Abstract: A process for producing propylene random copolymer resin foamed particles is disclosed. The process comprises dispersing propylene-ethylene random copolymer resin particles having an ethylene content of from 1 to 12% by weight in water in a closed vessel, feeding an inorganic gas into the closed vessel to raise the pressure within the closed vessel to at least 5 Kg/cm.sup.2 G, heating the dispersion to a temperature above the melting point of said copolymer resin particles but not higher than that by 25.degree. C. or more, opening a discharge port provided in the closed vessel below the water surface, and releasing the copolymer resin particles together with water as a dispersing medium into an atmosphere having a lower pressure than in the closed vessel. A foamed product produced by molding the foamed particles has firm bondage among the particles and excellent mechanical strength.

Abstract: This disclosure deals with apparatus for grinding kitchen wastes or garbage into particles sufficiently small that they may be carried away by ordinary sewage facilities. The apparatus includes means forming a passage into which the wastes are disposed, a spirally grooved or screw-shaped member rotatably mounted in the passage, a pair of grinding members mounted at the outlet of the passage, the grinding members being movable relative to each other and forming a waste receiving space therebetween, and impeller means in the space for moving waste from the passage into the space. The screw-shaped member both shreds the waste and moves the wastes through the passage. The grinding members grind the waste between them into a paste-like consistency and the impeller also shreds the waste.

Abstract: Method of fabrication of material suited for use in a thermal reactor according to which austenitic stainless steel is dipped in a bath of molten aluminium in addition of silicon and then receives heat treatment in specific temperature ranges, whereby preferential diffusion of silicon in the steel material is effected. The diffused silicon prevents diffusion of aluminium and ensures that thickness of plating layers remains at a value such that distortion of a plated element does not occur even after prolonged service.

Abstract: A method for making ferrous metal having highly improved resistances to corrosion and to oxidization, which comprises hot-dipping a metallic workpiece in a molten aluminum or aluminum alloy bath, primary heat-treatment of the metallic workpiece and secondary heat-treatment of the metallic workpiece. During the primary heat-treatment, an intermetallic compound layer is formed over the surface of the metallic workpiece, which is developed into an alloy layer during the secondary heat-treatment to make the alloy layer firmly secured to the base of the workpiece. The secondary heat-treatment may be omitted depending on the application of the ferrous metal processed by this method.
