The present invention relates to a series of alloys for high temperature and magnetic uses, and more particularly to the method and processing technique essential to produce physically sound high quality materials.
Heretofore, certain known alloys of aluminum and iron possessed excellent oxidation resistance when heated to a high temperature in air. However, such alloys were weak in structure and lacked high temperature strength, and desired malleable characteristics such that they could be formed into any desired shape. To take advantage of the high temperature oxidation and hightemperature strength possibilities the aluminum content of these alloys must be rather high [minimum of about Al]. Considerable difficulty, however, was encountered in-melting,- casting, rolling, and processing, even binary AlFe alloys, into cold rolled sheet form when the aluminum content exceeded 10%. Moreover, due to the inherent brittle characteristics of the binary Al-'-Fe alloys with the Al content exceeding 10% no successful method has been devised heretofore to produce a usable and workable sheet material from such alloys, having strengthening additives such, for example, as Mo, V, Ti, Ta, Cb, Cr, W, and B. Nor was it possible heretofore to hot and cold roll such materials containto Stephen Girard Lax,

From the foregoing table of stressqupture data the following conclusions are obvious:
(I) The basic binary alloy containing about 16% Al, the remainder iron, -in the cold rolled sheet form, with no heat treatment has a very 'low high temperature strength.
'(2) The addition of elements such as M0, V, and Ti definitely improve the-high temperature strength.
(3) Coupled with the aforesaid additives, 'maximum high temperature strengths are attained by -a heat treatment of about I050 C. for about 2 hours followed by a still air cool. The effectiveness 'of this'heat treatment can be seen try-comparin samples 3 and 4 in the table.
(4) The percentage of aluminum 'and 'iron present 'in the alloy as shown inth table, in combination with the other elements greatly improves the high temperature strength. This can be shown by comparing samples 2 and 5 in the table.
(5) Higher percentages of elements, siic-h'a's -Mo, increase the high temperature strength. However, the'reis a "practical limit on cold rolled areencountered.
(6) The addition of the etements such'as-Mo, V, and Ti -is for the purpose of increasing the -high temperature strength of the basic Al ing the existingferritic solid 'solutiono'r by precipitating a. strengthening second phase. These element additions appear to have very little'efle'ct upon the grain size or oxidation resistance of'the resultant alloys.

Moreover, when a fine grained sheet material is desired the cold rolled sheet alloys may be recrystallized at about 750 C. for 1 hour. By actual tests it has been found that this recrystallized fine grain size is only possi-- ble from cold worked sheet alloys.
Material fabrication method Melting and casting The melting of the aforesaid alloys may be performed in any suitable type of melting furnace, such for example, asa vacuum or controlled atmosphere induction furnace. For the purpose of clarity in describing the operations, an example melt of 16% All, 3.3% Mo, 80.7% Fe will be described. The is to melt the iron and molybdenum under vacuum. The melting is preferably carried out in a magnesium oxide crucible. After the elements are completely melted, wet and dry hydrogen gas is passed over the melt. This operation is performed for the purpose of decarburizing and deoxidizing the iron-molybdenum molten solution. Helium is now introduced into the tank to displace the hydrogen. When the gaseous mixture in the furnace chamber no longer supports a combustion, it will be understood that such action removes most all of the hydrogen that may have been dissolved in the molten alloy. Helium is introduced again into the furnace chamber until one atmosphere of helium is present. At this time the 16% of aluminum is added to the melt and the furnace chamber is again evacuated [using a vacuum pump] to a pressure of 5 millimeters of helium. When this pressure is attained, and the optimum pouring temperature reached, the melt into a suitable mold for shaping the material into a final cast shape or it may be poured into aningot or slabtype mold, forming an ingot or slab for subsequent roll ing, swaging or extrusion into strips, sheets, rods, wire or other shapes.
The operation of pumping down to 5 millimeters of helium pressure after the aluminum addition and prior to Pouring is an important and essential step in the process. First, it removes the hydrogen from the molten alloy, thus producing sound castings. Secondly, coupled with the mold design it promotes a more desirable solidification rate for the molten alloy thus producing a highly desirable fine and equiaxed cast grain size. If thesame melt is poured at one atmosphere of helium, using the same mold, a large grained columnar cast structure would result. When the same melt is poured at one atmosphere of helium into a ceramic mold an equiaxed structure results and a much larger grain size is evident. Thus by the aforesaid treatments it is apparent that it is possible to produce the type of cast grain formation and size of cast grain by varying the rate of solidification of the alloy.
By actual test it has been found that casting such alloys in a steel slab mold under a vacuum of 5 mm. of helium and containing 16% A1, 3.3% Mo, and 80.7% Fe produced a desirable fine equiaxed cast grain structure, the casting in a steel slab mold under one atmosphere of helium produced a less desirable large columnar cast grain structure and the casting in a ceramic mold under one atmosphere of helium produced a large and equiaxed cast grain structure.
It will be understood that the formation ot a fine equifirst step in the melting operation is poured. Pouring may be either axed cast grainstructure is an important step in the production'of good quality material. Large columnar cast.

