Patent number: 6283198Abstract: The disclosed process consists in filling the gap between a billet and the wall of a sectional mould with a molten slag in at least two stages. When the first portion is poured in, the gaps between the sections of the mould are filled. Once the slag in the gaps is solidified completely, voltage is supplied and the second and next portions of the slag are added. The creation of an electromagnetic field inside the mould takes place following the starting of the cladding process. The liquid metal is then added for the cladding process, which is carried out by means of the stable rotation of the slag and metal. The process can be carried out with varying levels of slag inside the current-carrying part of the mould. The billet can be preheated at the short-circuiting conditions prior to the cladding process.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1999Date of Patent: September 4, 2001Assignee: Zakrytoe Aktsionernoe Obschestvo “Elmet-Rol-Guppa Medovara”Inventor: Boris I.

Patent number: 5293922Abstract: A metal is attached on a passage-forming core by electrocasting to provide a primary metal layer. A plurality of grooves are formed on the primary metal layer and are filled with filler of low melting point. A metal is attached on the primary metal layer by electrocasting to provide a secondary metal layer. Openings are formed on the secondary metal layer adjacent to its opposite ends so as to communicate with the grooves. The filler in the grooves is melted to provide a plurality of coolant passages. The openings are filled with manifold-forming cores made of filler with low melting point. A metal is attached on the manifold-forming cores by electrocasting to provide tertiary metal layers. Through holes are formed on the tertiary metal layers. The passage-forming core is dissolved and the manifold-forming cores are melted to provide a gas passage and manifolds.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1992Date of Patent: March 15, 1994Assignees: Ishikawajima-Harima Jukogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mishima Kosan Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kiwamu Imai, Masami Sayama, Kazuyuki Higashino, Kazuo Sano, Yasunori Omori, Hoshiro Tani, Yukinori Matsushima

Patent number: 4884625Abstract: The method consists in that a flat work in an initial position is oriented horizontally between cooled mold beams. Plasma torches are arranged in line across the parallel side edges so that the anode spots of the extreme torches are confined by said edges of the work. By supplying a plasma forming gas and electric current to the plasma torches the work is heated with the formation of a metal pool which extends across the work from edge to edge. By relatively moving the work and the plasma torches in a horizontal plane and along the edges of the work movement of the metal pool over the surface thereof is effected and thereby a remelted layer as thick as the pool is deep, is obtained. The apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a sealed chamber containing a mold having two beams arranged in a horizontal plane and being parallel to one another.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1984Date of Patent: December 5, 1989Inventors: Boris E.

Patent number: 4844747Abstract: A process of manufacturing a roll suitable for use in a rolling mill, the roll having a cylindrical barrel middle section and a neck at each end of the barrel, wherein the barrel and necks are of different material compositions, by remelting an electrode having a central region corresponding in mass and composition of materials to that desired for the barrel of the roll, two end regions corresponding in mass and composition of materials to that desired for the necks of the roll and a transition region disposed between the central region and each end region, each transition region including the material of the barrel and at least one further material. An electroslag remelting process is used in a water cooled mold. The mold is composed of at least two parts and defines a cavity approximating the final outlines of the roll. The mold has tapered transition regions between a part of the cavity corresponding to the barrel and the constricted cavity regions corresponding to the necks.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1988Date of Patent: July 4, 1989Assignee: Fried.

Patent number: 4815521Abstract: A method of producing a composite steel body shaft by using at least one cooling metal mold having a cavity of a diameter and a steel body having another cavity of another diameter both of which cavities are coaxially disposed to define a through-hole in which the remelting and solidifying of electrode is effected to provide a shaft portion connected to the hollow body. At a contact position defined by both the metal mold and the hollow steel body at which contact position the diameter of the through-hole is reduced step-wise, a space is provided so that the diameter of the through hole is reduced gradually without the step-wise reduction of diameter of the through hole so as to prevent the confining of slag from occurring at the contact position.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1987Date of Patent: March 28, 1989Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takaaki Sakai, Mitsuru Kuragano

Patent number: 4774991Abstract: A mould 13 which may be of graphite, ceramic material, or metal is formed with an internal surface 14 accurately machined to the required shape of the surface of the rotary dresser which is being formed. Diamond particles 15 are then adhered to the surface 14 by any suitable adhesive. A metal surfacing powder is then applied to build up a metal layer 16 by means of an arc plasma spray surfacing gun 20 to melt the powder particles and a high velocity gas flow to propel the particles onto the diamond coated layer. A layer of a low melting point dimensionally stable alloy may be cast on top of metal layer 16 onto the internal bore. The mould 13 is then removed and the external surface accurately ground to final form. A supporting steel core may be added.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1986Date of Patent: October 4, 1988Assignee: J.
