Patented March 24, 1908.
Application filed. .n'ii 'io, 901, semi No. 353,059,
To all who-mit mwy concern. Be it known that I, JOHN B. 'HUFFARQ, a' citizen of the United States, residing at Ferris, in the eonnt'y of Fayette and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lfrooesses of Producing Slag-Free Ferr0ohron1iun1,' of which the following is a specification. I
The slags produced in. the manufacture of ferrochroinium in an electric furnace are highly basicand infusihle, containing oxids of calcium, .inagne'siuni, chromium. and alu minium insuch proportions that the melting point of the slag isthiglrer than that of the 3" ,In order to effect a separation of' the slag and. alloy, itiscustomar to tap the entire. contents of the electric furnace into a pot having a refractory lining, allow it to remain therein until the slag and alloy have partially solidified, and then dump the mass into 'a ter toeornpletcthe cooling. Slag'andafih 'herentfused portions of the pot--lining are.
then. broken and chipped away from the alloy by pneumatic hammers or hand tools. This process s expensiveand unsatisfactory as the slag is very hard and adheres so tenaciously .-that some of it remains and is carried by the alloy into the molten steel to which the ferrochronii'uin is added, to the injury of. the finished prod net.
The present in ven U051 tin-improved procj ess oi nlitainihg (dean ferrool'iroinium by etfectively sgajftthting the molten alloy and slag. Acobrding' to this process the ferro-' chromium and slag are tapped from the elec- "tric furnace into a pot-having e. lining.
The heavier alloy'suhsides and the supenneumbent slag quickly s'ohdifies or stitfens, while the metal beneath remains molten. The tap' hole-1n the'hottom of the pot is then opened and the molten ferrochromiui'n isrun out into the in ot mold. The solid body of slagis then isehar cd from the pot, which is re lined for furt 'ier use.
Suitable apparatus is shown in the aooompanymg drawing, in which the figure is a transverse vertical section of the pot and 1ngot mold.
The cast iron. pot 1, mounted on Wheels 2, has a tlnn-fire-clay lining 3. ,In' the lower end of thepot is a taphole. 4 normally closed by a refractory plug. Beneath the pot is an ingot mold- 5, A body of solidified or stiffened slag 6 is shown in the up er half of the pot, while the molten ferroc ironiiuni 7 is flowing through. the open taphole into the mold.
I claim:
1. The process of producing metals free. from slags of relatively-high melting-points, which consists in discharging the molten.
.metal and slag into a vessel, allowing the metal and slag to stratify and the slag to solidify, and separating the molten metal from the solid slag.
2. The process of producing slag-free ferrochroinium, which consists in discharging the molten ferrochrornium and slag into a vessel,
allowing the alloy and slag to stratify and the SltHl' to solidify, and separatingthe molten.
alloy from the solid slag.
In testimony whereof, I afhX my signature in presence. of two witnesses.
