Definitions

  • This invention relates to the improvement in the hot ductility of steels containing tellurium.
  • tellurium improves the machinability of steel when added in small amounts. It is desirable to make use of tellurium as an additive to improve the machinability of such steels because small amounts of tellurium improve the machinability while having little or no adverse elfects on other properties of the steel parts produced.
  • tellurium even when present in small amounts, has an effect on the steel which is unique by comparison with the additions of lead or selenium in amounts to improve machinability.
  • the presence of tellurium in the steels in the amounts required to improve machinability has the very undesirable effect of reducing ductility of the steel at hot working temperatures.
  • ⁇ It is an object of this invention to produce and to provide a method for producing plain, medium and high carbon steels and alloy steels in which use is made of tellurium'in amounts to improve machinability characteristics of the steels but in which the undesirable elfect of tellurium on the ductility of the steels at hot working temperatures is effectively overcome.
  • tellurium is added to yield a tellurium content in the steel in an amount within the range of .01 to .10 percent by weight and preferably in an amount within the range of .02 to .085 percent by weight.
  • the amount of tellurium can be obtained by additions of tellurium, preferably in the form of a ferro tellurium, to the molten steel preferably before pouring the ingot.
  • the rare earth component is preferably added in the form of mischmetal which is a mixture of rare earths containing about 50 to 53 percent by weight cerium, 25 to 26 percent by weight lanthanum, about 5 percent by weight praseodymium, and about 1 6 percent by weight neodymium.
  • mischmetal is a mixture of rare earths containing about 50 to 53 percent by weight cerium, 25 to 26 percent by weight lanthanum, about 5 percent by weight praseodymium, and about 1 6 percent by weight neodymium.
  • any one or more of the rare earths may be employed alone or in admixtures.
  • the desired results can be secured when the mischmetal or other rare earths are employed with the tellurium in the ratio of 1 00 parts by weight tellurium to 10-5000 parts by weight of rare earths, and preferably in the ratio of parts by weight tellurium to 40-1000 parts by weight of rare earths.
  • the desired results are secured when the rare earths are present in the steel
  • the steels were made up in an induction furnace with av magnesia lining.
  • the charges to the furnace were made up of ingot iron and ferrosilicon.
  • ferro alloys were added to increase the silicon, chromium, phosphorus and molybdenum content.
  • ferrosilicon was added with graphite to control the carbon and silicon contents.
  • ferro-manganese was added. The additions of aluminum to kill the steel and the additions of tellurium or the like.
  • the rare earth content was analyzed on the basis 'of cerium content. Assuming the cerium represents 50 percent of the total rare earths in 'misch'metal, the total amount of rare earths would be approximately twice the amount analyzed for cerium.
  • test specimens'in the form of rods having a diameter of 0.250 inch and a length of 4% inches The hottensile tests reported were performed on an apparatus, known as a Gleeble, on test specimens'in the form of rods having a diameter of 0.250 inch and a length of 4% inches.
  • the 'test specimens, as cast, were heated in byelectrical resistance means inacbrdarice with the following heating schedules;
  • the method of improving the hot ductility of steels containing tellurium comprising adding rare earth elements for retention in the steel in the ratio of 1 part by weight tellurium to .1 to 50 parts by weight of rare earths.
  • the rare earth element is present I in an amount within the range of .01 to .5 percent by weight.
  • a hot worked tellurium steel having 0.1 to 50 parts by weight rare earth per 1 part by weight tellurium to improve the hot ductility of the steel.
