Abstract: Method of producing a cold drawn wire from a particle metallurgy steel includes the following steps:-preparation of a bulk of molten metal including in weight %: C 0.03-0.15, Si 0.01-1.2, Mn 0.1-1.5, Cr 15-20, Ni 540, Al 0.5-1.5, optionally max 2 of elements chosen from the group of N, P, S, Cu, Co, W, Mo, Nb, Ti, Zr, Ta, B, Be, Bi, Se, Mg, Ca, Hf, V, and REM, and, using electro slag refining and atomising to provide a metal powder; filling and sealing a capsule with the metal powder; compacting the capsule to provide a full density billet; hot working the billet and finishing by wire rolling; cold drawing the annealed wire with at least 30% area reduction.

Abstract: A method for connecting a first device to a wireless local area network (WLAN) by transferring network related data by encoding said network data as light signals and emitting said light signals from a second device. The method also includes receiving said light signals in a light sensitive means of said first device, decoding said light signals to retrieve said network related data, and transmitting said network related data from said first device for connecting to the WLAN. The first device includes a light signal decoder that extracts said network related data, and a network interface controller operatively connected to said decoder and arranged to connect to a WLAN by transmitting said network related data. The second device includes a memory storing network related data for connection to said WLAN, a light signal encoder and light emitting means emitting said light signals to said light sensitive means.
