83, ES ae > a = 8, The Iron Age >. eee A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. Published every Thursday Morning by Davin Witx1ams, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter, Vol. XXXII: No. 3. The Siemens Direct Process. In a recent paper bearing the above title, Mr. James Davis, of the new steel works at Landore, England, embodies the result of a long practical experience of the working of the Siemens direct process in making wrought iron direct from the ore. The ore to be smelted is broken up into fragments not exceeding the size of peas or beans, and to it is added lime or other fluxing material | in such a proportion that the gangue con- | tained in the ore and flux combines, with only a little oxide of iron, into fluid slag. A | charge, say 20 cwt. of ore, 12 cwt. of roll | or hammer scale, together with 6 cwt. of soft free coal well mixed together, is charged into the furnace when fully heated. The coal is charged with the ore. During the first hour very little gas is required, but after this the rotative velocity is increased, to- gether with the heat, for a short time. At this stage a rapid reaction is the result, the peroxide of iron, being reduced to magnetic oxide, commences to fuse, and at the same time metallic iron is precipitated, while the fluxing materials form a fluid slag, with the silicious gangue of the ore. The slow rota- tive action is again resorted to, when the mass of iron is turned over and over, pre- senting continually new surfaces to the heated lining and to the flame within the retator. As soon as the metal is gathered together alittle the slag is tapped, which brings with it sulphur and phosphorus ; the velocity at this point is increased to one revolution in five minutes, so as to gather up the loose masses of iron into five or six metallic balls. These are then shingled with a steam hammer or squeezers into a bloom, which, when reheated, is rolled into a bar similar to an ordinary puddled bar. The balls must be worked as quickly as possible, and then it will stand as much work as com- mon puddiled iron. With reference to the amount of coal used at the producers, Mr. Davis gave an abstract of reports of the working of the rotator at the Landore Works, from which it appears that ore ton of iron wae made to one tan of producer coal used with the direct process. Mr. Davis moreover suggests that the Siemens open-hearth furnaces should be worked in connection with this process, as all the small ore can -be utilized and the blooms can be used also to a great advantage and profit. As regards the statement made by G. W. Mayward, that the blooms are fit only for the open-hearth furnace, Mr. Davis states that he has worked the blooms which have been rolled into good merchant bars. The following results were obtained by analysis: Iron, 99.1988; silicon, 0.400; carbon, 0.150 ; phosphorus, 0.0502 ; sulphur, trace; manganese, 0.201. Fracture, good. A great deal has been said respecting the | class of bricks to be used in the lining of these rotative furnaces. Experience has peered that the drum should have 3'%-inch st fire-bricks all round, the ends to have a few bauxite or magnesia bricks just where the balls are mostly wearing. After testing the magnesia bricks made at Landore side by side with the bauxite, Mr. Davis finds that the magnesia stands the best Added to this is an oxide lining of about 2 inches in thickness, made with scale and ore. Mr. Davis ventures to say that, with proper care and management, the rotatorscan be kept in working order for at least three months without oupeae. At the end of that period probably the rings may want renewing, which would cause a delay of about three days only, so that with the cos’ being so low and the output good, it must necessarily be a commercial success. It has been proved without doubt that the chemical results are all that can be desired. The furnace is ar- ranged in the following manner: The gas is made in two ordinary Siemens producers —size, 8 feet by 7 feet by 7 feet—which are at the back of the regenerators. The gas comes through a fire-brick flue direct inw the furnace. There are two chambers filled with bricks forming a checker-work from top to bottom—size, 19 feet 6 inches high, by 7 feet 6 inches wide, by 1o feet long. These are called regenerators, and are worked alter- nately, the waste heat from the furnace passing first through one chamber and then through the other for certain periods, making the checker-work hot ; by this means we get hot air, and thus the furnace is heated to a high temperature. The drum, or rotator, is 10 feet 4 inches diameter inside and ro feet 4 