There is disclosed a valve comprising one valve seat ring, of a disc or a body, having a surface composed of a Cr-Mn-Fe system or a Cr-Ni-Fe system Fe-based precipitation hardening type alloy, and another valve seat ring thereof having a surface composed of a Cr-Ni system Ni-based alloy having a hardness Hv of 400 or more. The valves of this invention can have excellent wear resistance, cavitation erosion resistance and galling resistance, and since emitting no cobalt, the valves of this invention are suitable for various plants such as chemical plants, particularly nuclear power plants.

Valve

In-tube component material for an electronic tube such as a color cathode ray tube, of low thermal expansion coefficient and grain size 2,000-40,000 grains/mm.sup.2, containing Fe as the main constituent and 25-45 wt % Ni, 0.3-10 wt % Cr, and 0-10 wt % Co, and a method of manufacturing it.

Material for in-tube components and method of manufacturing it

Color picture tube in which a tube element, e.g., the shadow mask, is constituted by an Fe alloy to which 25-45 wt % of Ni and at least some Cr are added. A Cr rich layer is formed on the tube element surface and black oxide film with a spinel structure containing Cr is formed on the surface of this film.

A printing wire comprises a wire main body made of a sintered super hard alloy containing a hard alloy powder, whose major constituent is carbide powder, and a binder phase comprising at least one element selected from the group consisting of nickel and cobalt; and an alloy layer formed on the entire surface of the wire main body, which contains nickel as a major constituent and has nickel phosphide or nickel boride precipitated therein, or an alloy layer which contains cobalt as a major constituent and has cobalt phosphide or cobalt boride precipitated therein.

An actuator is arranged such that an operation stroke is obtained by a shape memory element made of a shape memory alloy member for recovering a memorized shape when the shape memory alloy member is heated, and that shape recovery control of the shape memory element is performed by Joule heat generated by a current supplied thereto. The shape memory element of this actuator has a mechanism such as conductive layers made of copper-plated layers covering part of the surface of the shape memory alloy. This mechanism decreases an electrical resistance of at least one portion of the element such that it is smaller than the electrical resistance of any other portion thereof. The conductive layers contribute to the partial shape recovery control of the shape memory element with high precision.
