Abstract: A gas stream containing at least one fluorine compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of carbon and fluorine, compounds of carbon, hydrogen and fluorine, compounds of sulfur and fluorine, compounds of nitrogen and fluorine and compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and fluorine is contacted with a catalyst comprising at least one of alumina, titania, zirconia and silica, preferably a catalyst comprising alumina and at least one of nickel oxide, zinc oxide and titania in the presence of steam, thereby hydrolyzing the fluorine compound at a relatively low temperature, e.g. 200°-800° C., to convert the fluorine of the fluorine compound to hydrogen fluoride.

Abstract: A numerical control device for synchronously controlling the movement of a plurality of axes of a machine by repeatedly controlling a cyclic motion. An axis of the machine is designed to stop at a predetermined position upon the occurrence of an emergency stop. To achieve this stop position, an amount of retraction is set up to a position where a tool of machine does not interfere with a work piece or other obstacles. When an emergency stop signal is entered during a binary operation, because of an occurrence of an abnormality, a movement control amount for each period, corresponding to a set amount of retraction, is added to the movement control amount for each period of the binary operation and the axis is thereby driven by the resultant modified movement control amount. The binary operation is stopped upon the reaching of the stop position, and the tool can be held at this retracted position, by the set amount of retraction.

Abstract: A superalloy having more excellent hot corrosion resistance than conventional single crystal alloys, oxidation resistance levels as high as that of conventional single crystal alloys, high strength, and creep rupture strength; single crystal members used for a blade or a nozzle produced by utilizing such an alloy; and a combined cycle power generation system produced by utilizing such members. A highly hot corrosion resistant and high-strength superalloy consisting essentially of, by weight, 6-12% Cr, 4.5-6.5% Al, 2-12% W, 2.5-10% Ta, not more than 5.8% Mo, 0.1-3% Co, 0.2-3% Nb, 0.1-4% Re, not more than 0.3% Hf, and the balance being Ni and unavoidable impurities; single crystal members used for a blade or a nozzle produced utilizing such an alloy; and a combined cycle power generation system produced by utilizing such members.

Abstract: A Ni-base superalloy consisting essentially of, by weight: 0.05 to 0.20% C, 20 to 25% Co, 15 to 25% Cr, 1.0 to 3.0% Al, 1.0 to 3.0% Ti, 1.0 to 3.0% Nb, 5 to 10% W, and at least 55% Ni, the combination of the [Al+Ti] and tungsten contents being determined as shown in FIG. 5. This superalloy has a high thermal-fatigue resistance, a great high-temperature strength, particularly, a great creep rupture strength, and a good weldability. The superalloy is used to form gas turbine nozzles, which are employed in a gas turbine. Using such a gas turbine, a combined power generating system is built.

Abstract: A CNC method controls a plurality of paths with a single computerized numerical control apparatus. In the CNC method, an order (6) in which to execute part programs (5) for the respective paths (4) is designated, and the part programs (5) are sequentially executed in the designated order. The contents of the part programs (5) can thus be checked for each of the part programs.
