Definitions
- This invention relates to a composite carbonaceous member for surfacing furnace conveyor units or the like. More particularly, this invention pertains to a composite carbon-and-metal member to supportably engage metal work in strip, sheet and/or plate form at elevated temperatures and in varying furnace atmospheres while inhibiting development of the so-called pickup phenomenon, undue Wear and untimely breakdown of such surfacing member.
- This application is in part a continuation of my abandoned application Serial No. 571,474, filed March 14, 1956.
- furnace rolls are being successfully used for that purpose with work-supporting portions of carbon in the presence of substantially non-oxidizing vor inert controlled atmospheres in the furnace as shown in my Patent Nos. 2,603,578 and 2,772,872.
- a furnace atmosphere is strongly reactive with respect to carbon (as, for example, when the dew point of such atmosphere is high)
- it has been discovered that such carbon tends to react to form a gas with corresponding disappearance of solid phase carbon, undue wear and untimely breakdown of the roll surface in some cases. That in turn limits the trouble-free period of operation in the furnace and increases maintenance expense and replacement cost.
- FIGURE 1 is a view of a furnace roll, partly in section through the axis of said roll, embodying my invention
- FIGURE 2 is a section of said roll taken along the line IIII of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a partial and sectional view of a roller hearth in a furnace in which such rollers are provided with composite carbonaceous work-engaging members made in accordance with my invention
- FIG-URE 4 is a view of another kind of furnace conveyor unit assembly provided with preshaped composite carbonaceous members made in accordance with my invention
- FIGURE 5 is a view taken along line V V of FIG- URE 4;
- FIGURE 6 is an illustrative chart showing reaction resistance advantages of anti-pickup carbon-and-metal work-engaging compositions of this invention.
- FIGURE 7 is a chart illustrating advantages which maybe secured by addition of bor-ic oxide as an addition ingredient.
- FIGURES 1 and 2 of the drawings there is shown a furnace conveyor unit 10 in the shape of a furnace roll having a body 11, laterally outwardly tapered necked portions 12 and journals 13 for mounting in any appropriate manner.
- Roll 10 is provided with a surfacing member 14 made in accordance with my invention.
- member 14 is in the form of a cylindrical sleeve having indentation recesses 15 around the edge of each end thereof.
- retainer rings 16 may be moved into engagement with the respective ends of sleeve 14 to secure it in place in roll 10, and a welding bead 17 being employable to lock the retainer rings 16 in place.
- retainer rings 16 may instead be fastened to body 11 by holding or other means.
- Temperature resistant alloys are used preferably on exposed parts since a roll such as roll 10 may be employed in a furnace in which metal work passing therethrough is raised to a temperature as high in some cases as about 2000 F.
- the retainer rings 16 may be provided with axially extending lugs 18 in spaced circumferential relation to each other, such spacing being such that the lugs 18 fit into the recesses 15 so that there is no relative movement in operation between surfacing member 14 and the remainder of furnace conveyor unit 10. It will be recognized that in some installations, other holding means may be employed if some relative rotational movement between the surfacing member and the remainder of the unit is to be permitted and, further, that in other installations, no need will arise or be desired for any positive keying relation between a surfacing member and the remainder of the unit. In some cases also, the interior of the body 11 may be cooled by a fluid introduced through axial passages in one or both ends of the unit.
- furnace conveyor units like rolls 10 may be found in a roller hearth furnace 19, the interior furnace space of which would generally be surrounded by a refractory 20 while metal work 21 being treated in furnace 19 might progress through the furnace in the direction shown by the arrow While being supported on rollers 22 having a body 23 and a new surfacing member 24 of my invention.
- the rollers 22 may be idle or driven as desired, depending upon the means used to cause movement of the metal work 21 through the furnace.
- An even more likely present-day use of such furnace roll compositions of this invention will be in continuous heattreating tower furnaces for the processing of metal in strip or strand form at high temperatures.
- the instant invention is particularly applicable to inhibiting the development of pick-up when the metal work 21 is of a ferrous metal composition such as silicon strip or stainless steel but the invention is not confined to such ferrous compositions and may also be applied to nonferrous metals.
