摘要:
Alloy for carburized bearing members intended to be used at operating temperatures up to 1000.degree.F, characterized in having the ability to achieve and retain high surface hardness after carburization coupled with good hot-workability which enables billets formed from the alloy to be pierced in a seamless tube-forming operation. Also described is the method for heat treating such an alloy to achieve the desired surface hardness, on the order of Rockwell C58 and higher. The alloy contains, as essential constituents, 0.1 to 0.3% carbon, 0.2 to 1% manganese, 0.2 to 0.6% silicon, from an effective amount up to 1.2% chromium, 2.5 to 3.5% nickel, 4 to 6% molybdenum and 0.25 to 0.85% vanadium.
摘要:
A method of making a ball stud in which a low carbon steel or a low carbon alloy steel is used as a starting material, the material is coldly formed into the ball stud, a lower carbon content and smaller carburization depth are selected in comparison with an ordinary carburization method and diffusion heat treatment of said material is carried out at substantially the same temperature as the carburization temperature, then said material is subjected to quenching and tempering treatment and finally induction hardening is applied only to the ball portion of said ball stud.

A METHOD AND APPARATUS OF VACUUM CARBURIZING BY CHANGING THE SURFACE CHEMISTRY OF A METAL ARTICLE THROUGH ABSORPTION AND THERMAL DIFFUSION OF CARBON, WHEREIN OXIDIZING GASES AND OTHER IMPURITIES ARE INITIALLY REMOVED FROM THE CHAMBER IN WHICH THE METAL ARTICLE IS TREATED BY EVACUATION AND THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CHAMBER IS MAINTAINED AT A LEVEL ABOVE NORMAL CARBURIZING TEMPERATURES, BUT AT A POINT THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHAMBER AND THE ARTICLE, WHEREAFTER A SOURCE OF CARBON IS INTRODUCED INTO THE EVACUATED CHAMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH A PRESELECTED CYCLE AND AT A CONCENTRATION THAT IS CONTROLLED BY THE ABSOLUTE PRESSURE OF THE CARBON IN THE CHAMBER, SO THAT THE CARBON IS ABSORBED AND DIFFUSED INTO THE METAL ARTICLE AT A CONTROLLED RATE.
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:
A quartz crystal resonator tuning plating automatic control process utilizing an automatic feedback control circuit in a process loop with the quartz crystal being metal plating tuned in an oscillator circuit. The frequency of the oscillator circuit is mixed with a reference frequency and the difference frequency is converted to dc applied to an RC circuit connected to a power amplifier for developing an exponential power output response from the power amplifier that melts and vaporizes plating metal (such as gold) in a vacuum chamber. This results in the plating rate on the quartz crystal being tuned processed tapering off from a much higher rate to a very low plating rate as the desired tuned frequency is approached. Minimum power level and shutoff controls are provided for the power amplifier in attaining desired levels of product frequency adjustment and plating cutoff.
摘要:
Alumina whiskers are grown on cold-rolled Fe-Cr-Al alloy foil by a two-step oxidation treatment. A bare metal surface is initially oxidized by heating while exposing to a predominantly inert atmosphere containing 0.1 volume percent oxygen or less. Thereafter, the surface is further oxidized by heating while exposing to air to grow the whiskers. In a preferred embodiment, whisker-covered foil is coated with a catalyst-bearing alumina layer and suitably wound into a structure for use in an automotive catalytic converter.
