A rotary device for dispersing gas in molten metal comprises a hollow shaft and a hollow rotor attached to the shaft, the rotor having a plurality of vanes extending from the shaft towards the periphery of the rotor and dividing the rotor into a plurality of compartments, each compartment having an inlet adjacent the shaft and an outlet adjacent the periphery of the rotor, and the rotor having means for passing gas from the discharge end of the shaft into the compartments, wherein the discharge end of the shaft opens into a manifold in the rotor and the inlets for the compartments are present in the wall of the manifold. When the device is rotated in molten metal contained in a vessel and gas is passed down the shaft, metal is drawn into the manifold and breaks up the gas stream emerging from the shaft into very small bubbles. The gas/metal dispersion flows into the compartments through the inlets and out through the peripheral outlets and the gas is dispersed through the whole body of molten metal.

Metallurgical treatment agents for molten ferrous metals e.g. iron and steel and suitable for e.g. desulphurizing molten iron and steel comprise particulate magnesium coated with a first coating of a hydrophobic compound and a second coating of a particulate refractory material. The coated magnesium possesses improved flowability and is less prone to premature reaction when subjected to a high temperatures. The hydrophobic compound provides the magnesium with enhanced protection against hydration than may be obtained by a refractory coating alone.
摘要:
This invention concerns samplers used for sampling molten metals and comprises a metal mold which is encased in a non-reactive refractory material and located in a slot in the end of an immersion tube engaged within the encasing material, the tube having at least an outer layer of non-reactive refractory material. Further the non-reactive material will provide a glass or glass-like outer surface layer thereto during use.
摘要:
A method and apparatus provide for the determination of the rate-of-rise of the level of a liquid, such as molten metal in a mold, in a reliable, accurate, and flexible manner. Molten metal passes from a container through an adjustable valve in an orifice to a mold. A microwave generator is connected to a microwave antenna located above the mold for transmitting microwaves to the surface of the molten metal in the mold. A mixer/detector is operatively connected to the antenna, and a computer is operatively connected to the mixer/detector. The computer processes the mixed signal received from the mixer/detector after it is converted to a digital signal. This digital signal is responsive to the Doppler signal caused by change in the level of the metal in the mold. The rate-of-rise of the surface of the molten metal is calculated in response to the digital signal, and is displayed on a monitor. The slide gate is controlled to adjust the amount of molten metal flowing from the container to the mold to achieve a desired rate-of-rise. The computer uses various techniques, such as calculating rolling averages and optimizing maxima-to-maxima and minima-to-minima time interval calculations, to improve reliability in the presence of noise, spurious multiple reflections, and disturbances in the molten metal surface.

Fluxes for use in the casting of metals e.g. steel comprise granules containing carbonaceous powder in which the proportion of carbonaceous powder in the surface of the granules is greater than the overall proportion of carbonaceous powder in the granules. The fluxes are particularly suitable for use in the continuous casting of steel.
摘要:
Vermicular graphite cast iron is produced by adding to molten iron simultaneously up to 0.3% by weight of the iron of one or more rare earth metals and in excess of 0.2% by weight of the iron of calcium the quantity of rare earth metal being within the range of 2 to 8 times the sulphur content of the molten iron.The rare earth may be added for example as cerium, mischmetall or as rare earth silicide. The calcium may be added for example as calcium metal or as calcium silicide or a nickel-calcium alloy. An alloy containing both rare earth and calcium, such as a calcium-cerium-silicon alloy, or a composition containing rare earth, calcium and a fluxing agent may also be used.

A foundry sand composition which comprises particulate sand, aqueous sodium silicate as binder and an alkylene carbonate as hardener and which after use for moulds and/or cores in metal casting can be reclaimed for reuse by an attrition process contains before use no more than 11% by weight of alkylene carbonate based on the weight of aqueous sodium silicate and during the reclamation process has a residual moisture content of less than 0.8% by weight as determined by loss on ignition on 550.degree. C.
摘要:
Flammable foundry coatings are disclosed in which the carrier liquid is safer to handle than previously used types e.g. isopropanol, and which also burns off more satisfactorily. The carrier liquid is a mixture of an essentially aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid of flash point greater than 32.degree. C., e.g. an aliphatic petroleum distillate, and a mono alkyl ether of a polyhydric alcohol, e.g. ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (oxitol).