- My invention further is resistant to untimely loss of weight of carbon in solid phase, and to change in shape or diameter of the work-supporting members like members 14 and 24 therefor. Thereby the respective units 10 and 22 have longer life and dimensional stability even when the controlled atmosphere used in the furnace interior may be reactive with carbon resulting in depletion of the element carbon in its solid phase in the member by conversion thereof into a gas.
- Surfacing members such as members '14 and 24, are composite carbonaceous members made essentially of an admixture of carbon and metal.
- Such a new oxidation and pickup resistant surfacing member to engage work may be manufactured, for example, by mixing carbon Patented June 5, 1%2v be in the form of an alloy or mixture with one another or with other preferential affinity metals having intermediate melting points such as calcium and/or magnesium.
- One source of such carbon may be petroleum coke which may be somewhat lower in cost compared to other sources of carbon.
- Such mixture of carbon and metal may be shaped by mixing itwith a. binder preferably in the nature of a bituminous product like pitch or tar, whether with or without boric oxide therein, as the case may be. Then the admixture of carbon and metal and binder is molded or otherwise shaped into the desired shape which the new composite carbonaceous memberis to have. Such molding may be performed, for example, by extruding in the case of a cylindrical sleeve like surfacing members I4 and 24.. The shaped admixture may then be heated :ance of such carbon-and-metal to loss of weight due to any tendency to react with oxygen, whether as free oxygen or reactive oxygen-containing gases, in the furnace,
- One of my new surfacing members maybe made up before curing, for example, in proportions of about 6 parts carbon from petroleum coke, about 2 parts silicon and about 2. parts bituminous tar, all on a weight basis, and yield a highly satisfactory composite carbonaceous member of this invention.
- Silicon may be in the form of a commercially pure powdered silicon or added in the form of an addition alloy like ferrosilicon or of a mixture such as calcium-silicon. Titanium, zirconium and chromium are other metals 1 have discovered to be advanta geous when used in accomplishing my invention and such is also the case with aluminum.
- Aluminum appears to be more useful as a member component in situations where there is an absence of sulfur (such as occurs in some pitches and tars) when there is moisture in the atmosphere surrounding a new carbonaceous memto a temperature, for example, in the neighborhood or, I
- pitch or tar is used as a binder to 'bond thenew surface 1 member, thepitch or tar. is carbonized in the heating and.
- my new surfacing member is assembled with the remainder of a furnace conveyor unit or the. like with which-it is to be used -as the, work-engaging surface thereof.
- carbonaceous member for such surfacing has been found to be relatively stable in dimensions and longer wearing. Even in cases where thecontrolled atmosphere used in the furnace in which the member is employed causes some loss in weight by-reaction of such atmosphere with 7 the carbon in such member, any suchreaction occurring, moreover, at a slower rate than would be the case with a surfacing member ofcarbon alone. Even should any loss of carbon in such a new composite memberbegin to give an appearance of fporosity, the dimensions of the member and its ability to support the metal work it engages, remain for a relatively longer period of time. In addition, my new surfacing members inhibit develop-' ment of thephenomenon of pickup while exhibiting such resistance to wear, to change in dimension and to carbon loss deterioration.
- Such a new composite her containing aluminum In general, of the metals named above, silicon, titanium and zirconium are preferred. Boron oxide (B 0 when used, may also be added in the form of a commercial grade powder, preferably in a selected weight percentage amount between from about 5% to 40%.
- Such a metal as silicon, titanium, zirconium, chromium and aluminum, with their preferential aflinity for oxygen relative to the atfinity of carbon for such oxygen at operative temperatures, may be used alone or as an alloy or mixture with one another, and/ or as an alloy or mixture with intermediate melting point preferential afiinity metals like calcium or magnesium, as the metal component in my new carbon-and-metal Work-engaging members.
- relatively lower melting point metals with a preferential ailim'ty for oxygen greater than carbon, such as sodium, potassium and lithium in their elemental form are not suitable for the manufacture of'my new composite members.
