Abstract: A metal-made water-cooling jacket for electric arc furnaces, characterized by comprising an Al diffusion layer having a thickness ranging from 200 to 800 &mgr;m, the Al concentration of the outermost surface of the Al diffusion layer being from 10 to 50 wt. %, formed on the surface of the metal by calorizing treatment.
Abstract: A part or jig of a metal for a gas carburizing furnace has an Al diffusion layer which has an Al content of 10 to 50 wt % in the surface portion of the part or jig, the Al diffusion layer being formed by carrying out the calorizing treatment.
Abstract: An aluminum-diffusion coated steel pipe having an aluminum-coated layer on at least the inner surface of the steel pipe to be in contact with molten metal is used as a gating pipe system in a casting mold comprising a mold body and a gating system for pouring molten metal into the mold body. This aluminum-diffusion coated steel pipe can be further subjected to a secondary heat treatment in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere.
