Abstract: Thermal conductivity of glassware forming blank molds and blow molds of Ni-Resist ductile iron is selectively controlled by formation of compacted graphite in the mold microstructure during preparation of the melt and casting of the mold bodies. Specifically, with a Type D5 Ni-Resist ductile iron according to ASTM-A439-84, compacted graphite is selectively formed in the cast microstructure of the mold body by reducing the magnesium and sulphur concentrations in the iron composition to the range of 0.01 to 0.04 wt % magnesium and 0.00 to 0.01 wt % sulphur, and adding titanium to the iron composition in the range of 0.10 to 0.25 wt % titanium. Whereas formation of compacted graphite in the cast microstructure is normally considered to be undesirable for glassware forming molds, it has been found that formation of a small but appreciable amount of graphite provides the opportunity selectively to tailor the thermal conductivity characteristics of the mold body.

Abstract: A superconducting cable comprising an in-situ-formed type II superconductor, e.g. Nb.sub.3 Sn, in association with a stabilizing conductor both in heat transfer relationship with at least one passage adapted to carry liquified gaseous refrigerant. The conductor and said at least one passage are enclosed by a sheath comprising an alloy consisting essentially of about 49% nickel, about 4% chromium, about 3% niobium, about 1.4% titanium, about 1% aluminum, balance essentially iron.

Abstract: The present invention relates to iron-nickel alloys having improved glass sealing properties. Alloys of the present invention contain from about 30% to about 60% nickel, from about 0.5% to about 3% silicon, from about 0.5% to about 3.5% aluminum and the balance essentially iron. Preferably, the alloys have a total aluminum plus silicon content of less than about 4%. The alloys of the present invention have particular utility in electronic and electrical applications. For example, they may be used as a lead frame or a similar component in a semiconductor package.

Abstract: A process for preparing an iron group sintered compact involves forming an admixture of an iron group metal alloy powder additive and iron powder wherein the melting point of the alloy additive is at least about 50.degree. C. lower than that of the iron, compacting the admixture to form a green compact, and sintering the green compact at a temperature of from about 20.degree. C. above the solidus to about 100.degree. C. above the liquidus of the alloy additive whereby a sintered compact is formed. A compact having an iron group alloy additive as a continuous phase and iron as a discontinuous phase wherein the continuous phase has a melting point of at least about 50.degree. C. lower than that of the discontinuous phase can be prepared at lower sintering temperatures than a typical iron powder.