inches long. There are four 14-inch diameter pipes for circulating water from front to back, keeping the tubes cool, which have two large bends for turning over the metal and for dividing it into five or six balls. This is one of the greatest improvements that has been made since the working of plant at Towcester, as there is no danger now of having a sliding charge. There is also a water cylinder at the back of the furnace, connected with the front by means of the four 1%-inch pipes, and which serves as a/| reservoir for keeping the top pipes full of | water, and especially for keeping the ring and back end of the furnace cool. The furnace is revolved on four wheels, driven by a small pinion working into a large spur- wheel, which is in segments, and fixed to the furnace by means of brackets. The furnace is carried on a carriage for convenience of removing for repairs, &c. The charge is taken up by elevators and deposited in a tank duri the time the furnace is working, and then, when ready to charge, a slide is removed and the furnace is charged in about to minutes. So far as the approximate cost of a ton of New York, Thursday, January 18, 188}. iron made by this process is concerned (work- ing two rotators jointly), Mr. Davis gives the following figures : Small somorrostro ore, 1 ton, at $2 per ton.. .$2.00 Hammer or roll seale, 12 cwt., at $2.5e per ton 1.50 Producer coal, 1 ton, at $1 75 per ton.......... 1.75 Reducing coal, 6 cwt., at $1.50 per ton... .... 0.43 Repairs and sundries.................... 1.25 IE BRIE chicos 40 veedpsnanaen cad comeccel eae ET ee rr Teer Te Tee eT $8.18 aisidssiacep aealam tines ions A New Process for Manufacturing Aluminum, No small degree of interest has been evinced in the alleged discovery of a cheap process for the production of aluminum. Several of our metal workers, in fact, are with steam. The potash is thus leached out, and the alumina left as a deposit. The potash liquor is then run off, boiled down, while the alumina precipitate is collected in sacks and dried. ing chloride of aluminum. The alumina de- posit thus obtained contains about 84 per cent. of pure alumina, while that which is ubtained by the old process of precipitation has only 65 = cent. Mr. Jones, the Wol- verhampton borough analyst, certifies that the constituents of Mr. Webster’s alumina deposit are as follows: Alumina, 84.10 ; sul- phate of zinc, 2.68 ; silica, 7.40 ; water, 4.20; alkaline salts, 1.62. In order to complete the process and convert it into aluminum, the chloride of aluminum is treated with so- dium in order to withdraw the metal. quite enthusiastic about it, stating that a firm in Philadelphia are prepared to furnish any desired amount at the low price of 40 cents per ounce. The Philadelphia firm are said to manufacture the metal by a process peculiarly their own, wholly independent of the invention of Mr. James Webster, of THE DAVIS | Hollywood, England, which is now attract- | anything exposed to c-rres'vo agents. The | anywhere. bronze can be rolled dow . to an exceedingly | ing so much attention in that country. If assurances can be verified, the discovery will be hardly second in value to the most impor- tant achievement thus far obtained in the department of metallurgy. We have been shown by a New York firm specimens of tableware plated with aluminum which had long remained in the same package with spoons made of silver, and which had not the faintest trace of oxidation, while the silver was deeply corroded. Aluminum, were it not for its high price, could be most advan- in the arts, but the impossibility hitherto of | producing it at a low cost has always pre- Aluminum may be successfully alloyed with copper, silver and other metals, and is used for the manufacture of bismuth bronze, aluminum bronze or any other alloys. The former is especially adapted fer marine pur- poses, for ship fittings, screw propellers or | | mL NEW DIRECT ACTING fine gauge, or may be usé 1 for the manufac- ture of drinking and cubinary vessels, dish covers, knives, forks, spoons, razors or other | articles that are now ean plated. One of | the chief points of interest in connection with | the metal is its extreme lightness, and if, as is claimed, it can be prodaiced at so low a cost as to warrant its cxteasive application | for practical purposes, there can be no doubt | that results hitherto unattainable will no |longer be impossible. As compared with tageously employed for a number of purposes | cast iron, bronze, wrought iron and steel, the characteristics of aluminum are as in the | | subjoined table : sented a serious obstacle to its more ex-| > wi | 9x woo tended use.

