Title: Method of providing an object of silicon steel with an electrically insulating coating
Inventor: AKERBLOM C A
IPC: C23C24/00
Filed: 1972-06-13
Abstract: 1391827 Enamelling silicon steel ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AB 13 June 1972 [14 June 1971 5 May 1972] 27543/72 Heading C1M [Also in Divisions B2 and C7] A method of providing an object of silicon steel with a heat-resistant, electrically insulating coating comprises applying a vanadium compound (other than an alkali metal vanadate) and particles of at least one compound selected from an oxide, hydroxide or a carbonate of an alkaline earth metal, or an oxide or a hydroxide of aluminium and thereafter subjecting the coated article to heating at a temperature of at least 850 C. The heating may be performed in a nitrogen or hydrogen atmosphere. The alkaline earth metal is preferably magnesium. The vanadium compound may be vanadium (V) oxide, an alkaline earth metal vanadate, an aluminium or titanium vanadate, ammonium vanadate or a vanadium acid. Vanadium (V) carbide may also be used. A quantity of vanadium compound which stoichiometrically corresponds to a quantity of vanadium (V) oxide of 0À001-10 gm./m.<SP>2</SP> of the surface of the object is sufficient. The total quantity of alkaline earth metal compound or aluminium compound together with the vanadium compound, calculated as vanadium (V) oxide is 3-30 gm./m.<SP>2</SP> of the surface of the object. The vanadium compound and the other component may be applied in the form of an aqueous suspension or as a dry powder. The slurry may also be applied by means of spraying. When used in sufficient amounts the vanadium compound oxidises silicon in the silicon steel with grain orientation so that it reacts with the alkaline earth metal or aluminium compound to form glass. The silicon content of silicon steel with grain orientation is about 3% by weight. The thickness of the glass film formed is usually 0À1-10 microns. The particle size of the alkaline earth metal compound or aluminium compound is desirably less than 250 microns, whilst the vanadium compound, if in granular form, preferably has a grain size of 1-25 microns. Examples refer to the treatment of silicon with mixtures of either magnesium oxide, magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide (e.g. 98-99 parts) with vanadium oxide (e.g. 1-2 parts) or a mixture of magnesium oxide (98 parts) and magnesium vanadate (2 parts). In an appartus for use in applying the protective layer a strip of silicon steel 1 passes under a roller 3 which rotates in a pan 4 containing the slurry 5 of the particulate meterial. The coated strip passes between wiping rollers 6 and 7 and then into a furnace 8 where it is dried at about 100 C. The coil is wound on to a reel 11 before heating in a batch annealing furnace.

Title: Improvements in or relating to magnetic separators

Filed: 1924-11-18
Abstract: 237,150. Rushen, P. C., (Krupp Grusonwerk Akt.-Ges., F.). Nov. 18. 1924. Magnetic separators.-In a magnetic separator of the type in which the material is acted on by a series of poles of alternate polarity co-operating with a common armature, the alternate poles are magnetically connected to opposite ends of a common core and all co-operate with the same surface of the common armature. One set of poles 3 are cast in one with the core 2 excited by a coil 1, the other set 5 being arranged between the poles 3 and carried by a frame 4 mounted on the core 2. The common armature comprises a plate or disc 6 and rings 7, and is carried by a rotary vertical shaft on which it may be adjustable vertically. The material to be separated is fed to a hopper 8 and flows radially over the cone 9 and the guides 10 to the spaces between the poles and the rings 7 set at progressive heights relatively to the poles. The non-magnetic material passes to a box 11 and the magnetic material drops between the poles. In a modification, Figs. 5 and 6, the poles 3 are staggered relatively to the other poles 5 so that together they form successive poles, a fixed armature 12, under which runs a conveyer belt 13, being arranged over every two poles. The material to be treated is fed into hoppers 14 and is fed therefrom into the space between the armature and each pole, the magnetic material being carried by the belt and dropped into boxes 15 between the poles, the non-magnetic material passing transversely to the direction of the motion of the belt into boxes 16. The poles may be arranged to be in one series and form successive or consecutive poles.

Abstract: 701,506. Circular looms; transferring weft to shuttles. COOPER, H. J. Oct. 24, 1950 [Oct. 31, 1949), No. 27798/49. Class 142(2) In a circular loom as described in Specification 592,469. a coil of weft sufficient for one pick is transferred to each shuttle as it crosses a gap in the warp. Transferring weft to shuttles, Fig. 4. A rotatable bobbin 3, covered with pile fabric and permanently mounted in the shuttle, receives a coil of weft as it travels through a coiler 29 placed in its -path; pushers 4 on the shuttle slide the coil off a circle of pins 32 on to the bobbin 3. Coiling weft. Each coiler 29 comprises a ring having a gap (at the bottom, Fig. 4) to allow the mounting 2 of the bobbin 3 to pass through it. Each coiler (of which there are ten) is carried by an arm 13 driven by a rotating plate 11, to which it is coupled by an arm 15 and a link (not shown); the arm 15 is rocked by a shaft 14 having an arm 19 engaging a cam track 27, the arrangement being such that the coiler arm 13 dwells at four positions. At these positions, cams 62, 65 on the driving plate 11 (owing to movement of the plate 11 relative to the stationary arm 13) operate on levers 60, 64, acting through plungers 46, 53, to cause the coiler 29 to swing about a pivot 70 or to rotate about the axis of winding mechanism W, as required; the winding mechanism is actuated by rolling round a stationery gear 59. At the first dwell, Fig. 5, the end of a weft thread, stretched between the eye 93 and the clamp 94 of a weft feeder described in Specification 701,522, is inserted under a clamping jaw 66 on the coiler 29; at the second dwell, which is reached when sufficient weft for a pick has been coiled on the pins 32, winding is stopped; the third dwell allows the shuttle to take the weft from the coiler. which has meanwhile been swung about the.pivot 70 in the position shown in Fig. 4; at the fourth dwell, the coiler 29 is brought concentric with the winding mechanism in readiness for the next cycle. Entanglement of the various wefts running from the feeders to the coilers is prevented by hooks 107 on a rotating disc 106. After a shuttle has taken a coil partway into the shed, the thread is cut above the clamp 94, Fig. 51.
