(Origin January, 1975) * 2) Project Status #685 Copperweld - Thermex increased penetration and is giving at least equal results at lesser cost, according to customer and sales reports. The revised tool which is needed to improve Foseco's position was ordered in May. #800 Kaiser Steel - We have reverted to asbestos-bearing Profax 10 in order to obtain much-needed sales dollars. Kaiser yield test results on the EP 5672Pare reported as "not too good". Actual metallurgical results are awaited. Seal-On Rings are being made in an "almost asbestos-free" recipe in Chicago, but Cleveland Is still unable to make production runs on the Mark IV machine. B. New Seal-On Programs 1) Objectives. Scope, and Potential Impact To design, plan, and follow-up the various Seal-On Programs. (Origin January, 1975) 2) Project Status #985 - 25" sq. U.S.S. - Gary - Apart from some problems with undercured rings which were difficul t to handle inthemill, this program continues and should improve when business picks up. #737 - 33" sq. Bethlehem - Lackawanna - We now have two full drags of castings - a total of 64. Some serious leaker problems are believed to be due to a combination of poor quality Chicago rings and mis-fitting side boards. Corrective action was taken. On the other ingot size (#1160) Ferro got the first 4 test castings but Foseco will get the next ` four. ~ -h #453 - 34" sq. Republic Chicago continues as one of the most promising current accounts and an Increased share of business is being pursued.
