Abstract: During investigation of thermal stability of the amorphous magnetic alloys by the Inventors, it was discovered that, due to the application of heat to the alloys, the hysteresis loop of the conventional, amorphous magnetic alloys was shifted in such a manner that the initial permeability of the alloys was decreased. It was also discovered that the initial permeability of the conventional amorphous magnetic alloys was irreversibly changed due to the application of heat to and the withdrawal of heat from the alloys.The present invention is characterized by the discovery of an unexpected relationship between the content of metallic elements and a metalloid element(s) of the amorphous alloy composition, thereby providing novel alloy compositions with thermally stable magnetic properties.The present invention is also characterized by incorporating an additional element or elements into an amorphous magnetic alloy, thereby providing the alloy with thermal stability.

The multi-layer plating comprises, in sequence over a ferrous metal substrate, a layer of an alloy which has micro-throwing power, such as nickel-cadmium, nickel-zinc, iron-cadmium, iron-zinc, cobalt-cadmium, or cobalt-zinc, a layer of cadmium, cadmium-tin alloy, a dual layer of cadmium and tin, zinc or zinc alloy, a layer of copper, a layer of nickel, and a layer of chromium or a metallic chromium substitute. The method comprises plating, and preferably electroplating, the aforementioned layers of alloy and metals over an article having a ferrous metal substrate to obtain improved corrosion resistance.

Abstract: Steel compositions which provide a combination of high-strength with good low-temperature toughness, are made more economical to produce by the addition of small amounts of copper, molybdenum and chromium to reduce the amount of nickel required for such properties. For steels containing less than 1.5% nickel, low temperature toughness can further be improved without any sacrifice in strength by maintaining the silicon content below 0.1%, and preferably below 0.05%.

Abstract: Thermochemical Treatment System and Process for the treatment of steel or steel alloys by ionic bombardment. Two successive stages of operation are involved in which during the first stage, a DC voltage is applied across the electrodes of a furnace so that the furnace operates at a point far enough away from the arc formation zone to prevent formation of an arc and lies in the zone of abnormal discharge. During the second stage, a succession of pulses of voltage pulses of high voltage but of limited energy is applied to the furnace electrodes, and the operating point of the furnace moves along the voltage-intensity curve to a limit point far enough away from the arc formation zone, so that no arc formation takes place.

Abstract: The instant disclosure is concerned with martensitic stainless steel cutting edges such as razor blades which have superior corrosion resistance and which, although containing only between 0.30% to 0.45% carbon have hardnesses which are equal or better than cutting edges made from martensitic stainless steels containing 0.6% or more carbon which are widely sold commercially. Generally the blades are produced by treating them prior to hardening so that they will have a fine carbide microstructure comprising about 200 to about 500 carbides per 100 square microns, hardening them under conditions in which the fine microstructure will be substantially retained, i.e. subsequent to hardening they will still have about 200 to 500 carbides per 100 square microns, and forming the cutting edge.

Columbium carbo-nitrides are distributed as dispersoids in a ferritic matrix and provide a strenghtening effect which prevents scratches, seams and longitudinal folds in hot rolled material and galling and scratches in cold drawn material. Preferably columbium plus vanadium is not more than 4 times carbon plus nitrogen.

Abstract: An essentially gamma-prime precipitation-hardened iron-chromium-nickel alloy has been designed with emphasis on minimum nickel and chromium contents to reduce the swelling tendencies of these alloys when used in liquid metal fast breeder reactors. The precipitation-hardening components have been designed for phase stability and such residual elements as silicon and boron, also have been selected to minimize swelling. Using the properties of these alloys in one design would result in an increased breeding ratio over 20% cold worked stainless steel, a reference material, of 1.239 to 1.310 and a reduced doubling time from 15.8 to 11.4 years.The gross stoichiometry of the alloying composition comprises from about 0.04% to about 0.06% carbon, from about 0.05% to about 1.0% silicon, up to about 0.1% zirconium, up to about 0.5% vanadium, from about 24% to about 31% nickel, from 8% to about 11% chromium, from about 1.7% to about 3.5% titanium, from about 1.0% to about 1.8% aluminum, from about 0.9% to about 3.
