Method of producing rolled steel having high-strength and low-impact transition temperature

Abstract: Rolled steels characterized in their as-rolled condition by an unexpected combination of high-strength and low-impact transition temperature. The product is produced by rolling a steel workpiece containing both austenite and ferrite, preventing complete recrystallization at any time thereafter, and continuing the rolling of said workpiece as it is cooling in the temperature range between the Ar1 temperature and 600 DEG F.

Molten metal bath level maintenance system

Abstract: The level of molten metal in a molten metal coating furnace is controlled by the use of a counterweighted hollow ceramic displacement block having thin walls not subject to spalling. The hollow ceramic immersion block is associated with a bath level control system having a fail safe feature.

Corrosion of Stainless Steel Conductor Rolls in a Continuous Sheet Electrogalvanizing Line

Abstract: Conductor rolls carry electrical current from steel strip during plating on a continuous electrogalvanizing line. Wear of type 316L (UNS 31603) stainless steel (SS) sleeves on the conductor rolls can lead to increased line downtime and higher operating costs. We conducted laboratory tests to examine the hypothesis that some fraction of conductor roll wear is caused by corrosion that is accelerated by repeated cycles of coupling and uncoupling of the type 316L SS sleeve to zinc and exposure to a dilute sulfuric acid rinse solution. It was found that coupling to zinc causes reduction of the passive film on type 316L SS. Upon subsequent uncoupling, type 316L SS undergoes an interval of active corrosion prior to repassivation. When the time between uncoupling and recoupling is less than the time needed for repassivation, corrosion of type 316L SS is increased. We found that hydrogen peroxide accelerates the rate of repassivation and that it decreases corrosion of type 316L SS during cyclic coupling t...

Lateral restraining device for cargo containers having more than one width

Abstract: A cargo container restraining device for preventing lateral movement of cargo containers being transported on freight vehicles the restraining device being adaptable to containers of different widths and comprising fixed and pivotal restraining assemblies where the pivotal restraining assemblies are interconnected by linkage to provide means for raising or lowering the pivotal restraining assemblies from either side of the freight vehicle.
