Patented Jan; 17, 1939 PATENT OFFICE METHOD OF SILICON- IRON ALLOYS Wilhelm Kuhn and Werner Hessenbruch, Hanan,
Germany, assignors schmelle A. G of Germany to Heraeus Vacuum- Hanan, Germany, a company No Drawing. Application August 14, 1937, Serial No. 159,194. In Germany June 27, 1936 18 Claim.
and heat-treatment have been proposed whereby.
the energy loss characteristics of the alloys are improved.
We have found, however, that the degree of purity of the silicon-iron alloy has a marked influence on the energy loss characteristics of this type of alloy, and that residual amounts of carbon, metal and metalloid oxides, dissolved and occluded gases, etc., should be eliminated from such alloys for best results and to obtain the lowest energy loss characteristics.
The present invention aims to provide a process whereby a substantially pure silicon-iron alloy may be obtained and to provide a substantially pure silicon-iron alloy having a relatively low energy loss characteristic for use in the manufacture of electrical devices. Other objects and advantages will be apparent as the invention is more fully disclosed. V
The process of the present invention consists in first forming a molten iron bath substantially free from associated metal and metalloid impurities and of carbon and of dissolved and occluded gases; secondly, in adding to the said bath the desired amount of silicon or of silicon and a second desired alloying constituent each of which has similarly been freed from associated impurities; thirdly, in solidifying the resultant alloy in such manner and under such conditions as to avoid contamination of the same. The resultant solidified silicon-iron alloy thereafter may be mechanically deformed to desired size, shape and configuration for use in said electrical devices.
by methods now known in the art, or preferably by the method described and claimed in a copending application hereinafter identified.
In the forming of a bath consisting of substantially pure iron, the following procedure is preferred:
Low carbon iron. previously purified by the best practices heretofore available, as for example, by the well known duplex processes, 'is melted in a substantially inert but slightly oxidizing'atmosphere maintained at pressures less than atmos ll pheric pressure. This melting is preferably accomplished in an electric induction furnace of the type described and claimed in either ofthe Patents Nos, 1,431,686, 1,983,242 and 2,085,450 and by methods as described and claimed ,in either of the Patents 1,555,313 and 1,555,314. The mol- 6 ten metal bath is thoroughly decarburized by introducing an oxidizing agent into or over the surface of the bath which agent does preferably not introduce into the bath any undesirable metallic or non-metallic constituent. We prefer to 10 employ a solid oxidizing agent, such as iron oxide for this decarburizing step, in which case the molten bath containing the iron oxide in an amount in excess of that empirically necessary for the complete removal of the carbon is heated under graduallyreducing pressures until no further gases can be exhausted therefrom.
The thus decarburlzed metal bath is then treated for the removal of dissolved and occluded or combined gases; particularly oxygen and nitrogen. The removal of oxygen and nitrogen is best accomplished by means of hydrogen which is itself of a high degree of purity. It is preferable to initially paw the gas into or over the surface of the molten metal bath in a relatively strong free flow, at atmospheric or slightly reduced pressures, and to subsequently heat the bath for a prolonged time interval at more elevated temperatures under gradually reducing pressures until the excess metal oxide has been completely removed and until the very lowest pressures have been obtained.
The residual oxygen and nitrogen may be eliminated instead .of or after a treatment with hydrogen by incorporating a proportion of a metallic reducing agent preferably by a readily vaporizable one in the bath. The metallic reducing agents suitable for this purpose are metals of the alkali, alkaline earth and cerium groups, magnesium and beryllium. The most satisfactory one of these reducing agents appears to be calcium and perhaps cerium. The calcium may be used as pure metal or as calcium-silicon alloy and the cerium as misch metal, a mixture of metals of the cerium group.
After the addition of this reducing agent the heating of the bath is continued again under gradually reducing pressures until the excess of the metallic reducing agent has been effectively removed from the molten metal bath.
The substantially pure molten iron bath is now ready for the addition thereto of the desired amount of silicon or of the silicon and other desired alloying metal. It is preferable to employ substantially pure silicon prepared by any of the 55 available methods. Alternatively a i'erro-silicon alloy which is substantially free from associated impurities may be employed. It is important that the silicon be substantially free from oxide and from adsorbed, dissolved or absorbed atmospheric gases, otherwise deleterious compounds of iron, silicon and oxygen, for example, will be formed in the alloy.
After the addition of the silicon to the molten iron bath, the bath should again be heated under gradually reducing pressures for a time interval adapted to thoroughly distribute the silicon throughout the bath and then should be cast and solidified under conditions calculated to prevent the absorbing therein 01' deleterious impurities. Preferably the alloy should be cast in vacuo.
The resulting solidified ingot of silicon-iron alloy should preferably be mechanically deformed to sheets of the thickness desired by the process disclosed and claimed in Hiemenz application Serial No. 88683. flied July 2, 1936, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, care being taken in the heating and rolling of the same to avoid the introduction into the alloy of deleterious amounts of oxygen and carbon and other impurities, f. i., sulphur. To this end the hydrogen utilized in the heating furnaces should be substantially free from water vapor and of nitrogen and prior to such heating the surface of the metal should be cleaned to remove surface scale and carbon lubricants.
In the manufacture of silicon-iron alloys in accordance with the present invention we have been able to make material which is characterized by an energy loss measurement as low as V1o=0.48 W/Icg, and frequently obtain material having energy losses ranging between 0.48 and 0.80 W/kg. The lowest energy loss measurements for the same material heretofore obtainable by prior methods approximates about 1.0 and the usual range is between 1.2 and 1.3. The maximum permeability for material with the same treatment is about 40,000-45,000.
We attribute the improvement as a result of the present invention to the removal of associatedmetal, and metalloid impurities from the alloy together with the substantially complete degasiflcation of the alloy,
We have found that the addition of relatively small amounts of alloying constituents such as copper, aluminium, zirconium and titanium may have a beneficial effect on. the properties of the alloy. The added copper or other alloying constituent may be added just prior to the addition of the silicon or simultaneously therewith and also must be substantially pure and free from associated metal and metalloid impurities and gases. It is undesirable to add the copper after the silicon has been added for the reason that from the time the silicon is added to the bath until the alloy is solidified the greatest care must 'be exercised to prevent oxygen from having access to the molten bath, and during the addition of the silicon the silicon and the bath must be carefully protected from oxidation.
