Abstract: An austenitic manganese steel microalloyed with nitrogen, vanadium and titanium used for castings such as mantles, bowls and jaws manufactured as wear components of crushers in the mining and aggregate industries, hammers used in scrap shredders, frogs and switches used in railway crossings and buckets and track shoes used in mining power shovels. These novel compositions exhibit a fine grain size having carbonitride precipitates that result in castings having a wear life 20-70% longer than prior art castings. The austenitic manganese steel includes, in weight percentages, the following: about 11.0% to 24.0% manganese, about 1.0% to 1.4% carbon, up to about 1% silicon, up to about 1.9% chromium, up to about 0.25% nickel, up to about 1.0% molybdenum, up to about 0.2% aluminum, up to about 0.25% copper, phosphorus and sulfur present as impurities in amounts of about 0.07% max and about 0.06% max. respectively, microalloying additions of titanium in the amounts of about 0.020-0.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for support of contact elements of hammermills and the like are disclosed in which a hardenable liquid bonding material is flowed into a chamber defined by registering recesses in facing relatively slidable surfaces of contact and support elements, the material being allowed to harden to define a key preventing relative slidable movement of the elements. A tongue-and-groove type of connection is provided for allowing the relative slidable movement while positively limiting relative movement in any direction in a plane transverse to the direction of the relative slidable movement.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for support of contact elements for material treating applications are disclosed in which a hardenable liquid bonding material is flowed into a space provided between surface areas of support and contact elements, the material being allowed to harden to provide a solid element which acts in compression to resiliently oppose relative movement of the elements. The space preferably has a cross-sectional configuration such that a wedging action is developed in response to relative movement of the elements. The holding element may be effectively burned out for removal and replacement of the contact element.
