This invention relates to compositions and methods for the at least partial dissolution, disruption and/or removal of deposit, such as scale and other deposit, from heat exchanger components. The heat exchanger components can include pressurized water reactor steam generators. In accordance with the invention, elemental metal is added locally to the surface of the deposit and/or anodic or cathodic current is applied locally to the deposit surface to destabilize or weaken the deposit. Subsequently, mechanical stress is applied to the weakened deposit to disrupt and remove the deposit from the surface of the heat exchanger component.

A process for the delacquering and detinning of a metal substrate is presented comprising the fully electrochemical removal of both an outer polymeric coating and an inner tin coating from a metal substrate. The disclosed method provides a clean metal substrate, and results in wastes which are easily disposed of with minimal cost and minimal environmental impact. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises a one-stage process for removing an outer polymeric coating and an inner tin coating from a metal substrate in a single electrolyte bath through electrolytic removal of both the polymeric and tin layers from the metal substrate. An electrically conductive container having the electrolyte bath therein acts as an anode in the process, and the removed tin is plated out on the cathode. In another embodiment, the present invention comprises a two-stage process for removing an outer polymeric coating and an inner tin coating from a metal substrate. The first stage comprises removal of the polymeric coating in a first electrolyte bath through application of a cathodic current to a first electrically conductive container, e.g. tank, drum, or the like. The polymeric and tin coated metal substrate that is immersed in the first electrolyte bath is cathodically protected provided the coated metal substrate is in contact with the first electrically conductive container. The second stage comprises removal of the tin coating via application of moderate anodic currents to a second electrically conductive container, e.g. tank, drum, or the like. Such current results in the selective removal of tin from the substrate metal. The second electrically conductive container and the tin cans act as an anode in the process, and the removed tin is plated out on the cathode.
摘要:
A method for forming a spring which can reduce variations in the surface hardness and the thickness of the hardened layer when the spring is nitrided. Before nitriding the spring, the thickness of an oxide film formed on the surface of the spring is reduced to 1.5 .mu.m or less by electropolishing or any other suitable means so that the residual stress of the spring will be -5 kgf/mm.sup.2 to 5 kgf/mm.sup.2 near its surface. With this arrangement, it is possible to increase the surface hardness and the thickness of the nitrided layer of the spring obtained by nitriding.
摘要:
An ultrasonic agitator (10) for generating turbulence in the vicinity of elongated metal workpieces (12) such as newly formed strands of wire. The system includes a bath (14) that is filled with a cleaning solution (16). The workpiece is introduced into the bath so as to move along a predetermined path of travel. One or more transducers (20, 24) are disposed in the bath to produce ultrasonic waves in the cleaning solution. The transducers are further configured and spaced so that the focal points of the vibrations substantially coincide with the path of travel with the workpiece. The transducers are driven by a signal generator (28) that causes the transducers to vibrate at a frequency between 0.5 and 3.0 MHz. The vibrations of the transducers produce ultrasonic waves that can be used to scrub off contaminants from the surface of the workpiece.
摘要:
In electrochemical machining of workpieces a predetermined product of current quantity and machining time (amp. seconds) is necessary to remove a given quantity of material from a workpiece edge. In order to minimize machining time it is proposed to divide the machining process into at least two machining periods, a first short one during which a relatively small working current is applied and a longer second one during which a much higher working current is set. Between both periods a discontinuous momentary steep current rise in the region of 100 percent to 1000 percent is effected. Due to this new method not only the total machining time is reduced but the current feed control becomes easier and test runs in many cases are unnecessary.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for the removal of undesirable oxides from the surface of nickel-base or nickel-iron base alloys containing oxidizable aluminum and/or titanium prior to brazing. The alloy is heated in air at an elevated temperature for a time sufficient to form on the alloy surface a bilayered film comprised of a first oxide top layer containing at least titanium or aluminum and a second layer beneath the first comprised of the alloy composition substantially depleted of aluminum and/or titanium. The surface of the alloy is cleaned to remove the first oxide layer whereupon the remaining surface is in condition for brazing.
摘要:
A method for the chemical removal of oxide layers from the surface of objects made of metals, in particular those made of titanium, titanium alloys, nickel, nickel alloys and chrome-nickel steels, so that these objects can subsequently be effectively coated with metals. The removal of the oxide layers is effected in a nonaqueous organic medium containing a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and one or more alkali fluorides and/or ammonium fluoride. By practice of this method, interfering oxide films can be removed from the surfaces of workpieces made of the above-named metals or metal alloys, while maintaining stable dimensional accuracy, prior to a subsequent coating of the workpiece with other metals, in particular metal coating compositions such as aluminum, zinc or silver.
