Abstract: A method for making an enameled steel sheet includes the steps of spraying a slurry to form a slurry layer onto a surface of a substrate and firing the slurry layer. In this method, the slurry has a static surface tension of 50 dyne/cm or less and an apparent viscosity of 500 mPa·s that is measured with a model E viscometer at a rotation of 100 rpm. Alternatively, the method includes a step of spraying a slurry for forming an enamel layer onto a surface of a substrate, wherein the substrate is vibrated when the slurry is applied or when the slurry applied is still fluid.

Abstract: A method of solidifying a steel-making slag is performed by subjecting a mixture of a steel-making slag containing at least about 50% by weight of a powdery steel-making slag having a particle size not greater than about 5 mm and a substance containing at least about 30% by weight of SiO2 (e.g., a fly ash and/or the fine powder of a granulated blast furnace slag) to a hydration reaction. The resulting solidified material contains at least about 20% of a tobermorite phase, has high strength and is suitable as an inorganic material useful as a roadbed material, building and civil engineering materials, etc.

Abstract: A flame spray mending material effective for applying a dense thermal spray mending layer to a silica brick wall of an industrial furnace, having a high crystallization ratio immediately after thermal spraying in a broad thermal spray condition, having an oxide concentration of 89% by weight or more of SiO2, more than 2.0 to 4.0% by weight of Na2O and/or more than 0.2 to 4.0% by weight of Li2O, having a 80% or more crystallization ratio after thermal spraying and 200 kgf/cm2 or more compression strength. A slight amount of CaO may be present to make a flame spray mending material with an oxide concentration of 89% by weight or more of SiO2, more than 2.0 to 5.0% by weight of CaO, 0.5 to 4.0% by weight of Na2O and/or more than 0.2 to 4.0% by weight of Li2O, and 1.0% by weight of less of Al2O3.

Abstract: A poly(ethylene terephthalate) polyester composition which is decreased in the amount of a cyclic trimer of ethylene terephthalate formed in melting, and a method for producing the same.

Abstract: A porcelain enameled steel sheet comprises an aluminum/zinc alloy-plated steel sheet and a porcelain enamel coating layer as the upper most layer of the steel sheet, wherein an interstitial layer having good adhesion to the plating layer and the enamel coating layer is sandwiched between these two layers. The intermediate layer is preferably a member selected from the group consisting of: (1) the surface layer on the aluminum/zinc alloy-plating layer, whose aluminum content is not less than 96% by weight; (2) the surface layer on the aluminum-zinc alloy-plating layer, which comprises aluminum, nickel and not more than 1% by weight of zinc; (3) a coating layer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, Mo, Mn, Ni--P, Ni--Co--P and Co--P; (4) a chromate layer; and (5) a coating layer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of zinc phosphate, manganese phosphate and aluminum phosphate.
