Effects of Mn, Si, and purity on the design of 3.5NiCrMoV, 1CrMoV, and 2.25Cr-1Mo bainitic alloy steels

Abstract: Three high-temperature bainitic alloy steels were evaluated in the laboratory to determine the effects of Mn, Si, and impurities (i.e., S, P, Sn, As, and Sb) on microstructure and mechanical properties. The alloy steels were 3.5NiCrMoV and CrMoV, which are used for turbine rotors, and 2.25Cr-1Mo, which is used in pressure vessel applications. The important effects of Mn, Si, and impurities, which should control the design of these high-temperature bainitic steels, are presented. Key results are used to illustrate the influence of these variables on cleanliness, overheating, austenitizing, hardenability, tempering, ductility, toughness, temper embrittlement, creep rupture, and low-cycle fatigue. Low levels of Mn, Si, and impurities not only result in improved temper embrittlement resistance in these steels but also lead to an improvement in creep rupture properties (i.e., improved strength and ductility). These results have produced some general guidelines for the design of high-temperature bainitic steels. Examples illustrating the implementation of the results and the effectiveness of the design guidelines are provided. Largely based on the benefits shown by this work, a high-purity 3.5NiCrMoV steel, which is essentially free of Mn, Si, and impurities, has been developed and is already being used commercially.

Wet quenching of incandescent coke

Abstract: Method for the reduction of emissions from the wet quenching of incandescent coke in a quenching tower adapted to receive in its base a quench car containing the coke which comprises positioning the car with the coke in the quenching chamber of the tower, effecting a gas seal to substantially prevent air from infiltrating the quenching chamber and ascending the tower, quenching the coke with the resultant generation of steam and other quenching emissions, cooling and cleaning the emissions with water sprays, demisting the cooled emissions, sensing the external and internal pressures of the tower during the quenching process, maintaining a substantially zero gauge internal pressure by controlling the emissions flow exiting the tower and collecting, cooling and recycling the quenching and cooling waters. Apparatus for practicing the method is also disclosed.

Remote control system for mining machines

Abstract: An intrinsically safe system controls all miner hydraulic and electrical functions from a hand held miner remote control pendant. Pendant control devices provide on/off control signals to interfaces with miner drive and pump controllers, as well as a group of ±6 VDC differential proportional and on/off control signals to respective electronic valve drivers. Valve driver outputs are fed to respective force motors on pilot stage valves which control each hydraulic function. Each valve driver output is modified by offset and dither signals to overcome power stage valve dead band and frictional characteristics. Pilot stage valves have an internal feedback sleeve coacting with a pilot valve spool in a hydraulic servo circuit. Pilot stage valves operate in a pilot oil system which may be isolated from power oil systems.

Ferrous product having an alloy coating thereon of Al-Zn-Mg-Si Alloy, and method

Abstract: A coated ferrous article with improved properties, e.g., improved overall corrosion resistance and good appearance. The article has a ferrous substrate and a ductile, adherent, corrosion resistant alloy coating metallurgically bonded to the substrate. The alloy coating has a thin intermetallic alloy layer intermediate the substrate and an alloy overlay. The alloy overlay consists essentially of, by weight, magnesium from 3% to 20%, silicon from 3% to 15%, balance aluminum and zinc, where the ##EQU1## is between 1 and 1.5. The metallurgical structure of the overlay is a mixture of (1) cored aluminum-rich dendrites having dendrite arm spacings (DAS) of less than 10μ, (2) zinc-rich interdendritic regions, and (3) intermetallic phases of zinc, aluminum, magnesium and silicon. The article may be produced by hot dip coating a ferrous substrate in a molten metal bath of the above composition.