This operation prevents u the cast slab from cracking during rapid cooling'following solidification after the heat treatment, if desired, the" slab may be machined free of surface imperfections be fore beginning the hot rolling-operations. 'Machined to crack severely during hot-working.
Hot rolling After melting, casting and conditioning the'slab, the hot rolling operation is in order. The slab is hot rolled to about 0.250" in thickness at a temperature of 1050" C. The reductions in thickness between reheatings and v the reductions per pass through the mill are based upon the-mill capacity and the rate at which the strip loses heat. Rolling is stopped and reheating is necessary when the strip drops in temperature to a dull red heat. At a thickness of about 0.250", the hot rolling is performed at about 950 ,C. When the strip has been finished to about 0.125 or preferably 0.1", the cold rolling operation is in order.
It has been found during the rolling operation that some of the aforesaid materials can be successfully hot.
rolled in the Sendzimir Hot Mill reducing a 1.0" slab to about 0.1" thick in one pass.
Conditioning'prior to cold rolling Any surface imperfections present on the hot rolled strip may be removed prior to thebeginning of the cold rolling operation in the aforesaid manner. The removal of the imperfections will not effect the material. In 7 reality this operation improves the surface of the material for the final cold rolling operation.
Cold rolling This rolling operation is performed at about 575 C.,
and may be considered cold rolling for the reasons that the temperature is below the recrystallization temperature.
It will be understood that cold rolling denotes cold working the alloy at a temperature below the recrystallitemperature.
rolling process, the crystal structure remains unrecrystallized and the crystals are'elongated. Rolling at about 7 575 C. gives the material a regular cold worked appearance and elongates the grains into long'fibered structure. The greater the percentage of cold work, the higher the mechanical properties of the alloy .[tensile strength,
yield trength, hardness, impact strength, etc.]. Cold rolling may be performed to reduce the material to -a relatively thin gage, such, for example, as 0.002 of an inch or thinner.
Removal of oxide coating After rolling the material into strip form of a suitable thickness, it has a naturally formed coating of aluminum and iron oxides upon the surface.
should be stripped from the mold while'still red hot. The hotslab is then placed in a furnace at 1050 C. for about two If it is desired .to. remove this coating for any purpose, lspotwelding';
Cold rolled strip "of a reasonable thickness may ,be formed' and shearejd if warmed. The. exact temperature of warming is dependent. upon the forming configuration and material thickness of the alloy; V
The slabs or sheets. produced by the aforesaid method may be of any desired length andwi'dth and characterized by high tensile strength :and high resistance to.
corrosion .and oxidation at elevated temperatures. This material is. suffi'cientl'y ductile to be readily"worked' or. shape without damage or formed into any desired breakage thereof. Furthermore, it has been found by actual test that the metallic sheets produced in accordance with the present invention are about lighter than stainless steel alloys 'and the physical and chemical characteristics thereof include high tensile strength and high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. .Moreover, creep-rupture tests have proven that the aforesaid ma terial is far superior to some forms of the critical stainless steel alloys now being "widely used. It has been further found that because'of the high electrical resistivity of the aforesaid material, the material is admirably suited for use in heater elements, low temperature furnaces, and other numerous electrical appliances. It has also been found that due to the electrical resistivity and excellent magnetic characteristics of these cold rolled almay be removedby the folsolution by loys, these alloys are well. suited for magnetic applications.
