A method of manufacturing mechanical parts from the raw material of metal scrap such as shavings and turnings of castings and steel and press chips of steel, includes the steps of: preparing the metal scrap including shavings and turnings; forming a billet by pressing metal scrap; heating the billet to the forging temperature, whereby a satisfactory plasticity is given to the billet for plastic deformation of metal scrap in the succeeding process; and forming the heated billet into a forged workpiece by use of a semi-closed forging die. The shape of the billet is determined such that, in this forging step, the respective portions of the billet are subjected to plastic deformation having a given plastic deformation rate, whereby material flow sufficient to generate metallic bond at the respective portions is caused, and burred portions are formed on portions of the forged workpiece mainly subjected to extrusion press during die-forging. |

A system for drying and preheating small metallic particles such as chips, turnings, borings and the like to remove volatiles therefrom which includes a dryer working in conjunction with a briquetting press. The dryer includes a drying and preliminary combustion chamber including a revolving drum therein through which the chips pass. The drying and preliminary combustion is heated and is atmospherically sealed and operated with a reducing atmosphere. The volatiles driven from the metallic particles are passed to a combustion completion chamber which is maintained at a temperature sufficient to burn the combustibles and into which air is injected to complete the combustion. The hot metallic particles are thermally insulated and sealed from the atmosphere while being conveyed from the drying and preliminary combustion chamber to the briquetting press where they are compressed into briquettes for subsequent introduction into induction furnaces and the like. |

Methods are disclosed for embrittling scrap metal for comminution and for subsequent or simultaneous treatment of the comminuted metal powder to improve sintering kinetics and prevent oxidation of alloying ingredients. A first embrittling method impacts the scrap metal at a temperature below its ductile-brittle transition temperature to cryogenically provide scrap metal powder. The scrap metal is subjected to two impacting operations (such as by use of a ball milling machine), the first operation being carried out simultaneously with the cryogenic medium and the second impacting operation is carried out at ambient temperature conditions utilizing milling elements which impart cold work to at least a portion of the cryogenic powder. An anti-oxidation agent, such as copper or iron, is mechanically transferred to substantially each particle of said cryogenic powder during the second operation to form a continuous copper or iron envelope thereabout. The coated cryogenic powder is then compacted and sintered; the sintered product may be subjected to hardening or tempering treatments if desired. Also disclosed is a continuous method for carrying out both cryogenic embrittlement impaction, and coating. A mass of liquid N.sub.2 and metal pieces are circulated in a properly oriented tube so that in one zone a true slurry exists with liquid N.sub.2 in intimate contact with the metal pieces; in another zone the metal pieces are withdrawn from the slurry to momentarily increase in temperature. Fragmenting occurs substantially in said one zone and cold-working substantially in said another zone, while progressive anti-oxidation coating of the comminuted particles occurs in both zones.A second embrittling method involves dissolving the carbon in ferrous scrap metal having a critical predetermined carbon content, quenching the metal to produce substantially all martensite, and impacting the treated metal while simultaneously coating with an anti-oxidizing agent. |

A method is disclosed of making sintered parts with cryogenically-produced powder derived from scrap metal, such as machine turnings. The scrap metal is subjected to two impacting operations (such as by use of a ball milling machine). The first operation is carried out with the use of a refrigerating agent (to lower the temperature of the scrap metal below its ductile-brittle transition temperature) thereby resulting in comminution of the scrap to a cryogenic powder. The second impacting operation is carried out at ambient temperature conditions utilizing milling elements which impart cold work to at least a portion of the cryogenic powder; simultaneously, copper is mechanically transferred to substantially each particle of said cryogenic powder to form a continuous copper envelope thereabout. The coated cryogenic powder is then compacted and sintered; the sintered product may be subjected to hardening or tempering treatments if desired. |

The invention relates to a process for obtaining steels having improved machinability. This process provides for the upgrading of divided metallurgical products, which are consolidated without fusion, with incorporation of a dispersed phase.This process is used in particular for scrap consisting of sheet metal or turnings, which is mixed in the desired proportion with an additive such as for example sulfur or lead. After it has been compressed the mixture is extruded in a press in the form of bars and the like.This process is particularly suitable for producing stainless steels containing sulfur or lead. The lead stainless steels thus prepared have an excellent corrosion resistance, in addition to their machinability characteristics. |

This disclosure relates to an apparatus for making metal briquettes for foundry operations from oily particulate material. The briquettes are made, for example, from oily metal particles, such as metal turnings, which are fed to a furnace to burn the oil therefrom. In the furnace, the particles are heated to a high temperature of, for example, 1,200* to 1,400* F. The heated and deoiled particles are passed directly to a hopper which feeds the briquetting mechanism. The temperature of the deoiled particles is sensed and is maintained within a predetermined range for briquetting by adjusting the feed to the furnace in accordance with the sensed temperature. The amount of deoiled particles in the feed hopper is controlled to prevent overflow of the feed hopper and to maintain the density of the briquettes by sensing the level of deoiled particles in the feed hopper and adjusting the speed of the briquetting rolls accordingly to maintain the proper level.
