Inert Gas Purging During Shaft Furnace Shut Down

View page
US Patent:
47954906, Jan 3, 1989
Filed:
Dec 22, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/136799
Inventors:
James H. Leckie - Huntington IN
Horace Pops - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
Essex Group, Inc. - Ft. Wayne IN
International Classification:
C22B 1500
US Classification:
75 76
Abstract:
Processes for providing an inert gas protective atmosphere during shut down periods of a copper melting shaft furnace are described. Upon shut down of the furnace, liquid nitrogen is introduced into the furnace interior and forms gaseous nitrogen upon vaporization. A two-stage process is employed with the initial introduction of liquid nitrogen at a high rate to flush out all oxygen bearing atmospheres from the furnace, followed by the introduction of liquid nitrogen at a lower rate sufficient to maintain the protective nitrogen atmosphere.

Wrought Brass Alloy Having A Low Spring Back Coefficient And Shape Memory Effect

View page
US Patent:
40147169, Mar 29, 1977
Filed:
Sep 20, 1974
Appl. No.:
5/508098
Inventors:
Amado Cabo - Pittsburgh PA
Horace Pops - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Essex International, Inc. - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
C22F 108
US Classification:
148 115C
Abstract:
An improved ternary brass alloy includes silicon as the additive material. The composition limits of the constituents of the brass are fixed by two factors: (1) the M. sub. s or Martensite transformation temperature, and (2) the brass must be a totally beta phase above 454. degree. C. The composition may be betatized, that is, heated at approximately 800. degree. C. and quenched at a fast rate so that the beta phase is retained in order to provide material having a shape memory effect, a low spring back coefficient and super elastic properties. A continuous betatizing and quenching process may be utilized in the manufacture of strip and sheet products. Alternatively, the composition may be hot worked between 600. degree. and 700. degree. C. and then cold worked to provide a material having a low spring back coefficient.

Method For Fabrication Of Brass Alloy

View page
US Patent:
40554457, Oct 25, 1977
Filed:
Nov 20, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/633580
Inventors:
Horace Pops - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
Essex International, Inc. - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
C22F 108
US Classification:
148 115C
Abstract:
An improved ternary brass alloy includes silicon as the additive material and may be fabricated to provide a beta brass or a mixed alpha plus beta brass material. The composition limits of the constituents of the beta brass are fixed by two factors: (1) the M. sub. s or Martensite transformation temperature must be determined, and (2) the brass must be a totally beta phase above 454. degree. C. The composition is betatized, that is, heated at approximately 800. degree. C. and quenched at a fast rate so that the total beta phase is retained in order to provide material having a shape memory effect, a low spring back coefficient and super elastic properties. A continuous betatizing and quenching process may be utilized in the manufacture of strip and sheet products. Alternatively, specific compositions may be cold worked to provide a material having a low spring back coefficient and other improved physical characteristics. The alpha plus beta brass includes 25% to 75% by weight beta phase mixed with alpha phase.

Oxygen Probe

View page
US Patent:
40352773, Jul 12, 1977
Filed:
Sep 15, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/723355
Inventors:
Daniel R. Hennessy - Fort Wayne IN
David M. Pierre - Fort Wayne IN
Horace Pops - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
Essex Group, Inc. - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
G01N 2746
US Classification:
204195S
Abstract:
A probe for measuring the oxygen content in a fluid, particularly a molten metal, by galvanic action. The probe assembly of the invention utilizes the thermal expansive properties of the probe components to increase the physical contact pressure between the solid electrolyte and its reference electrode so as to increase its reliability, ruggedness and lifetime.

Method For Effecting Reverse Shape Memory Phenomena In Cu-Zn-Si Brass Alloy

View page
US Patent:
40999912, Jul 11, 1978
Filed:
Oct 4, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/728975
Inventors:
Horace Pops - Fort Wayne IN
Barry C. Johnson - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Essex Group - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
C22F 108
US Classification:
148 115C
Abstract:
A method for making an integrated circuit package includes the steps of fabricating lead frames from a copper-zinc-silicon beta brass alloy and soldering the leads thereof to semi-conductor chips by use of the shape memory and reverse shape memory characteristic of the alloy. The composition of the lead frame material and the choice and sequence of fabrication steps may be varied.

Hydrogen Cleaning Of Hot Copper Rod

View page
US Patent:
48265446, May 2, 1989
Filed:
Dec 22, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/136796
Inventors:
Horace Pops - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
Essex Group, Inc. - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
C01G 2500
US Classification:
148 132
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for removing an oxide scale from the surface of a hot rolled copper rod in an in-line process. The method comprises the steps of passing the rod through a chamber containing a reducing atmosphere, the chamber being immediately adjacent to the exit end of the rod rolling mill. The rod passes through the hydrogen containing chamber while it is still hot from the rolling operation, and the reducing atmosphere reduces the oxide scale to metallic copper. After passing through the chamber, the rod is cooled in an aqueous bath and then coiled.
