Sintering of Cr, Mn and Si bearing steels has recently attracted both experimental and theoretical attention and processing in semiclosed containers has been reproposed. This paper brings together relevant thermodynamic data and considers the kinetics of some relevant chemical reactions. These involve iron and carbon, water vapour, carbon monoxide and dioxide, hydrogen and nitrogen of the sintering atmospheres and the alloying elements Cr, Mn, Mo and Si. The paper concludes by presenting mechanical properties data for three steels sintered in local microatmosphere with nitrogen, hydrogen, nitrogen-5% hydrogen and air as the furnace gas.

Abstract Blending of elastomers is often used to enhance he performance characteristics of rubber products. This article reviews the thermodynamic principles underlying polymer-polymer miscibility, with special reference to elastomer blends. It discusses the distribution of fillers, additives and curatives in different phases of the blend and its effect on the properties of the vulcanizate. It describes the different methods used in preparing elastomer blends, with special emphasis on compatibilization. Characterization of blends using optical and electron microscopy, solution properties, thermal and dynamic mechanical methods have been described along with results. The effect of blending on mechanical properties, hysteresis, adhesion and tack, transport properties and electrical conductivity has been discussed. Past attempts for property enhancement by blending elastomers have been reviewed, followed by a discussion of commercial application of elastomer blends.

Worn or over-machined parts may be restored to size by electrodeposition of nickel or chromium followed by machining or grinding to remove excess of deposit. The mechanical properties and the adhesion of these deposits are described with special reference to nickel. It is shown that strongly adherent nickel coatings can contribute appreciably to the tensile strength of the steel upon which they are deposited. Electrodeposited coatings may reduce the fatigue strength of steel and their use on parts subject to high alternating stresses should be made with caution. General notes on the process are given for the guidance of users.
