Abstracts 323--331 37 22 323 An Omegraton Mass Spectrometer and its Characteristics An omegatron with noble-metal electrodes is described, which can be given a constant sensitivity to within 10 per cent by the application of a statable electrostatic field The sensmvity is not even affected by the action of corrosive gases and vapours, such as H20, CO2 and CH4, over long periods, and is reproducible from omegatron to omegatron as long as the dimensions are kept constant A comparison of the lomzatlon probabd~ty given in the literature with that calculated from the cahbration curve of the omegatron shows that nearly all the resonance ions formed by the electron beam reach the ion collector The adjustment of the operating data, needed to achieve thin cond~tton ~s in general independent of the mass Some characterlst~cs of the omegatron are described (Authors) A Klopfer and W Schmldt, Vacuum, 10, 363-372, 1960 37 41 43 324. Vacuum Treatment of Molten Steel--a New Way of Improving Converter Steel Production A M Samarm and L M Novik, Vacuum, 9, 134-138, 1959 37 325. Purification of Tantalum Obtained by Vacuum Arc Melting The purest commercmlly avadable tantalum powder was consohdated by a single, vacuum, consumable-arc melting operation yielding ingots of considerably higher purity than the original powder Interstitial and metalhc impurity analyses are presented for a large number of heats made under consistent cond~hons of ingot and electrode size, arc current, and furnace pressure The effect of carbon addition to an oxygen-rich starting material was investigated, and the optimum carbon-oxygen ratio for maximum refinement has been located approximately Under favorable conditions, the oxygen content is reduced by approximately one order of magmtude (Author) M L Torh, J Electrochem Soc, 107, 33-35, January 1960
