Hillman Barge Delivers Two Double Raked Deck Barges The Loveland 28 features Hillman heavy con- struction to transport concentrated loads. Hillman Barge & Construction Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., recently delivered two double- raked barges to the S.C. Loveland Co. of Phila- delphia, Pa. Each barge is 143 feet ninejnches by 43 feet six inches by 10 feet nine inches. Classed by the American Bureau of Shipping as Maltese Cross A-l barge with load line as- signment for unlimited ocean service, and certificated by the United States Coast Guard for ocean service, this Hillman barge design features heavy construction to transport heavy concentrated loads. The nine midbody com- partments are provided with interconnecting flooding pipes for ballasting to facilitate load- ing and off-loading operations, as well as to maintain an even trim in the event a compart- ment is accidentally holed. The stern ends are fitted with two skegs for ocean-towing. The barges are equipped with ground tackle, consisting of a hand-operated winch, wire rope, and anchor on the stern rake. These barges are one of the many types and sizes of deck barges that Hillman has designed and built for inland waterway, Gulf, and ocean service. New Corrosion Resistant Alloy Detailed In Armco Booklet An eight-page booklet is available from Armco Steel Corporation's Advanced Materials Division describing a new Armco Stainless Steel alloy that offers a combination of very high corrosion resistance and strength. The Cr-Ni-Mn alloy—Armco 22-13-5—is commercially available in bar, wire, and forg- ing billets. Its high corrosion resistance makes it especially suited for use in the petrochemical, chemical, pulp and paper, textile, food process- ing and marine industries. Typical yield strength is 65,000 psi at room temperature, along with tensile elongation of at least 40 percent. The alloy has good elevated temperature properties and excellent tough- ness at cryogenic temperatures. It remains non- magnetic after 60 percent cold reduction. Armco 22-13-5 is priced competitively with Type 316L. The alloy is fully austenitic and can be fabricated by the same techniques used on other austenitic stainless alloys. It is a stabilized alloy, which means it can be welded without a post-weld anneal. Armco 22-13-5 is recommended for use in equipment now receiving only marginal pro- tection from Types 316 and 316L stainless steel or where higher strength is required. This in- cludes pumps, valves, fittings, fasteners, cables and chains, chemical and petrochemical pro- cessing equipment, marine hardware, and cor- rosion-resistant springs.
