Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founding of Metals: A Practical Treatise on the Melting of Iron With a Descriptive of the Founding of Alloys In ten years spent at molding, and in the foundry business, and four years in traveling through the United States, in introducing a chemical flux, for iron, I have seen the lack of regularity, and the bad effects of it, in the construction and management of foundry cupolas and furnaces, and the want of a guide or rule for their construction and management. At the earnest solicitation of many foundrymen, I have undertaken the publication of this small work, with a view of throwing some light upon the subject of melting iron, and the construction and management of cupolas and furnaces - a subject that always seems to be enshrouded in mystery. All the theories that I have advanced in this work, are from notes taken from practical observation, while visiting different foundries, in the flux business, and from a chemical knowledge of the laws of combustion and heat, as well as of the laws of chemical affinity of one element for another. By giving a few explanations of causes and effect, I hope to establish some regularity in the melting of iron for foundry purposes. I have also added a few recipes for the forming of alloys, and a general description of all the metals, minerals and gases used in the art of founding, as well as their application, all of which I have endeavored to place before the reader, clothed in popular language, so that all who can read may fully understand this interesting subject; for this reason, I have endeavored to avoid using any of the chemical and technical terms which are usually applied to this subject, as they often have a tendency to embarrass, rather than to enlighten, the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Iron Founding The author, himself a foundryman, took up this work long after the completion Of his University training, and subsequently occupying a chair Of engineering at one Of the American mining schools. He therefore knew how unsatisfactory any work per formed must be to the thinking man if the reasons for so doing are not fully understood. Ever since 1890, therefore, he has worked in the laboratory and at cupola and furnace seeking the why and wherefore Of the things that lwere done and not done. In the course Of this scientific and practical experience, the author gained the Cooperation and friendship Of nearly all the world's great foundrymen - many Of whom are still with us; and his connec tion with the foundrymen Of America, as secretary Of their National organization for a seventh Of a century has put him rather closely in touch with the numerous and varied problems met within and without the foundry. In all this active - almost frenzied rush of work, the author hav ing made nearly quarter Of a million tons Of castings in his time the great need Of a thorough understanding Of the principles involved in iron founding was ever present, and as so little was definitely known every new problem when fully worked out meant a definite advance. American foundrymen and metallurgists can properly claim the credit for the modern foundry develop ment, and this because the disinterested workers gave the world the benefit Of their investigations. The transactions Of the foundryman's associations and the great iron trade journals are still the repositories of this growing fund Of information which nevertheless requires discriminating study to separate the kernel from the chaff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Iron-Founding IN addition to the ordinary teaching in connection with the School of Metallurgy of the University of Birmingham, special short courses of lectures dealing with local industries have been arranged from time to time. These have been delivered in the evenings, and have attracted considerable audiences. In the spring of last year, for the third time since the department was established in Mason College in 1885, the subject chosen was Cast Iron. There was no intention to publish these lectures when they were originally prepared, but so many requests were received for copies, not only from the audience, but also from distant parts, that, somewhat reluctantly, publication was at length decided on. It is hoped by this means that those who attended the lectures will have an opportunity of going once more over the same ground, whilst the information will also be rendered available for a wider public. At the same time it is realized that the lectures will lose in publication the advantages of practical illustration at the lecture table. The form most suitable for popular explanation is also, at times, not that most fitted for a written statement. Hence, though the general scope of the lectures has been retained, Opportunity has been taken to introduce some alterations and additions, which will, it is hoped, make the work more permanently useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Practical Metallurgy: Iron and Steel In connection with the development of this process, the work of: Mushet must not be overlooked. Following Bessemer were many who, stimulated by his success, introduced other processes of steelmaking. Of these processes, the foremost, and one that is gaining ground yearly, is that of the regenerative furnace associated with the name of Siemens. This furnace gave rise to the now well-known siemens-martin process of steel making. The product of this process is a very uniform steel, and one that ofi'ers wide adaptability for structural purposes, ship and boiler plates, castings, etc. The latest development of the siemens-martin process is that of the Talbot open-hearth continuous method of steelmaking, which attracted so much attention at the Spring meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute, 1900. At this meeting the probable substitution in the near future of Bessemer steel by that of the open-hearth (siemens-martin) make was discussed. The ever-increasing strin geney of the specifications now applied to steel lends much probability to the eventual suppression of Bessemer steel by that of open-hearth make. In connection with these two methods of steelmaking, the dephosphorization process of Thomas and Gilchrist must be mentioned, resulting in the pro duction of basic steel. Germany and Bri tain annually produce large quantities of steel from basic Bessemer converters or basic lined open-hearth plants, thus utiliz in g irons for the production of good-quality metal, which, under other conditions, would be useless from a steel making point of view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Foundry Irons This volume has been prepared at the earnest request of many founders seeking practical information on foundry irons and their manipulation in the production of the various lines of castings. It has been the aim of the author to present, in a condensed form, only such matter as is of practical value to the founder and to eliminate as far as possible all theories that have not been established as principles and all laboratory experimental work that has not been fully demonstrated to be useful in actual foundry practice. It has been endeavored to give all useful up-to - date data on the manipulation of Foundry Irons as actually practiced in foundries, by both the old and the new methods; and thus, it is hoped to place before the founder, foundry foreman, moulder and melter such a variety of methods that he cannot fail to oh tain desired results under any and all of the various conditions met with in the manipulation of these irons.
