PROCESS OF PRODUCING LOW-CARBON, LOW-SILICON TITANIUM ALLOYS.
941,553. No Drawing.
in Processes of Producing Low-Carbon, Low-Silicon Titanium Alloys, of which the following is aspecification.
When ores of titaniumand an alloying metal are reduced by carbon in an electric furnace, the resulting titanium alloyv contains a large proportlon of-carbon. Ferrotitanium high in carbon isnot a desirable alloy for usein the production or certain titanium st-eels; If, however, silica be added to the charge, the silicon reduced simultaneously with the titanium acts as a carbon-exeluding agent and a low-carbon high-silicon alloy may be produced.
According to the presentprocess, a titanium alloy low in carbon and high'in silicon is subjected to an oxidizing reagent for the production of an alloy low in 'or substantially free from silicon. For example, the
duced by electrically smelting a charge containing oxide of titanium and silicon, carbon and asource of iron, is finely crushed and mixed with iror 'oxid and the mixture is subjected to a temperature suiiicient to efiect the oxidation of silicon in the alloy with simultaneous reduction of the iron oxid,the reduced iron alloying with the ferro-titanium. The iron oxid, for example hematite ore, may be added directly to the molten highsilicon alloy, either in the reduction furnace or in a separate vessel into which the alloy is tapped.
Iron oxid. is a desirable reagent for removing t e silicon from term-titanium, since it intro u'ces no new constituent into the alloy. Oxids of other metals, reducible by silicon and alloy-able with farm-titanium, may obviously be employed.
The alloys produced by thisprocess preferably contain titanium in excess of ten per cent, carbon not in excess of five per cent,
' and silicon not in excess of five per cent. A
product containing about 30% of titanium and 2% of carbon, substantially free from silicon, may be made by reacting with ferricoxid on an initial alloy "containing about 50% of titanium, 40% of silicon, 3% of car- Specification of Letters Patent.
