A green compact (17) preheated to a predetermined temperature in a heating furnace (16) is inserted into a container comprising a press table (20) and a hollow cylinder (25), and molten glass (33) is then placed into the container. The green compact (17) is uniformly pressed by a press rod (29) through the molten glass (33). The molten glass (33) is cooled by a coolant flowing through channels (22) and (26) formed in the press table (20) and the cylinder (25), whereby a solidified shell (34) is formed at the outer peripheral portion of the mass of glass. Finally, the shell (34) is taken out from the container, and the molten portion of glass (33) is transferred into a ladle (31) through a grating (30), leaving the compressed sintered product on the grating (30).

Press sintering process for green compacts and apparatus therefor

A high-hardness heat-resistant alloy comprising 13-17 wt % of Cr, 2-6 wt % of Al, 0.1-8 wt % of Mo, 1.5-3.5 wt % of B, 0.5-3 wt % of Ti, and 4-7 wt % of Co, the remaining components of the alloy being Ni and inevitable impurities. The alloy has high hardness and high strength at high temperatures and is therefore very suitable for use as a deposit or build-up welding material for exhaust valves in large low-speed diesel engines.
