Abstract: A high temperature protective coating formed by an alloy on the basis of nickel, cobalt, chromium, aluminum and also frequently of yttrium. There is improved adherence of the metallic oxide covering layer which forms on the protective coating and increased the oxidation and corrosion resistance. Silicon may be admixed to the alloy as a first addition. The amount of the silicon to be admixed to the alloy lies between 1 and 3% by weight. The oxidation and corrosion resistance can be increased by means of a further addition of zirconium in an amount of 1% by weight. The same results can be obtained by a further addition of tantalum, also in the amount of 1% by weight.

Abstract: In the high voltage d-c transmission (HGU) power station in a block circuit, a three-phase generator feeds a 12-pulse high voltage d-c transmission (HGU) short coupler through at least one shifting transformer which serves for forming voltages of two three-phase voltage systems phase-shifted relative to each other by 30.degree. el. As compared to a full transformer, the shifting transformer can be constructed for substantially less power, which reduces the cost and the losses of the station. While the voltages of the two phase-shifted voltage systems can be taken off at the external terminals of the secondary windings of the shifting transformer, the center taps of the secondary windings are acted upon by the generator voltage. Advantageously, the high voltage d-c transmission short coupler is formed of a multiplicity of parallel, electrically separate d-c circuits which can be fed by separate shifting transformers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a joining method for the production of a component from two or more constructional elements which are manufactured from a highly distortion-resistant metallic material, in particular a material based on nickel or iron. The constructional elements and the interlayer are manufactured from an oxide dispersion-hardened material, and are joined together with insertion of the interlayer to give the component. The interlayer is in an unrecrystallized fine-grained plastic state before the joining process, and undergoes recrystallization, as a result of heat treatment, only after the joining process, which is carried out at a temperature of 800 to 1,100 degrees centigrade and under a pressure of 1 to 200 Mpa.
