  • Patent number: 4943403
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method for eliminating an organic dispersion medium from a molded product obtained by plasticizing-molding or casting-molding of metallic and/or ceramic powders wherein the elimination is by extraction by liquid carbon dioxide at a temperature not lower than -30.degree. C. and not higher than -31.1.degree. C. The method prevents nonuniform volumetric decrease of the molded product to be otherwise caused by the extraction of the organic dispersion medium, while also making it possible to completely eliminate the organic dispersion medium without causing residual strain or deformation in the molded product.

  • Patent number: 4927457
    Abstract: Ores including oxides of Cr and Fe and melted by means of a furnace, thereby forming molten metal. The molten metal is poured from the furnace into a ladle. A reducing agent, such as SiCr, is added to the molten metal in the ladle. Then, an oxidizing gas or an inert gas is introduced into the molten metal at a rate of more than 7.0 l/min. but not exceeding 29.0 l/min., for each ton of the molten metal, thereby bubbling and stirring the molten metal. Alternatively, an oxidizing gas or an inert gas is introduced into the molten metal, thus bubbling the molten metal and, thus, lowering the temperature of the molten metal to a desired value, and then the molten metal is reladled, thereby to decrease the nitrogen content of the molten metal to a desired value.

  • Patent number: 4926925
    Abstract: Position sensors at an inlet of a mold cavity defined by upper and lower block molds detect distances from the passing upper and lower block molds. In response to outputs from the position sensors, any deflection of the leading end of the tundish nozzle, which can be inclined with respect to the melt outlet of a tundish, toward the upper or lower block molds defining the mold cavity is detected by a control device to generate a drive signal which is delivered to a hydraulic cylinder adapted to incline the tundish nozzle by extending or retracting the rod thereof, whereby the gaps between the leading end of the tundish nozzle and the upper and lower block molds are maintained uniform.

  • Patent number: 4926023
    Abstract: This invention relates to a rotational arc welding machine that gives a rotational circular motion to arc generated from an electrode. The machine supports rotatably an electrode (20) at a predetermined distance (d) from the center of a disc (25) which makes a rotational circular motion and at the same time supports said electrode at the upper part thereof as the supporting point therefor, causing the arc generated from said electrode to make a rotational circular motion by rotating said disc. Accordingly, in the said machine, even though the lower part of the electrode makes a circular motion, the electrode itself does not rotate; therefore, electricity can be directly supplied to the electrode.
