Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for continuously nitriding a strip continuously being fed after cold rolling and before secondary recrystallization annealing in a production line of a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, comprising: a nitriding zone for nitriding the strip; a cooling zone for cooling the strip; and an optional heating zone provided upstream of the nitriding zone for heating the strip, wherein, the nitriding zone is provided with glow discharge electrodes, and by plasma nitriding the strip by glow discharge with the glow discharge electrodes functioning as positive electrodes and the strip functioning as a negative electrode, inhibitor forming elements are uniformly dispersed over the full length and full width of the strip and a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet with excellent magnetic properties with no variation is obtained.
Abstract: An aqueous penetrating ink includes a pigment and a water-soluble dye. The ink also includes a humectant in which the water-soluble dye is to be at least partially dissolved. The humectant is present in the ink between 20 percent by weight and 70 percent by weight. This amount of humectant results in a slow evaporation rate. The ink also includes water, making it suitable for use with some inkjet printers. Because the pigment is not dissolved in the humectant or the water, it forms an image on the surface of a printed side of a substrate. The slow evaporation rate of the humectant allows it to carry the ink through a thickness of a substrate so that it is visible on a non-printed side of the substrate.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to methods and apparatuses for casting of BMG-containing parts. The surfaces of the mold that come into contact with the molten amorphous alloy comprise an amorphous material. In accordance with the disclosure, the mold may be coated with an amorphous material, e.g., to reduce, minimize, or eliminate crystallization of the molded BMG-containing part. The surfaces of the mold are coated, in certain aspects, so as to reduce or eliminate potential grain-boundary nucleation sites for BMG crystallization. The amorphous material may be selected based on the particular molten amorphous alloy to be cast, e.g., based on the wetting properties, the melting and cooling properties, etc.
