Abstract: The decorative part of this invention, which means a part having an aesthetically treated indication, comprises a first indicator which permits the transmission of light, a semitransparent part placed behind the first indicator which reflects the light coming from the front and passes the light coming from the rear, a second indicator which permits the partial transmission of light and is placed behind the semitransparent part, and an illuminant placed behind the second indicator. Thus, it is possible to switch the display of the decorative part as desired by turning on and off the illuminant at proper time.

Abstract: A steel-making process in a converter, which includes using a carbon monoxide gas as an agitating gas supplied from a position lower than molten metal bath level.

Abstract: A process for producing an extremely low carbon steel in a top- and bottom-blown converter. The process is characterized in top-blowing a mixed gas of oxygen gas and an inert gas onto a molten steel in the top- and bottom-blown converter. The mixed gas is blown through a top-blowing lance at the final decarburization stage, while a gas (selected from a group consisting of an inert gas, oxygen gas and a mixture of oxygen and an inert gas) is bottom-blown into the molten steel in the converter.

Abstract: A process for producing a steel in at least two converters using a great or substantial amount of an iron-bearing cold material. The iron-bearing cold material and a carbonaceous material are supplied into one of the converters under the presence of a molten iron or a preliminarily treated molten iron and are melted therein under oxygen-blowing to obtain a preliminarily treated molten iron containing a high content of carbon, and the preliminarily treated molten iron is refined in the other converter under oxygen-blowing to obtain a molten steel having the given composition.

Abstract: A process for separating carbon monoxide from a feed gas comprising CO.sub.2, CO and less adsorbable component than CO through PSA by using at least two adsorption columns in two stage adsorption operation which comprises a first adsorption stage for removing CO.sub.

Abstract: A method of stirring molten metal by repeatedly sucking and rapidly discharging part of the molten metal into and out of a refractory cylinder having a lower opening end immersed in the molten metal in a ladle, comprises operating the stirring under a condition that an inner diameter (d) of the refractory cylinder is less than 1,000 mm, a relation between the inner diameter (d, mm) of the refractory cylinder and weight (W, ton) of the molten metal in the ladle is d/W.sup.0.5 >30, and an immersed depth of the refractory cylinder is within 200-700 mm. A pressurized gas for discharging the sucked molten metal out of the cylinder is introduced thereinto in an inclined direction relative to a vertical line against a point on an opposite inner wall of the cylinder at least 500 mm above the maximum suction level of the molten metal in the cylinder.

Abstract: Wear of tuyeres for refining a molten iron is prevented by blowing a CO-containing gas having the defined flow amount, oxygen gas flow amount and CO gas concentration as a shrouding gas which surrounds a core refining gas flow containing oxygen gas through tuyeres of concentric pipes. As the shrouding gas for cooling and protecting the tuyeres, use may be made of an exhaust gas discharged and recovered from a converter or a blast furnace by controlling the concentrations of CO and N.sub.2 in the exhaust gas to the specific limitations.

Abstract: A method of refining molten metal with stirring in a refining vessel by repeated operation of suction and discharge is disclosed, wherein a lower end of a refractory cylinder is immersed into a molten metal bath in the vessel and an inside of the cylinder opposite to the immersed end is alternately subjected to evacuation and pressurization. In this method, maximum and average values of pressure reduction velocity to be applied to the inside of the cylinder are limited to not more than 1,000 mmHg/sec and not more than 500 mmHg/sec, respectively, and an evacuation time is extended over at least 1.5 times intrinsic oscillation period of up and down movement of molten metal column inside the cylinder.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing complex metallic plates. A hollow metal piece, which will form the outer layer, is first made. A powder which will form the inner layer is then filled within the hollow metal piece. The multi-layer plate is then manufactured by hot-rolling the metal piece.
