A composition for coating sliding or rolling or fretting or impacting members is formed by preparing a composite powder of TiB2 and BN, with a TiBto BN ratio ranging from 1:7 to 20:1, and a metallic matrix selected from the group consisting of nickel, chromium, iron, cobalt, aluminum, tungsten, carbon and alloys thereof.

The present invention is directed to enhanced compositions that facilitate the pulling of cables through conduits. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a sufficient amount of boron nitride, which, upon application onto the cable surface, allows the cable to be pulled faster and/or with less force through the conduit than without the boron nitride present. The invention further relates to a method for pulling cables through conduits by applying an effective amount of boron nitride composition onto the cable surface. Lastly, the invention relates to an apparatus for distributing a cable-pulling composition comprising a block of boron nitride onto a cable as it is being pulled through a conduit.

A process and furnace for melting glass is set forth wherein the majority of the combustion energy over the melting zone of the furnace is provided by oxy-fuel combustion while a majority of the combustion energy over the fining zone of the furnace is provided by air-fuel combustion. In many cases, it will be preferable to provide greater than 70% and up to and including 100% of the combustion energy over the melting zone by oxy-fuel combustion and greater than 70% and up to and including 100% of the combustion energy over the fining zone by air-fuel combustion. By proper tailoring of the combustion space atmosphere through oxy-fuel and air-fuel firing, the present invention can result in an improvement in glass productivity and quality. The present invention can be applied in the construction of a new furnace or can be applied to existing air-fuel furnaces.

Oxygen-enhanced combustion in a manufacturing plant using a nitrogen plant to obtain a nitrogen product stream for use in the plant is effected by utilizing the oxygen-rich vent, waste, or exhaust stream as the primary source of oxidant for combustion of fuel in burners used to heat furnaces and the like in the same plant. Processes according to the invention employ a vent stream in place of a high purity oxygen stream for oxy-fuel combustion, oxygen lancing, and oxygen boosting.
