Abstract:
The method for producing a rare-earth sintered magnet of the present invention includes the steps of: compacting alloy powder for the rare-earth sintered magnet to form a green compact; loading the green compact into a case having a structure restricting a path through which gas flows between the outside and inside of the case, and placing a gas absorbent at least near the path; and sintering the green compact by heating the case including the green compact inside in a decompressed atmosphere.
Abstract:
A continuous treatment apparatus is provided that resists thermal shock and treatment gases and correctly transfers treated objects. An urging mechanism 9 that urges a treated object w is adapted to transfer a treated object w by reciprocating rack member 91 using a pinion 92 in separating compartments 6 between treatment chambers 1, 2, 3, and 4. This arrangement eliminates the need to install rack members 91 and pinion 92 in a severe atomsphere.
Abstract:
A walking beam type reheating furnace which is provided with a furnace housing, stationary beams fixedly mounted in the furnace housing, first movable beams arranged on the charge side in the furnace housing, second movable beams arranged separately from the first movable beams on the discharge side in the furnace housing and a steel workpiece transfer device capable of transferring a steel workpiece which is placed in a zone where the first movable beams are located to a predetermined position in the vicinity of a separating portion of the first and second movable beams by passing the steel workpiece over the stationary beams and the first movable beams, wherein the first and second movable beams can be independently driven from each other.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the debonding and sand core removal of sand cores from cast parts, the heat treating of metal parts and the removal of organic contamination from metal parts, which is utilizing a fluid bed furnace having an improved fluidizing gas distributor which discharges fluidized gas in a downward direction away from the parts in the fluidized bed.
Abstract:
A case according to the present invention is used in a sintering process to produce a rare-earth magnet. The case includes: a body with an opening; a door for opening or closing the opening of the body; and supporting rods for horizontally sliding a sintering plate, on which green compacts of rare-earth magnetic alloy powder are placed. The supporting rods are secured inside the body. At least the body and the door are made of molybdenum.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reclaiming contaminated scrap metal, more particularly an improved reverberatory furnace designed for melting scrap. The amount of hydrocarbons volatilized from the melting of contaminated scrap is measured and the fumes are passed into the main hearth for burning. As the amount of fuel value contained within the fumes increases, the amount of fuel provided to the burner is proportionally reduced while the amount of oxygen is kept constant. This will ensure that the amount of fuel and the amount of oxygen present within the furnace is completely burned without excessive free oxygen or unburned fuel building up within the furnace or furnace exhaust. The burner will be operating under lean fuel conditions or under fuel rich conditions such that the flame temperature is lower than at stoichiometric firing, whereby the burners create reduced NOx.
Abstract:
A reverse air flow oven for symmetrically heating product inserted within a heating chamber in the oven. The oven includes duct work configured symmetrically about the heating chamber, and a fan provides continuous circulation through the duct work and the heating chamber. The duct work also includes a pair of doors having complimentary configurations so that in one configuration, the air flow is in a first direction, and in the complimentary configuration, the doors cause air flow in the opposite direction. Further, a perforated plate regulates and equalizes air flow across the heating chamber and includes valve plates for controlling a build up of static pressure within the heating chamber.
Abstract:
An installation for the heat-treatment of parts includes a rotary hearth that can be rotated in a timed manner and which has an outer and an inner wall limiting a furnace chamber that is divided up into a heating zone and at least one treatment zone by vertically movable doors. The outer wall in the heating zone is provided with a closable opening for charging or discharging the furnace. The installation further comprises a transport device for transporting the parts into or out of the rotary hearth furnace and a quenching device. In addition, a second closable opening is disposed in the outer wall of the rotary hearth furnace in the last treatment zone. A sluice is disposed adjacent to the second closable opening and a quenching device is designed as a quenching bath and connected to the rotary hearth furnace via the sluice.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an installation for the heat-treatment of parts (2), which comprises a rotary hearth (4) that can be rotated in a timed manner and which has an outer and an inner wall (4, 5) limiting a furnace chamber that is divided up into a heating zone (6) and at least one treatment zone (7 to 9) by means of vertically movable doors (5a-5e), the outer wall (4) in the heating zone (6) being provided with a closable opening (11) for charging or discharging the furnace. The installation further comprises a transport device for transporting the parts into or out of the rotary hearth furnace and a quenching device (19). According to the invention, a second closable opening (16) is disposed in the outer wall (2) of the rotary hearth furnace (1) in the last treatment zone. A sluice (17) is disposed adjacent to said second opening (16). The quenching device (19) is designed as a quenching bath and connected to the rotary hearth furnace by means of the sluice (17).
