Application of the Thermit Process to Production of Carbon and Alloy Steel Castings for Naval Service
Abstract
The following improvements have been made in the thermit steel casting process; For casting purposes, a special grade of thermit has been developed which is less violent in its reaction than the welding thermit mixture previously employed. A mounting fixture has been developed which simplifies the operation of the process and makes it more widely applicable. It has also been demonstrated that the thermit class B steels have tensile strength, ductility, fatigue and impact strength, and weldability equal to furnace-smelted steels.
