  • the above mentioned operating temperature is higher than the usual temperature to which metal of the above composition is heated before tapping because the coating metal of the powder has a melting point of about 1520°C and it is desirable that the metal be as hot as possible.
  • a temperature of higher than about 1500°C is not possible because of the tendency to "whiten" the indefinite chill iron.

  • the induction coil was then turned on so that the melt was mixed.
  • Other techniques to avoid oxidation may be used such as, use of a flux or addition of the coated alloy carbide powder as a cored wire, although the flux may inhibit dispersion of particles in the melt and a cored wire would be expensive.

  • the coating metal comprised 59% Ni and 41% iron (including up to 0.5% free carbon and usual residuals).
  • the metal was poured into a ladle where it remained at a temperature corresponding to the liquidus temperature plus about 170 - 180°C and then the metal was cast into the mould of the spin casting plant wherein the temperature was the liquidus temperature plus about 80 - 110°C.
  • the precise temperature depends upon the size, the smaller moulds being hotter and the larger cooler.
  • FIG. 9 is an optical D.I.C. (differential interference contrast) micrograph at x 300 magnification, unetched, of a sample taken from the middle of the shell and shows a matrix with graphite flakes and small uniformly and randomly distributed alloy carbide particles.
  • the microstructure was similar to that of Example I with the alloy coated particles being distributed throughout the matrix and the transformation carbide.
  • a composite roll comprising a shell of High Chromium iron and a nodular cast iron core was made by the spin casting technique of Example II using an argon atmosphere.
  • the shell metal had the following composition:-
  • the powder coated alloy carbide was as described in Example I.
  • the powder was added to the metal in amounts equivalent to 10% by weight. 5% by weight was present in the solid metal.
  • the metal has a liquidus temperature of 1255°C and was heated to an operating temperature of 1560°C.
  • the temperatures in the ladle and in the spin casting plant were related to the liquidus temperature similarly as in Example II the temperature on adding to the spin casting plant being 1345°C. After solidification of the roll samples were taken as in Example II.
  • Figure 10 is a scanning election microscope micrograph at x 350 magnification of a sample taken from the middle of the shell.
  • Figure 11 is a similar micrograph but at x 3000 magnification. It will be seen that the discrete added alloy carbide particles are randomly and uniformly distributed and are present in both the matrix and in the transformation carbide. The carbide had largely separated into dark angular titanium rich particles about 1-10 micron in size and pinkish, rounded tungsten-rich particles generally less than about 5 micron in size. EDAX analysis revealed that the tungsten-rich particles also contains high levels of molybdenum whilst the metal itself contains low levels of titanium and tungsten in solution, both in the matrix and the transformation carbide. This points to the dissolution of the alloy carbide particles of (TiW)C in the melt, or at least their tungsten-rich outer layers, followed by their reprecipitation after solidification.
  • carbide particles of the same kind as described hereinbefore in connection with the first example were added to the melt in the melting furnace in an amount equivalent to 10% by weight. The metal was then allowed to remain in the furnace as before to recover its tapping temperature and an ingot was then cast.

  • the resultant forging was heat treated to simulate a conventional forged roll heat treatment.
  • Micrographs were taken at a magnification of x400 at different positions and on transverse and longitudinal sections. These showed that the forging had a substantially uniform microstructure throughout Figure 8 is an example of one of these micrographs taken on a longitudinal section.

  • the cladding may comprise a hollow sleeve, for example, a sleeve comprising inner and outer generally cylindrical walls inter-connected by generally annular shaped walls with the space between the walls containing powder as described hereinbefore and the sleeve being mounted, for example, by welding or by virtue of being a push fit on the inner body.

