Patent GB-190909508-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process of Refining Metals and Alloys.
Inventor: GREENE ALBERT EDWARDS
IPC: C22B9/00
Filed: 1909-04-21
Granted: 1910-06-21
Abstract: 9508. Greene, A. E. April 21. Cast - iron and scrap processes.-In a process for refining steel and steel alloys by eliminating one or more undesired oxidizable elements, the molten metal or alloy is maintained at a temperature at which the oxygen - affinity of the element or elements that it is desired to eliminate is greater than the oxygen-affinity of the element or elements that it is desired to retain, the said bath being subjected to the action of a gaseous mixture having oxidizing properties with respect to the former element or elements, but reducing properties with respect to the latter element or elements. The desired impurities are thereby removed without the remaining metal or constituents being prejudicially affected, and without danger of overblowing. The necessary conditions are obtained by a combined regulation of the temperature of the bath and of the composition of the gaseous mixture, the most advantageous temperature and composition being found by a series of trials upon the particular material to be treated. Blast-furnace gases may be employed as the gaseous mixture, the desired dissociation pressure being obtained by a variation of the composition of the mixture, and also of the total pressure thereof. The impurities may be largely removed by treatment with an oxidizing - gas prior to treatment with the gaseous mixture above described. A flux suitable for forming slag compounds with phosphorus and sulphur is employed when these impurities are present in the steel or other metal or alloy under treatment; and the treatment is continued by subjecting the bath to the further action of a gas having reducing-properties with respect to the said flux. The process may be applied to steel alloys containing one or more of the following, namely, titanium, tungsten, chromium, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, silicon, and manganese. The process may be carried out in an electric furnace 4, the gaseous mixture being introduced through tuyeres 10, and the gaseous products removed, and the pressure in the furnace regulated by a fan 9; or an induction furnace may be employed.

Abstract: 1597. Gardner, A. March 9, 1910, [Convention date]. Scraping-machines, taking up refuse for removal.-Relates to tramway rail-cleaning apparatus of the kind in which a scoop is provided on each side of a special truck, and elevators are arranged so as to collect the dirt removed from the rails by the scoops and convey it to a receptacle on the truck. The invention consists mainly in pivotally supporting the scoops on the truck, and in providing a spring-cushioned tongue on the scoop, which is adapted to enter the rail-groove. Fig. 1 shows in side elevation the truck 7, on each side of which is arranged an elevator 10, to the casing of which is pivoted at 15 a scoop 14. The elevators 10 working in connexion with each scoop raise the dirt and discharge it over inclines 13 into the truck. Mounted beneath the scoops are tongues 19, which rest upon and engage in the rails, are guided in bearings 20, and are controlled by springs 22, as shown in Fig. 3. Extending from each scoop is a bar 17, which carries a guidewheel 18, and is connected to a lever 23 for lifting the scoop out of action. The backward sliding movement of the tongues through the medium of toggle-levers 26, 27 causes a wheel 28 to be forced on to the rail to ensure the lifting of the scoop and tongue when obstacles are met. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the elevator 10 works from back to front of the scoop 14. Instead of employing a separate truck, the apparatus may be applied to an ordinary passenger car having bins. to receive the dirt. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 3434/72, 10,023/00, 12,845/03, [Class 104, Railways &c.], and 25,713/05.

Abstract: 10,146. Kann, A. April 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Fluid-actuated gears; lift valves; separate admission and exhaust valves.-The inlet to the ends A, B of the cylinder is controlled by two valves a, b arranged co-axially. The exhaust is controlled by the piston passing over ports e, g. When the piston opens the port e during the forward stroke, the fall of pressure in the end A causes the valve a to close and cut-off the supply. When the piston passes the port g, the compression acts upon the valve b which moves to open the supply to the end B of the cylinder. In the rock-drill arrangement shown in Fig. 5, an auxiliary passage i is bored in the spindle k to supply compressed air to the chamber l to reverse the valve b should the piston seize.
