Description

UNITED STATES ATENT OFFICE,
JOHN FOWLER, OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
ANTI-FRICTION ALLOY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 474,295, dated May 3, 1892.
Application filed October 8, 1891. Serial No 408,205. (No specimens.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that-I, JOHN FOWLER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Anti-Friction Alloys; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a composition of metals especially designed to form an alloy for use in the manufacture of metal bearings and other castings; and it consists in the following metals combined substantially in the proportions specified, although such proportions may be varied: block-tin, thirty-nine and one-half pounds; antimony, eight pounds; copper, four ounces; phosphor-tin, one pound. The phosphor-tin may contain any suitable per cent. of phosphorus.
I find by adding the phosphor-tin that the metals unite and flow more freely. It also prevents oxidation to a great extent and gives greater durability, strength, and antifriction properties to the castings, whereby it is especially designed for bearings.
- In preparing the alloy the antimony is usually first melted in a crucible. The copper is then added and thoroughly mixed, and While the mixture is in a melted state the phosphor-tin is added. WVhen the entire mass becomes thoroughly fused and mixed, it is poured into ingots, which I term tempermetal. The block-tin is then placed in a crucible and fused, and the temper-metal in proper proportions is added in small pieces, and the Whole thoroughly mixed and fused, after which it is poured into ingots or other form.
Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
1. The herein-described alloy, comprising tin, antimony, copper, and phosphorus, substantially as specified.
2. The process of making the herein-described alloy, which consists in fusing antimony, copper, and phosphor-tin, and subsequent] y fusing the alloy formed thereby with block-tin, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
JOHN FOWLER.

HAMILTON GRIsWOLD, LEONARD HUBER.
