摘要:
A process of converting an outer layer of an object made of a refractory metal, such as titanium, into a carbide of the refractory metal. A molten metal, such as molten lithium, is placed adjacent the outer surface of the object. The lithium does not react with the titanium, nor is it soluble within the titanium to any significant extent at the temperatures involved. The molten lithium contains elemental carbon, that is, free carbon atoms. At high temperature, the carbon diffuses into the titanium, and reacts with titanium atoms to form titanium carbide in an outer layer. Significantly, no other atoms are present, such as hydrogen or oxygen, which can cause problems, because they are blocked by the molten lithium.

摘要:
Methods are taught for processing low carbon steel wire into high carbon steel wire having improved characteristics for use in vehicle tire construction and other applications, including increased wire strength, corrosion resistance and rubber adherence. Low carbon steel wire is carburized to raise carbon content, resulting in increased strength and corrosion resistance. According to other aspects of the invention, the carburization process may occur in the presence of rubber adherence agents, which adhere to the steel wire, resulting in improved steel rubber adherence in a single processing step.
摘要:
A process for coating a carbonized material with metal is disclosed, wherein a chlorine-containing resin mixture is coated with Cr or Fe-Cr alloy to a thickness of substantially several microns. The coated product is then heated in an inactive atmosphere to carbonize the resin mixture. The process sufficiently coats a metal onto a carbonized material using relatively simple steps.
