UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM R. THOMAS, OF OATASAUQUA, PENNSYLVANIA.
METHOD OF MIXING ALLOYS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters 'Patent No. 487,338, dated December 6, 1892.
Application filed August 18,1892. Serial No. 443,419. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. THOMAS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Catasauqua, in the county of Lehigh and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Mixing Alloys; and I do hereby 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.
My present invention or discovery relates to the art of working metals, and has for its object certain improvements in the method or process of mixing alloys, whereby their density is increased and the grain of the metal rendered more regular than under the prevailing practice of mixing alloys.
The invention or discovery will be fully disclosed in the following specification and claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification and are used for the purpose of illustration, Figure l represents a vertical section of a vessel and an agitator used for the purpose of carrying out or practicing my method, and Fig. 2 represents a plan of the agitator detached or separated from the vessel.
Reference being had to the drawings, Aindicates a vessel, which may be a plain cylindrical iron vessel ora crucible or a ladle, and B an agitator, which consists of a disk provided with numerous perforations a and a handle b, by which the agitator is reciprocated vertically to break the molten metal into fine streams to insure thorough mixing. The vessel may be provided with a porter-bar C for handling it, if desired.
The mode of procedure under my process is as follows: The alloys are melted in one vessel-such asacrucibleorladle-and poured into another vessel, as A, heated to maintain .the heat of the molten alloys, and upon the up the body of met-al until thoroughly mixed. After the mixing has been completed the metal is poured into suitable molds in the usual way of casting.
For mixing metal-s requiring phosphorus, phosphide tin is first made by 'placing stick prosphorus in the bottom of the vessel A under the disk B and molten tin poured on the perforated disk, and after the reaction ceases the disk is reciprocated until the metals have been thoroughly mixed. After the phosphide has cooled a required amount necessary for the purpose it is placed in the vessel A, properly heated, and under the disk B and from the crucible the molten metal is poured upon the disk and the phosphide, and when reaction ceases the metal is agitated and broken or divided into numerous streams by reciprocating the disk B until a thorough mixture of the metal has been secured, when the mixed metal is poured into molds.
By the foregoing operation the metals are so thoroughly mixed as to form a homogeneous body, which when broken shows no evidence of separation, is of increased density, and the grain of the metal is far more regular than when mixed in the usual way by stirring.
In practicing this process it has been ascertained that the density of an ingot of given dimensions is increased more than ten per cent.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim isl. The method of mixing alloys, which consists in pouring the molten metals into a vessel and subsequently breaking or dividing the mixture into numerous streams in said vessel.
2. The method of mixing alloys, which consists in breaking or dividing the molten metalsinto numerous streams while pouring them into a vessel and subsequently further breaking or dividing the mixture into numerous streams.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM R. THOMAS. Witnesses:
FRANKLIN GoLDsMITr, R. CLAY HAMERsLY.
