   Stahl und andere kohlenstoffarme   Eisensorten   können aus Gusseisen nach verschiedenen Verfahren erzeugt werden und die Herstellung der grössten Mengen derartiger Fabrikate geschieht durch den Bessemer-Prozess, nach welchem der Kohlenstoffgehalt des Eisens durch Hindurchblasen von Luft durch das schmelzflüssige Roheisen durch Oxydation entfernt wird, wobei gleichzeitig auch die Verunreinigungen mit ausgeschieden werden. Die so erhaltenen Eisensorten dienen jedoch nicht als Gussmaterial. Für diesen Zweck und insbesondere für grosse Stahlgusskörper wird das nötige Material nach dem Siemens-Martin-Verfahren hergestellt. Kleinguss wie z. B. Waggonbeschläge,   Wagenbeschläge   und dergleichen werden heute fast ausschliesslich

   Zur Vermeidung dieser   Ubelstände   ist schon versucht worden, den Kohlenstoffgehalt des Eisens in geschmolzenem wie in festem Zustande mit Hilfe   von Natriumhydroxyd   herabzusetzen. Diese Versuche haben aber ein technisch brauchbares Resultat nicht ergeben, weil das Natrium-

 Grunde die Entkohlung nicht in   geniigender   Weise stattfindet. 



   Man erreicht befriedigende Resultate unter Anwendung von Natriumhydroxyd vielmehr nur dann, wenn man das Hydroxyd in   dampfförmigem   Zustande bei einer Temperatur von za. 1100 bis 11500 anwendet, so dass es in der Lage ist. durch   Difl"m1Îon   auf den zu entfernenden Kohlenstoff des Eisens einzuwirken. 



   Das Verfahren wird in der Weise ausgeübt, dass die zu entkohlenden Gegenstände in einem schmiedeeisernen Wagen in die Retorte über einen Behälter geführt werden, welcher das Natriumhydroxyd enthält. Die Retorte wird dann geschlossen und das Ganze so stark beheizt, bis eine

   Selbstverständlich können anstelle des Natriumhydroxydes auch andere alkalische Hydroxyde, wie beispielsweise   Kaliumhydroxyd   Anwendung finden, wenn auch das Natriumhydroxyd weil es am billigsten ist, praktisch fast ausschliesslich in Betracht kommt. 



   Zur Wiedergewinnung des Natriums werden die bei der Reaktion auftretenden Dämpfe durch eine Kühlschlange in einen Behälter geleitet, der mit Ammoniak gefüllt ist, in dem sich das frei gewordene   Natrium l (ist.

 EMI1.1
 



   Steel and other low-carbon types of iron can be produced from cast iron by various processes and the production of the largest quantities of such products is carried out using the Bessemer process, according to which the carbon content of the iron is removed by means of oxidation by blowing air through the molten pig iron, and at the same time the impurities are also eliminated. However, the iron types obtained in this way are not used as casting material. For this purpose, and especially for large cast steel bodies, the necessary material is manufactured using the Siemens-Martin process. Small casting such as B. wagon fittings, wagon fittings and the like are almost exclusively today

 is limited.



   To avoid these inconveniences, attempts have already been made to reduce the carbon content of iron in both the molten and solid state with the aid of sodium hydroxide. However, these experiments did not produce a technically useful result because the sodium

 Basically the decarburization does not take place in a sufficient manner.



   Rather, satisfactory results can only be achieved using sodium hydroxide if the hydroxide is used in a vaporous state at a temperature of approx. 1100 to 11500 applies so that it is able to. to act by diffusion on the carbon to be removed from the iron.



   The method is carried out in such a way that the objects to be decarburized are carried in a wrought iron cart into the retort over a container which contains the sodium hydroxide. The retort is then closed and the whole thing heated until one

   Of course, instead of sodium hydroxide, other alkaline hydroxides, such as potassium hydroxide, can also be used, although sodium hydroxide, because it is cheapest, is almost exclusively used.



   To recover the sodium, the vapors produced during the reaction are passed through a cooling coil into a container filled with ammonia, in which the sodium released is stored.
