In an electric arc furnace system for making steel, a method and structure (1) for eliminating teeming hang-ups and ensuring temperature homogeneity in a ladle which teems into an ingot mold by gas purging at all possible steps under both atmospheric and vacuum conditions, and (2) for preventing non-metallic inclusions from appearing in the final product by deflecting the granular material in the teeming ladle well block away from the ingot mold by a heat resistant but combustible deflector just prior to entry of the teeming stream into the ingot mold.

Flexible minimum energy utilization electric arc furnace system and processes for making steel products

A combined arc furnace, ladle metallurgical furnace and vacuum degassing system having the flexibility to produce at least non-vacuum arc remelt, vacuum arc remelt, vacuum oxygen decarburized non-vacuum arc remelt, and vacuum oxygen decarburized vacuum arc remelt steels from one off to continuous casting end uses in steady state or randomized order which utilizes only a minimum of energy attributable to preheating hot metal contacting components of the system followed by heat loss reduction of the components and use of a carryover heel in the arc furnace, in which the throughput of the system is limited solely by the melting capacity of the arc furnace.

A tool for glass molding operations, particularly television tubes, having high oxidation resistance so that ice imperfections on a formed workpiece are eliminated or drastically reduced, said tool having the following approximate composition by weight percent: C 0.23-0.38, Mn 0.40-1.00, P 0.040 max, S 0.030 max, Si 0.00-1.20, Ni 1.0-3.0, Cr 14.0-20.0, Mo 0.25-1.00, V 0.10 max, Cu 0.50-1.50, Al 0.50-1.50, Fe balance together with incidental impurities and other elements not significantly adversely affecting performance and methods of manufacture thereof

Tool for glass molding operations and method of manufacture thereof

A die casting die and a Cr--Mo--V steel therefore having an ultimate strength of 190,000 psi, a yield strength of 160,000, a tempering response of 400 BHN at a tempering temperature of 1150.degree. F. and final gas contents of N--70 ppm, O--30 ppm and H--about 1.0 following a double vacuum melting process which includes vacuum arc degassing and vacuum arc remelt followed by annealing and heating in two stages to 1885.degree. F., soaking, rapid quenching, tempering twice and stress tempering.

High ductility very clean non-micro banded die casting steel

A maraging type magnetic hot work implement, such as a forging die, or a tool, such as a turbine blade, having Ni.sub.3 Mo, Ni.sub.3 Al and, preferably, Ni.sub.3 Ti strengthening precipitates dispersed uniformly, and being substantially Co free, said product having the following approximate composition by weight percent:

Maraging type hot work implement or tool and method of manufacture

A 12 percent stainless-type steel having high polishability characterized by high carbon, moderate Mo and a combination of V and Nb not to exceed about 0.1 percent, and a method of production which includes forming a vacuum arc remelt electrode by means of vacuum arc degassing treatment and protective pouring.

Double stabilized stainless-type steel die block

A method and apparatus for producing high quality steel having less than about 1 ppm H, 50 ppm N, 25 ppm O and 0.005 S which includes subjection to vacuum, gas purging, and alternating current heating arcs, followed by shrouded pouring into sealed ingot molds to form a VAR electrode which is subsequently remelted under a very low absolute vacuum and re-solidified.
