PATENTS GRANTED In the Metal Finishing Field Printed copies of patents are furnished by the Patent and Trademark Office for $3.00 each. Address orders to: Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, Washington, D.C. 20231.

Waste Treatment U.S. Pafenf5,380,441. Jan. fU, 1995 RF: 7Mmfon, assignor to General Electric Co., Schenscfady, N. Y.

A method for removing hexavalent chro mium from an electrochemical machining solution, which comprises adding an ex- cess of a stoichiometric amount of metallic iron particles to the electrochemical ma- chining solution to react with the hexava- lent chromium to produce trivalent chro- mium; mechanically agitating the metallic iron particles in the electrochemical ma- chining solution with a sufficient amount of energy to insure that surfaces of the iron particles are free of insoluble precipitates

selected from the group consisting essen- tially of iron hydroxide and chromium hy- droxide; main taining pH with an acid be- tween 2 and 7 until the hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent chromi- um; and then adjusting the pH with a base to precipitate the trivalent chromium.

Etching Process U.S. Pafenf5,380,408. Jan. 10, 1995 R. Svensson, assignor to Sandvik AS, Sandviken, Sweden

A method for removing a layer of binder phase formed on the surface of a hard material insert containing hard constituents in a binder phase based on cobalt and/or
