting chamber, the feed chamber and the diverting chamber effectively removing turbulence from the molten feed and the return chamber having a vertically adjustable weir dividing the return chamber from the diverting chamber for controlling the surface level of the pool of molten metal in the diverting chamber and the lip insert and for diverting a flow of molten metal to the return chamber. A preferred lead alloy is a low antimony-lead alloy which is cast into strip and is subjected to a heat treatment to permit expansion and shaping in subsequent production of expanded mesh battery grids. The battery grids produced by the method have improved electrochemical properties such as corrosion resistance and resistance to growth.

    摘要: Copper arsenate, substantially free from impurities that form sludge in wood preservatives such as chromated copper arsenate, is prepared by adding a solution of soluble arsenate to copper sulfate solution, either or both solutions containing sludge-forming impurities, to form a copper and arsenic-containing solution without precipitating copper arsenate. The pH during the adding is controlled at a value in the range of 1.8 to 2.2 to precipitate impurities. Precipitated impurities are removed, and the copper and arsenic-containing solution is neutralized with a suitable alkaline substance to pH 3.5 to 5.0 to precipitate copper arsenate. Arsenate solution is derived from arsenic oxides, soluble arsenic salts and compounds and metallurgical materials capable of yielding water-soluble arsenate. Copper sulfate solution is derived from crystals and compounds and metallurgical materials cable of yielding copper sulfate. In a preferred embodiment, sodium arsenate is derived by aqueous caustic oxidative pressure leaching of flue dusts and copper sulfate is derived by aqueous acid oxidative pressure leaching of copper matte.

    摘要: Gallium is zone refined in a stationary, vertical, double annulus refiner. Impure gallium is contained between walls of a first annulus that are made of a material that does not impart impurities to the gallium. At least one of the walls is made of a flexible material. A cooling fluid is circulated through a second annulus enveloping the first annulus. The gallium is zone refined by moving through the gallium ingot one or more molten zones formed by radio frequency waves from at least one reciprocating radio frequency heating induction coil. After the necessary number of passes, the ingot is cropped without introducing contaminants and refined gallium with purities between 79 and 89 is recovered. LEC single crystal GaAs made with the so refined gallium has very uniform electrical characteristics.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for the agitation of base metal on alloy melts, and for the agitation and alloying of base metal melts with at least one alloying metal. A rotatable device is suspended in a melt of base metal and the device is rotated to draw at least a partial vortex in the melt. The device comprises a hollow cylinder having an open top and a closed bottom. An array of openings in the cylinder side wall is adapted to allow melt of the base metal to pass through. In the agitation of a base metal or alloy melt, the amount of dross formed on the melt is reduced. In alloying, the at least one alloying metal may be added directly to the melt or may be added in particulate form into the vortex in the device, the latter being particularly useful when the melting point of the alloying metal is higher than that of the base metal or alloy. When added into the device, the openings in the cylindrical wall are adapted to retain the particulates in the device to be washed with base metal until the particulates are substantially dissolved. Alloys produced using the device have narrow standard deviations from their specification. The alloying proceeds more efficiently with formation of less dross and less off-specification material, proceeds faster and in less time than heretofore possible, and allows production on a continuous basis.

    摘要: A method for controlling the electro-deposition of metal from an aqueous electrolyte containing two organic polarizing agents is disclosed. The method requires measuring the nucleation overpotential, the plating overpotential, and the difference between these potentials. By relating these measurements to predetermined values, optimum process control can be obtained by changing the concentration of the various organic polarizing agents in the process electrolyte.