  • the voltage and current used in the electroslag remelting operation are manipulated so that there is a relatively high voltage and a relatively low current, or vice versa and in addition the composition of the slag is adjusted so as to provide a relatively viscous slag. As a result turbulence in the slag and the melt pool are minimised so that a desired composition gradient is achieved.
  • the voltage and current used are manipulated so that the floor of the melt pool is relatively flat.
  • the metal droplets leaving the cladding of the electrode are more dense than the metal droplets leaving the inner body of the electrode when they are more highly alloyed. This results in the droplets from the cladding of the electrode falling downwardly adjacent to the wall of the mould and, because the floor of the melt pool is relatively flat, there is relatively little tendency for these droplets to run towards the middle of the melt pool before they have solidified as a result of their spatial and temperature proximity to the mould wall.
  • the composition of the slag is adjusted to reduce the ionic capacity of the slag by adjusting the balance of the silicon, calcium and aluminium in the slag to reduce the tendency for electromagnetic stirring as well as the composition of the slag being adjusted to provide a relatively higher viscosity.
  • the slag has the following composition:- 33 1 /3% CaO, 33 /3% CaF 2 , 33V 3 % Al,0 3 .

  • the electrode has a diameter which is about 0.9% of the diameter of the mould cavity.
  • the electrode is arranged so that approximately 20%, by weight, of the electrode comprises cladding and the balance is provided by the inner body. This ratio may lie in the range 1% to 40%.
  • the melting point of the cladding has been described as being lower than the melting point of the metal of the inner body, if desired this may be reversed.
  • droplets of liquid metal are solid particles of the metal carbide which does not melt, from the tubes 124 and powder 125 fall generally vertically downwardly and because of the relatively close spatial and temperature proximity to the wall of the mould 110 the droplets solidify relatively rapidly, at or adjacent to the mould wall and the carbide particles are trapped by the solidifying melt adjacent the rrfould wall, so that the metal at the surface of the ingot 14 has a relatively high uniform distribution of alloy and alloy carbides as well as having a composition of matrix substantially similar to the composition of the metal of the tubes 124.
  • the metal droplets falling from the middle of the bottom of the inner part fall vertically downwardly and thus the metal solidifying at the centre of the ingot has a composition substantially similar to the composition of the inner part of the electrode.
  • metal from the cladding is of greater density than the metal from the inner body as this causes the droplets to fall downwardly adjacent to the mould wall together and by the hereinbefore mentioned precautions to avoid mixing, low slag viscosity, low slag electromagnetic stirring and a relatively flat melt pool base.
  • the ingot has a relatively uniform transition region between the inner part and the surface part.
  • the ingot, and hence any resulting product such as a roll as described hereinbefore, has an elastic modulus which increases in direct proportion to the amount of the distribution of the alloy/alloy carbide through the ingot cross-section.
  • composition at the surface of the ingot is:
  • composition at the centre of the ingot is: Carbon 0.5%
  • the variation in composition is believed to arise due to the relatively higher diffusion of chromium and carbon compared with the relatively lower diffusion and more dense tungsten and titanium.
  • composition gradient does not exceed 40% per 100mm in the radial direction and this condition applies with any position along the longitudinal extent of the roll.
  • the electroslag remelting apparatus and method of operation described in connection with Example V may also used but with the operating conditions modified so as to aim to provide a uniform composition roll, for example the voltage and current used manipulated so that the floor of the melt pool is relatively deep.
  • the operating conditions modified so as to aim to provide a uniform composition roll for example the voltage and current used manipulated so that the floor of the melt pool is relatively deep.
  • conventional operating conditions and slag compensations were used.
  • An electrode comprising an inner part, with an outer cladding of tubular configuration both made of low carbon steel was made with the space therebetween containing alloy carbide powder as described in connection with Example V. Quantities were calculated for a target addition of 1 wt%.
  • the low carbon steel of this example contained about 0.1% nitrogen it is considered that at least some of this nitrogen has formed titanium carbo-nitride particles and hence that at least some of the above mentioned carbide particles comprise such titanium carbo-nitride particles which may also contain tungsten.
