High-Speed Steel, Charge 3: Crucible-Melted Tungsten-Chrome-Molybdenum-Vanadium Steel (Carnegie & Gladwyn 1918)

High-speed steel holds its edge when it is cutting hot. In Sheffield it was made like other crucible tool steel: the best Swedish bar iron melted in small clay pots in a coke fire, with tungsten, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium added to the liquid iron. This is the third of three typical charges given by Carnegie and Gladwyn: 55 lb iron, 26 lb tungsten powder, 12 lb ferro-chrome, 9.5 lb ferro-molybdenum and 1 lb ferro-vanadium for 100 lb of steel. Source: D. Carnegie and S. C. Gladwyn, Liquid Steel (1918), pp. 74-77, 106-107 and 113. Unknown: how the Swedish iron, the tungsten powder, the ferro-molybdenum and the ferro-vanadium are made; the melting time; and how the ingot is worked into bar. The book stops at the liquid steel, so these are linked to unknown heads. Picture: the book's Fig. 29, crucible furnaces at Samuel Osborn & Co., Sheffield.

Weigh charge 3

For 100 lb of steel: 55 lb best Swedish bar iron, cut up; 26 lb tungsten powder (96 to 98 % tungsten); 12 lb ferro-chrome (60 % chromium); 9.5 lb ferro-molybdenum (80 % molybdenum); 1.0 lb ferro-vanadium (35 to 40 % vanadium). Unknown: how the Swedish iron, tungsten powder, ferro-molybdenum and ferro-vanadium are made. The book only lists them.

Set two clay crucibles in the melting hole

Tool steels are melted in small crucibles, about 55 lb each, two to a hole in a Huntsman coke furnace (ours: the 100 lb charge split between the two). Stand them on fireclay stands on the fire bars, straight from the annealing furnace, and fill the hole with coke up to their tops. Use the best washed coke, as free from sulphur as possible: sulphur gets into the steel even through the lid. When the pots are white hot, throw in a little sand to fuse them onto their stands.

Melt the iron, then add the alloys

Charge the cut iron, put on the clay lids, fill the hole with coke and close the cover. Renew the fire as it burns through. Add the tungsten powder and ferro-alloys to the liquid iron and melt them in. Unknown: the melting time and temperature for this charge. The book says only that tool steel takes longer than ordinary steel. About 3½ tons of coke go to each ton of high-speed steel.

Pull out, skim and teem

Lift each pot out with the pulling-out tongs (arms and legs covered with wet sacking), take off the lid and skim the slag with a mop, then pour the steel into ingot moulds. Unknown: the ingot size. A clay crucible lasts about 3 heats.

Work the ingot into round bar

Unknown: how the ingot is heated, hammered or rolled, and annealed into round bar. Carnegie and Gladwyn stop at the liquid steel, so this step is linked to an unknown head until a source gives it.
