Abstract:
A process for the production of steel with increased ductility in which a sulfur-containing steel melt is deoxidized and, if desired, is supplied with alloying elements, the deoxidized melt being treated with magnesium or with both magnesium and calcium as part of a purification action simultaneously reducing the sulfur content, and the reaction is carried out in a casting ladle having a lining free from siliceous oxides. The melt is covered with a synthetic slag free from siliceous oxides and the magnesium-containing substance is introduced in fine-grain particulate form into the melt in a carrier gas at a level at least 2000 mm below the melt surfade and at a rate which is less than the maximum rate at which the magnesium-containing substance is capable of reacting with the melt.
Abstract:
A cover device suitable for casting vessels or the like is constructed to have an annular edge portion connected to the vessel by spring means. The cover has also a central portion corresponding to opening of the edge portion and a locking means is provided for locking the central portion with said edge portion.
Abstract:
An improved panel support for use in partitioning display shelves which is positionable at any location along the length of the shelf without the necessity of having a supporting structure at the front edge of the shelf comprising a slotted L-shaped holder employing a bifurcated cam-shaped protrusion which is grasped by a correspondingly profiled clamping strip mounted on the shelf along which the holder may be moved.
