Description

tive quantities as follows Patented 1.1, 7-, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HORACE CAMPBELL HALL, 01E LITTLEOVER, DERBY, AND TENNYSON FRASER BRAD- BURY,. OF DERBY, ENGLAND, ASSIG-NORS TO ROLLS ROYCE LIMITED, OF DERBY,
ENGLAND ALUMI U ALLOY No Drawing. Application filed September 30, 1930, Serial No. 485,548, and in Great Britain October 1, 1920.
This invention is a modification of the invention described in application for Letters Patent Serial No. 401,970, now Letters Patent No. 1,782,300, of November 30, 1930, and the 51 modification thereof described in our concurrentapplication'serial No. 485,547 of the date of this application. In thesaid application forLetters Patent we have described an alloy compounded of the elements in the rela- Per cent of the whole Copper 0.5 to 5.0 Magnesium 0.1 to 1.7 Nickel; 0.2 to 1.5 Iron; 0.6 to 1.5 Silicon exceeding 0.55 to 2.8 Titanium up to 0.3 Manganese; up to 0.3 Aluminium the remainder Only traces'of other elements.
In our concurrent application of the date of this application Serial No. 485,547 we have described a modification of the said alloy in which the magnesium content exceeds 0.03 per cent but does not exceed 0.10 per cent. Alloys falling within the saidranges are herei'nafter called the said alloys. 1
Since the date of our said application we have discovered that the castings of the said alloys are more free from scum and pin holes, particularly on the upper surface, if a small quantity -of metallic sodium not exceeding 0.01 per cent of the alloy to be treated is plunged into the alloy when in a molten condition, and preferably immediately before the latter is poured into the mould. This process has the effect of cleaning and de-oxidizing the alloy.
dium is as follows: We take a small quantity of metallic sodium (not exceeding the aforesaid limit) and in order to'delay the oxidization of the sodium as long as possible wrap it ina piece of sheet aluminium or aluminium foil, and so wrapped plunge it into the molten alloy, and hold it below the surface thereof until it is diffused. The bulk ofthe sodium so added is lost. through burning at the moment of immersion, and through the fluxing The preferred method of applying the soand deoxidizing effect 'on the alloy, and only traces of 1t are left in the castings. We are aware that it has previously been proposed to modify the structure of aluminium alloys by the addition thereto of metallic sodium, but the proposals have been to add the sodium in quantities considerably larger than that which we use (namely not exceeding 0.01 per cent of the alloy to be treated) which is insufficient to affect the structure of the alloy but yet is suflicient to eifect the advantages before described.
What we claim is 1. As a process in making a casting of the following metals, to wit:
Only traces of other elements.
before pouring the molten alloy into the mould, plunging into it a small quantity of metallic sodium not exceeding 0.01 per cent of the alloy to be treated.
2. A process as claimedv in claim 1 the metallic sodium being plunged into the molten alloy immediately prior to the latter bein poured into the mould.
3. A process as claimed in claim 1 the metallic sodium being held under the surface of the molten alloy until diffused. i
In testimony whereof we have hereunto aflixed our signatures. I
