Welding Rod Or Electrode Defined By Composition Patents (Class 75/302)
  • Patent number: 9156112
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a similar-metal-composition welding solid wire, and weld metals therefor, with which both excellent bead shape and high ultralow-temperature toughness for the weld joints can be achieved when welding 9% Ni steels together by means of a high-efficiency MIG welding method. A fixed ratio of a REM and O are included in a similar-metal-composition welding solid wire of a 9% NI steel base material, and oxygen is supplied in a trace amount in a range that does not hinder the ultralow-temperature toughness of the weld joint (1a) but that is capable of forming fine REM oxides in the weld metal (3) and of controlling the weld metal to produce an excellent bead shape. In addition, both Al and Ti are regulated and an argon gas that contains little or no carbon dioxide gas is used as the shield gas in the MIG welding method. Thus, both an excellent bead shape and high ultralow-temperature toughness for the weld joint (1a) can be achieved.

    Abstract: A consumable metal joining component having identification for improved recycling has an elongated element formed from a filler metal alloy with a predetermined alloying characteristic. The elongated element has a pair of end portions and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. Each of the end portions has a compositional indicium indicative of the predetermined alloying characteristic. One of the pair of end portions and the intermediate portion of the elongated element are configured to be consumed by heat in a metal joining process. As such, the other of the pair of end portions with the respective compositional indicium remains intact to enable recycling of the remaining end portion regardless of which end portion is consumed.

The resulting electrode is particularly suited for carbothermal reduction of alumina. It has an iron content of about 0.05% by weight, a specific electrical resistivity of above 5 ?Ohm·m, and a thermal conductivity of less than 150 W/m·K. The graphite electrode is manufactured by first mixing calcined anode coke with a coal-tar pitch binder, and a green electrode is formed from the mixture at a temperature close to the softening point of the pitch binder. The green electrode is then baked to carbonize the pitch binder to solid coke. The resultant carbonized electrode, after further optional processing is then graphitized at a temperature below 2700° C. for a time sufficient to cause the carbon atoms in the carbonized electrode to organize into the crystalline structure of graphite.

    Abstract: In a hydrogen-containing tantalum powder of the present invention, a value obtained by dividing the hydrogen content (ppm) by the specific surface area (m2/g) is in the range of 10 to 100. This tantalum powder has a large specific surface area, and when the tantalum powder is used as an anode of a solid electrolyte capacitor, a solid electrolyte capacitor having a large capacitance and a low leakage current can be obtained.

    Abstract: An alloy for use as a welding overlay for boiler tubes in a low NOx coal-fired boiler comprising in % by weight: 36 to 43% Cr, 0.2 to 5.0% Fe, 0-2.0% Nb, 0-1% Mo, 0.3 to 1% Ti, 0.5 to 2% Al, 0.005 to 0.05% C, 0.005 to 0.020% (Mg+Ca), 0-1% Mn, 0-0.5% Si, less than 0.01% S, balance substantially Ni and trace additions and impurities. The alloy provides exceptional coal ash corrosion resistance in low partial pressures of oxygen. The alloy also increases in hardness and in thermal conductivity at service temperature over time. The increased hardness improves erosion resistance of the tubes while the increased thermal conductivity improves the thermal efficiency of the boiler and its power generation capabilities.

  • Patent number: 7425229
    Abstract: A chromium-free welding consumable and a method of welding stainless steel to reduce the presence of chromium emissions. The consumable is made from an alloy that reduces the emission of chromium during a welding process, and include predominantly nickel, with between approximately five and twenty five percent by weight copper, up to approximately five percent by weight of palladium, up to approximately ten percent by weight of molybdenum and up to five percent non-copper alloying ingredients. Welding consumables made from the alloy are particularly well-suited for welding austenitic stainless steels, such as type 304 stainless steel. The method involves using chromium-free weld filler material with a stainless steel base material.

  • Patent number: 7090179
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for a discharge conduit of a medical treatment device, such as a dialysis machine. The mounting assembly has a connector member detachably engageable with a discharge nozzle of a discharge conduit and a suction cup that can be mounted on a rim of a waste receptor, such as a sink or a toilet bow. To ensure proper orientation of the discharge outlet above an opening of a waste receptor, the mounting assembly provides for a rigid securing clamp that engages the discharge nozzle and hooks to a rim, or under a rim of the waste receptor. The mounting assembly supports the discharge nozzle directly above the opening of the waste receptor, thereby facilitating discharge of the liquid waste directly into a municipal sewage line.
