Title: Improvements in electro deposition of alloys
IPC: C25D3/56
Filed: 1927-10-19
Abstract: 304,354. Standard Telephones & Cables, Ltd., (Western Electric Co., Inc.). Oct. 19, 1927. Drawings to Specification. Alloys, depositing; preparing surfaces; metals, pickling.-An alloy which is of substantially uniform composition throughout is obtained by the use of an electrolyte of such composition that the cathode potentials of the constituent metals are substantially equal over the operating range of current density; at least one anode consists of one of the constituent metals. A suitable electrolyte for depositing an alloy containing 79 per cent nickel and 21 per cent iron consists of 212 gms. crystalline nickel sulphate, 22 gms. crystalline ferrous sulphate, 18 gms. crystalline nickelous chloride, 2.5 gms. crystalline ferrous chloride, 180 gms. crystalline sodium sulphate, and 25 gms. boric acid per litre of solution. The cathode potential-current density curves of such a solution with respect to iron and nickel are coincident over a considerable range. When the curves are coincident over a small range only, the current density is adjusted to work at the point of coincidence. The composition of the electrolyte is maintained constant by regulation of the proportion between the several anode surfaces and the current through each. The separate anodes may be at different potentials. With the electrolyte specified above the nickel and iron anode surfaces are in the ratio 85. 15. A temperature of 50‹ C. and a current density of 4 amps. sq. dcm. are employed. A single anode containing the components of the alloy may be used. Alternatively an anode of one metal, e.g. nickel, may be employed and a compound of the other metal or metals, e.g. ferrous hydroxide, added to the bath continuously or periodically. When detachable deposits are required a cathode of brass treated by graphitizing or by dipping in selenic acid or by cathodic treatment in ammonium molybdate solution is employed. A rotating cylindrical cathode only partially submerged may be employed, the alloy being continuously removed as a strip.

Abstract: 304,361. Hosier, A. J. Oct. 19, 1927. Cow-milkers.-In milking apparatus wherein one or more machines draw milk from the udders and means are provided for conveying the milk to an urn or other container, a cooling system, such as a nest of coils or a jacket supplied with a cooling medium, is provided to cool the milk in its passage through such conveying means. In order that the milk may flow into the container it is normally sealed and exhausted to any desired degree of vacuum. The pipe conveying the milk from the machines may pass through a water jacket and then through a brine jacket; or the milk pipe 1 may extend into the upper end of a cooling chamber 9 wherein are located coils 10, 11 cooled respectively by water and brine streams introduced at 3, 7 and leaving at 4, 8. The chamber 9 is arranged within a casing 12 detachably clamped to the upper end of a container 16 having an inlet 19 adapted to be closed from the outside by the operation of a hand-wheel 21. The container is lagged with heat-insulating material 22 and has spigots 23 to be supported by a wheeled carriage to facilitate transport. A pipe 12<1> provides for the exhaustion of the container, and as the milk leaves the chamber 9 it is filtered by the part 17. In a modified construction wherein the chamber 9 is not secured to a container, the milk is delivered from such chamber to two containers by two flexible pipes fitted with cocks, there being further cocks on the upper ends of the containers. The cold-jacket cooling system or the casing 12 may be fitted to, or attached to the end of, the milking shed set out in Specification 303,914, the pipes circulating the water and the brine being extended through the shed to an engine hut and the water pipes connected to a radiator through which air is drawn by a fan.

Abstract: 176,826. Stone & Co., Ltd., J., and Parsons, W. S. Oct. 8, 1920. Drainage.-In apparatus for the discharge of ships' sewage and other waste products or refuse such, for example, as that described in Specification 106,652, a service-water supply in a tank s which is supplied by an electrically-driven pump b is adapted to provide a pressure head sufficient to operate pressure-responsive means to start the pump for supplying water to the induced-current or like discharge apparatus. The sewage &c. is led from the various depositories, such as water closets h, bath n, and galley sink l, into a collecting-tank e, or direct to the discharge apparatus c. When the tank e is sufficiently full, a diaphragm u<1> in a chamber connected with the tank opens a valve t which supplies the service water to a pilot valve w for opening the main discharge valve, and thence bv the pipe z to a diaphragm-operated switch 2, 5 to start the motor of the pump b. When the tank is discharged, the diaphragm u<1> descends and closes the valve t, which results in the opening of the switch 2, 5 and the stopping of the pump. The same cycle of operation may be arranged to take place when the cover l<3> of the galley sink is raised and a valve l<2> connected therewith opened, or when the water in the service tank falls below a certain level by reason of a ball cock s<6> which is arranged to open under such a condition, or when a valve, such as s<8>, is opened by hand or indirectly by the closet seats, or the footboard of a urinal or the like. The service tank may be supplied by an independent pump and the valve l<2>, connected to the galley sink cover, arranged to flush the sink when the cover is lifted.
