The difficulty in introducing purifying additives of lower specific gravity and with boiling points lower than the temperature of the molten metal to be treated, has been of long standing and up to now efficient ways of adding these additives have not been found.
One of the difiiculties resides in the fact that the additive material being lighter (at the bath temperature) than the molten metal to be treated, will remain on the surface of the bath and therefore will not reach the bulk of the material to be treated.
Attempts have been made to remedy this by securing the additive to the end of a rod and plunging it into the molten metal, thus pushing it underneath the surface thereof. This is extremely hazardous, particularly when the addi tive is one of high reactivity.
Alternatively, cored solid pieces of metal basically of the composition of the molten metal bath, and in which the cores are composed of the additive, have been used. In this case, the composite is selected sufficiently heavy to initially sink below the surface of the metal bath in the hope that it will there release the treating agent. This desideratum is not achieved. If the cored piece is open to the outside, such as an open ended tube, the major portion of the charge will have to be released by the time the piece has sunk an appreciable depth. If the cored piece is substantially closed, such as a tube with crimped or plugged ends, in which case dissolution of the body of the piece by the molten metal bath is relied upon for release of the charge, such release is effected substantially at the surface of the bath, since as the body of the composite is dissolved away by the molten metal bath, the ratio of core cavity to body of the composite reaches a point at which sinking takes place no longer. As more of the body is dissolved away, the composite rises towards the surface of the molten metal bath and by the time that sufficient of the body has been dissolved away to expose the additive, the
cartridge will have risen to substantially the bath surface.
One object of the instant invention comprises,
inter alia, an improved cartridge capable of discharging or exposing an additive at an effective treating level below the surface of a molten metal bath.
The invention will be fully understood from the following description read in conjunction with the drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section through an embodiment of my invention; and
Fig. 2 is a top view of the construction shown in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings I represents the body of the treating cartridge, which may be of any desired form. The preferred form is substantially cylindrical. A centrally located core cavity 2 of circular cross-section is provided. The conical base 3 of the core cavity may constitute as much as 10% of the volume of the cavity 2. Cavity 2 is filled with a quantity of the alkali or alkaline earth metal to be used as treating agent. This is preferably introduced in the form of a solid plug 4, filling or substantially filling the cavity 2 while leaving the conical base 3 empty to allow for the higher coefficient of expansion of the additive metal.
After this addition a pressure-retaining metal disc 6 is placed in the position shown on seat '1, at which time the metal of which the upper part of the cartridge is composed, is in the form shown in dotted outline 8 (Fig. 1), following which a suitable tool, such as a punch of an outside diameter equal to that of the recess 9, is forced into the top IQ of the cartridge, thereby forming from the sides of the recess the sealing ring I! of displaced metal bearing on disc 6.
The conical base 3 terminates in tubular duct l2, which in turn connects with orifice l3. Duct i2 and orifice I3 together form an aperture extending between cavity 2 and the outside of the cartridge 1. Orifice i3 is closed by a plug it of fusible material, preferably metal, having a melting point above the melting point :of the additive metal and preferably below the boiling point of the same. The fusible plug is adapted to release the additive metal as soon as the cartridge arrives at a temperature predetermined by the material of which the plug is composed, before the mass density of the cartridge as a whole has undergone any marked reduction due to the dissolving away of its exterior or due to its reaching a temperature approximately that of the liquid metal to be treated, and before the boiling of the additive metal can create an internal pressure which may burst the cartridge with explosive violence.
Inasmuch as there may be conditions within the charge to be treated which will operate against the uniform heating of the cartridge o which, if the cartridge lands on the bottom with the orifice l3 downwardly, might cause the cartridge to be propelled back to the surface of the melt by rocket effect, I find it advisable to provide a second fusible plug located substantially opposite the first, and for this purpose I preferably form within the disc 5 the aperture 15, which is also closed by a fusible plug ill of fusible material, preferably of metal, having a melting point above the melting point of the additive metal charge and preferably below the boiling point of the same.
In actual practice in treating iron or steel the I cartridge and disc will be formed of steel; if the additive metal is an alkali metal, the fusible plugs M and l 3; may be formed of aluminum, and if the additive metal is an alkaline earth metal, the
fusible plugs I l and It may be formed of copper.
In actual practice when treating a charge of molten copper, the cartridge and disc will be formed of copper; if the additive metal is an alkali metal the fusible plugs i l and may be formed of aluminum, and if the additive metal is an alkaline earth metal, the fusible plugs l4 and I6 may be formed of a brass having a melting point above that of the alkaline earth metal and below that of copper.
In either case the additive metal will release itself uniformly and harmlessly at a point adjacent the bottom of the charge, so that its full chemical effect is realized.
In order to assure that the treating cartridge and contents will have a specific gravity substantially in excess of that of the material of the liquid metal to be treated, and will therefore sink to the bottom before discharging its contents, the percentage volume of its core cavity,
meaning thereby both the space occupied by the plug of additive metal together with the expansion space, should be less than substantially d,d TXIOO in which (is is the specific gravity of. the metal of said cartridge when solid and dc the specific gravity of the metal of said cartridge at its freezing point when molten.
The foregoing specific description is for purposes of illustration and not of limitation and it is therefore my intention that the invention be limited only by the appended claims or their equivalents wherein I have endeavored to claim broadly all inherent novelty.
I claim:
