Abstract

518,089. Malleable iron. BRITISH FURNACES, Ltd. (Surface Combustion Corporation). Aug. 15, 1938, No. 24001. [Class 72] In the production of malleable iron in which the iron is first heated up to a temperature above the critical, e.g., 1,600-1,750‹F., held at that temperature for a sufficient time to bring about the first stage annealing and then cooled to a temperature in the neighbourhood of the critical point and held there to produce graphitizing, the iron is surrounded during the heating up period and for an additional period of 1-10 hours during the first stage by an atmosphere of carburizing gas, and then completing the annealing for graphitizing in an atmosphere of decarburizing gas. The carburizing gas may comprise fuel gas such as natural or city gas or a mixture of such gas and flue gas and the decarburizing gas, flue gas. If the carbon content of the iron being treated is 2.3 per cent. of over, the composition of the flue gas is adjusted so that it contains a small proportion of oxygen in addition to carbon dioxide.
