CHAPTER I
TOOL STEEL FOR THE UNITED STATES NAVY
Previous to 1909, each of the U. S. navy yards prepared requisitions for the purchase of tool steels for its own purposes. These requisitions either specified that proprietary material should be purchased or that the award of contract be based on information obtained by a test of some description on samples submitted by the bidders. By this method, there could be no uniformity in the specifications of the navy yards, and in order to centralize purchasing and to standardize the tool steels, a tool steel board recommended that the Philadelphia Navy Yard be made the purchasing station. This action was taken in 1909 and at that time specifications were drawn up for one high-speed steel and three grades of carbon steel.
The chemical composition required for the high-speed steel differed from that of any of the commercial brands, but the chemical composition of each grade of carbon steel corresponded to that of commercial tool steels. The three grades of carbon tool steel varied principally in their carbon content, in order to adapt them to the purposes for which such tool steels are generally used. The contracts were awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who was able to meet these specifications for tool steel of a chemical composition within the specified limits. The specifications required physical tests in addition to chemical analysis, as a part of the inspection, but these tests did not give decisive results and proved conclusively that it was advisable to revise the existing specifications. This step was taken because these specifications did not provide a means of ascertaining the relative merits of the tool steels offered by the different bidders, or of learning whether there were other tool steels that were superior to those within the specified limits of chemical composition.
In order to overcome these objections, a set of specifications was finally drawn up which are given in a later section of this chapter, as presented by Mr. L. H. Kenney in a paper before the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. These specifications require the bidders to submit samples of the tool steels which they offer for sale. The samples are manufactured into tools and subjected to physical tests devised to determine the relative merits of the different steels. The data obtained in this way constitute the basis for the award of contracts. In this set of specifications the chemical compositions are given the maximum and minimum limits, the purpose being to indicate to the bidder the kind of tool steel that is wanted, but the physical tests constitute the real basis for the award of contracts. The object of this provision is to introduce competition as to the quality of tool steels instead of simply having competition in price, to provide a means of learning something about the relative merits of the commercial tool steels, and to take advantage of the developments and progress made by the manufacturers in this industry. By this means, definite information can be obtained concerning the qualities of the different tool steels before the contracts are awarded for their purchase.
The study of tool steels which has been made possible by the adoption of this set of specifications is conducted under the direction of the engineer officer of the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The subject is divided into two general classes, one of which covers the high-speed or tungsten steels and the other the carbon tool steels.
Tungsten Steels
The limits of the chemical composition called for under the revised specifications were varied from those required by the original specifications in order to permit bidders to submit proposals on their commercial or standard tool steels, and the feature of a selective test was introduced. This selective test provides means for investigating the relative suitability of the different tool steels offered by bidders for the class of work for which the steel is required, and the recommendation for the award of contract is based on the information thus obtained. In order to obtain samples of tool steel for the selective test, the specifications require each bidder to furnish a sample bar of the steel which he offers. This bar is delivered to the engineer officer, under whose direction the selective tests are conducted. The heat-treatment of the tools, their chemical analysis, the condition of the physical test, and the computations necessary to determine the award of contract constitutes the selective test. A lathe tool selected for the physical test is kept cutting without lubricant until it fails by the sudden breaking down of the cutting edge, due to heating caused by friction of the chip. A record of the elapsed time of the run is made, which is the principal variable, other conditions being kept constant. After failure, each tool is reground, care being taken to remove the effect of the heat produced during the previous cut; the tool is then tested once more until it breaks down, as previously described. After the conclusion of this cut, the tool is reground and tested a third
