It is proved that the subalgebra of constants of a derivation on a free associative algebra in prime characteristic is free provided that some constraining conditions are satisfied. As a particular case, it follows that the constants of the partial derivatives on a free algebra form a free subalgebra. The main result is also applied in order to provide a simplified proof of a previous result by the author on extensions of tensor rings.
