Definitions

  • the invention relates to the production of ferromanganese powder, and relates more particularly to the method of such production wherein molten ferromanganese is atomized with the aid of either steam or pressurized water, and the liquid droplets thereafter are chilled in a water bath.
  • ferromanganese powder are needed as an additive for the coating of welding electrodes.
  • the powder is produced by first breaking cast blocks of ferromanganese and thereafter grinding to a fine powder the broken block parts in heavy pebble mills.
  • This method of the prior art has met with difficulties.
  • Ferromanganese is brittle, so that during the grinding there occurs a large part of dust-like powder; this dust-like powder, however, is not usable as an additive in the coating of electrodes, and therefore needs to be recast.
  • the grinding must be carried out under a protective gas cover, which requires the observing of explosive protective measures to avoid the occurrence of dust explosions.
  • the invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, all as exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the claims.
  • molten ferromanganese emerges from an annular nozzle in the form of a jet, is atomized with the aid of either steam or pressurized water into fine droplets, and these fine droplets are subsequently chilled in a water bath. Thereafter, the chilled powder either with or without an intervening predrying step, is heated to a temperature of from about 200 C. to 400 C., preferably a temperature of about 280 C., in a hydrogen-free atmosphere, for instance in dry air.
  • Example 8 After the atomizing of molten ferromanganese of conventional composition, with the aid of pressurized water, the resulting powder had a hydrogen content of 37 cubic centimeters per grams. The following percentages thereof were removed during the subsequent heat treat- Where still higher heating temperatures are applied, they change the hydrogen content only little; furthermore, there exists then the danger of oxidation of the powder.
  • a method of producing ferromanganese powder wherein molten ferromanganese is atomized with the aid of steam or pressurized water and the liquid droplets are chilled in a water bath, the steps comprising heating the chilled powder at a temperature of from about 200 C. to about 400 C. in a hydrogen-free atmosphere.
  • the heating temperature being about 280 C.
