3 Claims. (01.75-129) This invention relatesto a method oi addin lead to steel. It has to do primarily with that class of steel which is generally, referred to as free cutting," "free machining or screw-stock" steel. However, it is not necessarily limited to this class of steel and has to do with any type of steel which'is to operations.
As disclosed in my Patent No. 2,182,758, issued December 5, 1939, I have found that the introduction of lead into steel and the retention thereof in percentages ranging from .03 to 1.0 per cent greatly improves the machinability oithe steel. This is particularly truewhen more than .10 per cent lead is retained in the steel. This is true whether or not the lead be introduced into the so called free cutting steels or whether it be used in other types of steels. When introduced'into the free cutting steels in proper percentages, it results in an improved machinability over and above the free cutting characteristics imparted to the steel by the sulfur and, in addibe subjected to machining structures are characteristic of. these lead-bearing steels of improved machinability.
- In introducing lead into molten steel, it has been found that when lead is introduced on top of a bath of molten steel, in blocks of substantial size, the lead frequently settles directly to the bottom of the bath so that only a very small proportion thereof is dispersed throughout the bath and the major portion of the introduced lead is ultimately found on the bottom of the container. Likewise, if the lead is introduced in the form of "chunks" or particles which are unduly large,
I settles to the bottom of the container.
tion, does not impair the mechanical characteristics of the steel. When used, in adequate percentages, with steels of relatively low sulfur con-.
tent as, for instance, in steels containing less than .05 per cent sulfur, it imparts improved machinability characteristics and, in some instances, gives free cutting characteristics which compare favorably with machinability characteristics of some of the present commercial free cutting steels.
This application is a continuation in. part of my copending applications Serial 'No. 205,364,-

however, that the lead containing steels, produced in accordance with my invention, have certain micro-structures which can be brought, out by metallographlc technique and that these these chunks or particles either settle individually to the bottom of the container or they combine to form a more or less single mass which also I Similarly, if the lead is placed in a container, even though the lead is in particle form, and dropped.
into a molten bath of steel, it will immediately agglomerate and sink to the bottom of the container. Apparently, the lead, once having settled to the bottom of the container, remains there as a separate metal layer and is not materially distributed throughout the bath. As a result the thereof and have found such methods to be highly advantageous. I'have found that it is desirable to introduce the lead into the molten steel in the form of a lead compound or lead alloy in order to obtain adequate dispersion oi solution in the steel. Consequently, the additional element or elements should be either soluble in the steel or have a lower boiling point than the lead or both. I have found that with a compound or an alloy of the type indicated, higher initial dispersion of the lead is obtained than with metallic leadoi a similar particle size and apparently is due to the fact that when the compound or alloy is added to the molten steel, it is immediately .decomposed so that the lead in its nascent or at least finely divided form is liberated and the additional element or elements either goes into solution in the molten steel or is liberated as a gas. when the particles of lead compound or lead alloy are broken up, as indicated, the remaining lead particles will be extremely small, will "have a lower surface tensionand will be easily and quickly dispersed. Furthermore,
the lead compound or alloy will be of a lower specific gravity than metallic lead and will not have as much tendency to agglomerate and sink -to the bottom of the container.
.It is desirable that the molten steel be agitated at or after the time of adding. the lead in order to obtain effective dispersion of the lead. If a compound or .alloy is used which is of such a llzes, the gases which are freed will produce agitation'of the bath and tend to increase the disper-' sion of the lead. If the alloy or compound is of sucha nature that one or more of the additional elements goes into solution in thesteel, this provides a way for introducing an additional element or elements into the steelsimultaneously with the introduction of lead into the steel.. 1
have also found that when a compound or alloy is. used instead of metallic lead, a relatively higher recovery of the lead is obtained.

For example, I have found it quite desirable to introduce lead into the molten steel bath as'a constituent of the mineral g'alena (BbS with approximately 86.6 per cent Pb and 13.4 per cent 8) It is very desirable to use galena or other forms of lead sulfide for the purpose of introducing sulfur into-the steel simultaneously with the introduction of the lead. When added to the steel galena or lead sulfide is decomposed by the iron into iron sulfide and lead. The sulfur going into solution in the iron leaves the lead in nascent form or at least finely divided form and in extremely intimate contact with the molten steel. Therefore, the lead will be quickly and electively dispersed; The sulfur will be added to the steel and will cooperate with the lead in produc-. ing a steel having improved machining proper-.

particles may be quickly and effectively dispersed.
I have also employed lead phosphate for in troducing the lead into the molten steel. When the lead phosphate is added to themolten steel,
"the phosphorus goes into solution in the steel while the lead -is-freed. This provides a means for adding phosphorus to the steel.
Various other compounds may be used in introducing the lead into the steel. .It is necessary that these compounds consist of lead and one or more additional elements which will either go into solution in the molten steel or will vole-7. tilize or both leaving the lead in the steel in its nascent or at least finely divided form so that it' may b quickly and effectively dispersed therein.

The lead compound or alloy may be added to the molten steel in finely subdivided form or relatively small "chunks or particles. Thecompound or alloy may be in the form of buck shot or "B. 13. shot. It is preferably in finely divided form ranging-from 10 to 50 mesh. As previously stated, it is preferably added to the molten steel and the steel is agitated at or after the time of adding it either by chemical means or by mechanical means, or both. The compound or alloy is added inan unconfined state and is gradually introduced into the molten steel.
It has been demonstrated that lead can be 1 added to steel by all of the above addition agents, I and recoveries in the range of 15 to 64 per cent influence on the amount of lead retained in the steel but this relation has not been determined in a definite way. As will be shown hereinafter, lead has been added to steels of quite a range in chemical composition.

When lead is added in such amounts as 0.80 to 1.5 per cent it has been noted that there is a' tendency for some of the -the steel can be materially increased above the value of 0.53 per cent mentioned above.
The addition of lead to relatively high'sulfur steel of about020 per' cent sulfur and relatively Y low sulfur steel of about 0.03 per cent sulfur has also been studied and it appears that there is no I have also used many alloys for 'introducing 16 essential difference in the amount of lead retained in the steel or in the relative amount recovered. It .was found that the addition of lead to steels containing either a low percentage or a high percentage of sulfur definitely improved the'machinability.
Lead has been added to steels of 0.80 and 1.35 per cent manganese contents and essentially the same recoveries and the same improvements in machinability obtained. Likewise, lead has been added to steels of 0.05 and 0.25 per cent silicon contents with no apparent differences in the amount of lead recovered or in its effect on ma chinability.
My researches have shown that the lead may be added at different stages in the making of the steel. i 1
Lead in compound-or alloy form has been added to the molten charge in a high frequency induction furnace which results in some agitation of the bath. It has also been added to the or from a larger ladle. While the lead might be added with the charge to the open hearth furnace,'for example, it is not preferred to add it in this way because of the danger of the lead melting early and attacking the refractory materials of the furnace. After the steel is melted.
the lead may beadded with less danger of attacking the refractories of the furnace.
Preferred methods of adding the lead are:
To add a compound of lead or a lead alloy to.
vantageous to use lead compounds or lead alloy:
in introducing the lead into the steel. merely necessary thatthe leadalloy or the lead compound be of such a nature that the elementor elements in addition to the lead will volatilize or will, go into solution in the molten steel or both.
would be diflicult to' add the lead and sulfur in the small ingot mold. Also it is desirable to use y ladle as the steel was tapped from the furnace other lead compounds and/or lead alloys when producing steel with an electric furnace and in other instances.
. Various other advantages will be apparent from the preceding description and the following claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
