Abstract: A rotor for a coarse reduction impact crusher with exchangeable blow bars including a rotor disk to be driven in rotation with a plurality of radially facing recesses in the periphery and the bars locked in the recesses between a supporting element welded in the recess on the trailing side thereof and a shoe being U-shaped and locked over a projection on the rotor disk with a pair of clamping keys securing the shoe with one of the keys being U-shaped, and the keys being removable axially, and the blow bar having forwardly and rearwardly extending teeth with inclined outwardly facing surfaces to lock beneath corresponding surfaces on the supporting element.

Abstract: A hermetically sealed arc furnace for producing stainless steel is disclosed which makes use, as a main raw material, a semi-reduced chrome ore pellet and a reduced iron ore pellet and by which these pellets are melted, decarburized and finally refined under a reduced pressure said hermetically sealed arc furnace capable of adjusting its interior reduced pressure, and particularly including a vacuum-tight seal between the furnace lid and furnace body, a telescopically sealed gap between the lid and an electrode extending therethrough and an exhaust opening detachably connected to a vacuum pump for reducing the internal pressure within the furnace.
