摘要:
Method for producing a magnetic steel strip having a thickness of less than 5 mm and containing, in composition by weight, more than 2% silicon, less than 0.1% carbon and a suitable amount of secondary recrystallization inhibiting elements, the balance being iron, obtained by a direct casting on one roll or between two rolls, characterized in that it comprises creating a crystallization structure comprising oriented grains {110} in the skin, i.e. on the surface of a quench zone, by the sudden cooling of the steel in contact with the roll or rolls whose surface temperature is lower than 400.degree. C.
摘要:
The oxidation resistance of a superalloy casting such as an equiaxed, directionally solidified, or single crystal casting, is improved by melting, pouring, or casting the alloy so as to react with a magnesium or calcium-bearing ceramic material. Magnesium or calcium is introduced into the alloy through a controlled reaction between the alloy and the magnesium or calcium-bearing ceramic material.

A casting mold includes an ingate for engaging an underlying source of the melt, an upstanding alloyant-containing reaction chamber having an upper region communicated to the ingate, and an exit gate communicating a lower region of the reaction chamber to a mold cavity. The mold and the source of a melt are relatively moved to engage the ingate and the source. A sufficient relative vacuum is applied to the mold cavity to draw the melt from the source upwardly through the ingate and into the reaction chamber where the melt reacts with alloyant therein. The melt is drawn upwardly to leave at least a portion of the volume of the mold cavity unfilled with melt and to provide a sufficient volume of melt in the reaction chamber to fill the unfilled volume of the mold cavity after disengagement of the mold and the source. The mold and the source are then relatively moved to disengage the ingate and the source while a relative vacuum is applied to the mold cavity sufficient to draw the volume of melt in the reaction chamber into the mold cavity such that the unfilled volume thereof is filled after the mold and the source are disengaged. The reaction chamber is thereby essentially emptied of melt as required to fill the unfilled volume of the mold cavity. The melt in the ingate is drained back to the underlying source when the mold and the source are disengaged.

A casting mold (e.g., a cope and drag) is disposed on a drag slab having a sprue and a reaction chamber containing an alloyant to be selectively introduced into the melt as it is drawn through the reaction chamber during differential pressure, countergravity casting. A rubber formed between the mold and the drag slab communicates the reaction chamber to a plurality of narrow mold ingates that supply the melt treated (alloyed) in the reaction chamber to the mold cavity during countergravity casting.

Molten iron is cast into a mould through a filter located in the runner system of the mould using a filter comprising a body having a plurality of cells, at least some of the cells having their walls at least partially coated with a first layer of wax and a second layer of an inoculant, such as graphite, calcium silicide or ferrosilicon, for the iron.
摘要:
Apparatus and method for the differential pressure, countergravity casting of a melt of molten metal, such as nodular iron, containing a fugative alloyant, such as a magnesium nodularizing agent, susceptible to rapid loss from the melt over time wherein a source of the alloyant is so disposed on a lower portion of each mold as to contact the melt and replenish the alloyant content thereof when the lower mold portion of each mold is immersed in the melt for casting. An effective level of alloyant is thereby maintained in the melt throughout the casting of a plurality of molds in succession from the melt.
摘要:
A charge of melt in an amount sufficient to cast only one mold is admitted to a casting basin from a melt-holding chamber. A casting mold is immersed in the freshly admitted charge and the charge is countergravity cast into the mold by establishing a suitable differential pressure between the mold and the charge. After casting, insufficient charge is left in the casting basin to cast the next mold whereupon the casting basin is supplied with the next fresh charge of the melt for casting the next mold. In this way, a fresh charge of melt is cast into each mold in a series of molds. Each charge of melt may be treated (e.g. nodularized) in-situ in the casting basin such that each mold is filled with a freshly treated (nodularized) charge of melt having an effective concentration of the alloyant therein.
摘要:
A filter for molten metal with a particulate coating for simultaneously metallurgically treating and filtering is disclosed. A layer of particulates such as ferroalloy, deoxidizer, grain refiner, inoculant or master alloy is placed on the surface of a hard-fired ceramic or refractory cloth filter for treating liquid metal. The particles are held in place by a coating of carbonaceous resin which is applied to the surface of the filter and which also protects the filter and particles against abrasion and moisture. The placement of the particulate additives on the filter allows the molten metal to be metallurgically treated and filtered simultaneously.

A method is disclosed which comprises: (a) forming a ferrous alloy melt consisting essentially of by weight, 3-4% carbon, 2.0-3.0% silicon, 0.1-0.9% manganese, up to 0.02% phosphorus, up to 0.002% sulphur, up to 1% contaminants or impurities, 0-0.4% molybdenum, 0-3.0% nickel or copper, and the reminder essentially iron, the melt being subjected to a graphite modifying agent in an amount and for a period of time effective to form either ductile or semiductile iron upon solidification; (b) heat treating the solidification of said melt by austempering to form a matrix consisting substantially of high carbon austenite and ferrite and a cell boundary having unreacted low carbon austenite; (c) heating said austempered iron to a pearlite forming temperature (1200.degree.-1300.degree. F.) and holding (2-5 minutes) at said temperature to permit the unreacted low carbon austenite to form pearlite; and (d) cooling said heat treated iron to room temperature.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for the production of materials such as steel, in which the different components are "interwoven" in such a manner that solid state materials are fed into a matrix, which is still in a liquid state for casting and that the mix, respectively, the conglomerate, formed in this manner, is made to freeze or stabilize and, afterwards, the cast structure is processed by conversion and/or heat treatment. In this manner, it is possible to, for example, store particularly hard, i.e., extremely hard ingredients as those used, for example, in the hardest armoured steel, in the form of particles, that is solid bodies in a softer, tougher matrix. In this manner, on the one hand, the welding ability of the composite can be substantially improved and, on the other hand, it is possible to exclude the otherwise common cracking sensitivity of particularly hard special steels because the softer, tougher matrix prevents the expansion of the crack in the structure.
