  • Production of alloy steels using chemically prepared V.sub.2 O.sub.3 as a vanadium additive
    Patent number: 4526613
    Abstract: Process for producing alloy steels wherein a vanadium additive consisting essentially of chemically prepared, substantially pure V.sub.2 O.sub.3 is added to molten steel as a vanadium additive. The production of the alloy steel involves specifically the use of the V.sub.2 O.sub.3 as a vanadium additive in an argon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD) process.
    Type: Grant

  • Production of tool steels using chemically prepared V.sub.2 O.sub.3 as a vanadium additive
    Patent number: 4511400
    Abstract: Process for producing tool steel wherein a vandadium additive consisting essentially of chemically prepared, substantially pure V.sub.2 O.sub.3 is added to a molten steel having a carbon content above about 0.35 wt. % and containing silicon in an amount of from about 0.15 to about 3.0 wt. % and wherein a slag covering the molten steel contains CaO and SiO.sub.2 in a weight ratio (CaO/SiO.sub.2) which is equal to or greater than unity.
