Description
Patented Feb. 6, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ALLOY New Jersey No Drawing. Application January 31, 1929,
Serial No. 336,634, and in Germany February 11 Claims.
clude maximum admixtures of 25 per cent of one or several other elements, more particularly chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, copper, carbon, silicon and phosphorus. As to the last three elements; use will,
in general, only be made of quantities up to 2 per cent.
The new iron-nickel-beryllium-alloys distinguish themselves most advantageously by the fact that they can easily be rolled and are very heatresisting. They are scarcely brittle. The alloy which is first obtained when prepared according to one of the usual manufacturing processes, is relatively soft but is capable of being hardened to a high degree by a thermic treatment.
For this purpose an alloy of 88.5 per cent iron, 10 per cent nickel and 1.5 per cent beryllium was quenched in oil from 1000 C. and thereupon artificially aged ,by half an hours heating to 550 C. vIts hardness, determined as in the following example, by means of a 10 mm. ball and a loading of 3000 kg., was, before the thermic treatment, 351 Brinell, afterwards 544. A second alloy containing 71.3 per cent iron, 7.1 per cent nickel, 20.1 per cent chromium, 0.2 per: cent beryllium and 0.3 per cent manganese was quenched in oil from 950 C. and subsequently aged during an hours heating to 500 C. This thermic treatment increased the hardness of the alloy from 279 Brinell to 524.
The ternary iron-nickel-beryllium alloys hardened by a thermic treatment are considerably more heat-proof than corresponding steel alloys without beryllium and hardened by carbon. It was noted that the new alloys maintained their hardness with temperatures exceeding by several hundreds of degrees centigrade those endured by the steel-alloys mentioned above.
The new alloys present, in general, valuable magnetic properties, more particularly in the heat-treated condition. A practically carbonfree alloy of 88.3 per cent iron, 10.2 per cent nickel and 1.5 per cent beryllium was, for instance, magnetized by quenching it at 1100 C. in water and hea ing it slowly for an hour to 500 C. and it The beryllium-content is then had a magnetism which almost equalled that of tungsten-steel alloys.
By the term balance substantially nickel, balance substantially iron'etc. occurring in the claims, we mean that the alloys called for may also contain small amounts of addition metals totaling from a trace to about 25 per cent of copper, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and manganese, as well as (or) the addition of a trace to about 2 per cent of one or more of the elements carbon, silicon and phosphorus; these addition metals being insufficient in quantity to substantially alter the characteristic properties of the said alloys.
