Apparatus and method for removing and/or adding column sections to a column of a marine structure

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing and/or adding column sections to a column of a marine structure, such as a mobile drilling platform, employs a carriage for supporting a column section slidably mounted on the marine structure platform and jacking means for moving the platform and column relative to each other. When a column section is to be added to the column, the carriage with a column section supported thereon is positioned above the column. The jacking means is then operated to bring the top of the column into contact with the bottom of the carriage supported column section. The column section is then welded to the column and detached from the carriage. When a column section is to be removed from the column, a carriage is positioned above the column. The jacking means is then operated to bring the column within the carriage, and the column is secured to the carriage. A portion of the column is then severed from the column.

Ferrous alloys containing bismuth

Abstract: This invention relates to steels and particularly to steels which are to be subjected to machining operations. The essence of the invention lies in the discovery that the addition of bismuth to steels of various compositions has a beneficial effect upon their machining characteristics, as...

Method of making cross-rolled powder metal discs

Abstract: A method of making metal stock utilizing powder metal technology and rolling mill practices The method described comprises filling a container having a contoured interior surface with metal powder, sealing, evacuating and heating the container and cross-rolling the containerized powder in a rolling mill to produce a predictable size and configuration of compacted metal product having properties similar to conventionally rolled or forged stock

Method of making plastic composite with wire reinforcements

Abstract: A wire fiber reinforced plastic composite is formed by coating thin ferrous wires and sacrificial metal wires such as zinc wires in the form of steel and zinc wool or the like with a film of fused acrylonitrile-butadiene-sytrene subsequent to thorough cleaning of the wires. The ferrous and zinc wires are then combined together into a metallic fiber, extrusion coated with a styrene base plastic resin such as polystyrene or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and then chopped into uniform pellets for use as a feed material for a plastic composite hot forming operation preferably heated by induction heating of the component ferrous wires in the plastic. Alternatively the ferrous and zinc fibers can be extrusion coated separately and then blended together as pellets or even used separately for making a plastic composite.
