Description
ALDUS G.HIGGINS, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
METHOD OF TREATING ALUMINOUS MATERIALS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 27,1909.
Application filed May 31, 1907. Serial No. 376,567.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALDUs C. HIGGINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Treating Aluminous Materials, of which the following is a specification.
The ob'ect of this invention is to prepare a materia suitable for use as an abrasive or for the preparation of grinding or' cutting implements or articles and for other purposes, by fusing in an electric furnace an aluminous material, as for instance anhydrous or hydrated oxid of aluminum, under such temperature conditions as will yield a substantially homogeneous and uniform product.
The material produced by the fusion of alumina, raw or calcined bauxite or other aluminous material, in the electric furnace usually contains as impurities small proportions of such metals as 'iron, titanium and silicon, or compounds or oxide of these.
, alloys, carbids or oxids, .which under the variations in t ordinary conditions of operation, viz., when the material is heated merely to the temperature of quiet fusion are not uniformly disseminated throughout the product but occur therein as more or less segregated -masses, which are evident in the product is often somewhat irregularly disseminated,
therein, rise to objectionable local e composition or structure of the implements.
I have now discovered that while the segregation is often marked in the product prepared at temperatures not great y exceeding the melting point of alumina, when thetemperature is carried to a sufliciently high degree such segregation either does not occur to any substantial or practically objectionable extent, or if segregation exists at any stage of the operation it is followed by a distribution or diffusion of the im urities throughout the highly heated and re atively mobile mass; and that the material produced under such high temperature conditions is substantially uniform and homogeneous, its value for the preparation of abrasives being practically unimpaired by the presence of the uniformly distributed or diffused impurities.
Insufficient temperature conditions in the furnace, with coincident se regation of im all of a number of causes, among which may be mentioned too low current density, toorapid feeding of the charge, and the presence in the char e of an undue proportion of water. Wh' e it is not practicable to specify a definite suitable temperature in degrees of a thermometric scale, such proper temperature' is readily attained and reproduced in practice by observing the above factors and so regulating them as to secure the desired results.
The highly heated fused product is in practice permitted to solidify in the electric furnace, being preferably cooled or chilled therein as described in mycopending application 307,090, filed March 2.0, 1906, whereby a product of exceptional toughness and hardness is produced.
I claim:
1. The method which consists in fusing an aluminous material in an electric furnace at a temperature substantially above the state of quiet fusion and suflicient to prevent substantial segregation of impurities, and. recovering the result'in roduct in solid form.
2. The method whic consists in fusing an aluminous material in an electric furnace at a temperature substantially above the state of V