Mr. Webster conducted his experiments with great secrecy, and it is stated that only his most intimate friends were admitted to his laboratory. We are informed that a French syndicate have just offered some- | what over $1,000,000 for the patents for France alone, while companies in other coun- tries are proposing even larger sums for the right of manufacture. When the news of the alleged discovery first reached this city, a well-known gold and silver refiner said that so-called cheap processes for making alu- |minum had been discovered periodically in the last 15 years, but he had never seen any | of them amount to much. Aluminum is now almost entirely obtained from the Aluminum Society of Paris, and, though before the | Franco-Prussian war it was said that the | metal was turned out in England and Ger- |many, it was found that when Paris was | under siege the metal could not be obtained ia) Ur ALI ——$— TSO —— = = | Fig. 1.—Perspective Elevation ’:; First Engine Built. ENGINE. Thus far, it is said, no process has yet been found that can compete with the production of this society, and the gen- tleman above referred to thought that the new process spoken of could not be in opera- tion, since in this country the market would necessarily be affected to an appreciable extent. Aluminum is now worth about $1.25 per ounce, troy weight, and, in consequence of this price, not more than a ton per annum is used in this country. Subsequent develop ments will, however, show whether the pro cess of either the Philadelphia firm or Mr Webster, of England, is of any value, and if such be the case it cannot be doubted that a serious revolution is in store for our metal markets, - — - M. Trousseau, a French scientist, is said to have recently succeeded in measuring the electrical conductibility of the power con- ductors, particularly of glass. He found common glass to be very perceptibly conduc- tive, Bohemian glass less so, while cut glass was found to have no sensible conducting | powers. M. Dumas regards this classifica- | tion as repeating, from the electrical goes of | view, the one which he established as depend- | ent on the presence of alkaline salts in the 82.50 a Year, Including Postage: Single Copies, Zen Cents. vitreous mass ; of these, cut glass has none, Bohemian glass very little, and common glass a considerable quantity. — The Davis New Direect-Acting Steam Engine. The engine the illustrations of which accompany the present article is so remarka- ble in its design and operating mechanism, and so entirely out of the course of usual engineering, that the reader may find no small difficulty in following its motions and understanding its operation. It has the exceedingly novel features of fixed cylinders and a direct connection between the crank and piston, without the inter- vention of a connecting-rod or slotted crosshead. The engine is from the designs of Mr. J. T. Davis, 357 West street, New York City. Like many another in- vention, this engine is the result of neces- sity. The designer was called upon to build a machine of large power, capable | of being set up with the least possible need for foundation, and at the same time capable of being taken apart, packed on the backs of mules and sent into the mountains. The design, then, called for a construction which should be self-contained, with the smallest possible weight in each individual member combined with a maximum power. In the engine illustrated, which was built for ex- periment and to illustrate the principles, only two cylinders are used ; but where great power is required, a cylinder is placed on each end of each piston-rod, the lower ones taking the places of the guides shown as car- rying the prolongations of the piston-rods. In the engine which we show the cylinders are 6 inches in diameter by 12-inch stroke, and if four of them were used there would be something like 50 horse-power developed at an ordinary speed. This engine occupies a space 4 feet high, 4 feet wide by say 2 feet 6. With 12 by 12 inch cylinders, the size for which the frame was intended, the space occupied would ke 4 feet high, 4 feet wide, by 3 feet in the direction of the length of the shaft, and such an engine would easily de- | velop 400 horse-power at a speed of 300, cut- ing off at 4%, and carrying say go pounds of steam. We have not gone into the calcu- ations thoroughly, but Mr. Davis has given | us some figures in regard to a large engine, |and from which we judge that 5000 horse- | power can be easily put into a space 8 feet high, 9 feet wide and 6 feet in length. In the present engine the easiest possible con- struction was used in the valve motion, and four eccentrics were put on, driving a link | motion for each cylinder. When an engine is completed with four cylinders, however, | the whole of the four link motions will be |driven by two eccentrics, the rods being | taken at various angles, performing the work for each cylinder. Before passing to a detailed description of the engine we must say a word in regard to the very peculiar crank motion by which the rectalinear motion of the piston is con- verted into arotary. A “floating” crank, as it may be called (C, in Fig. 1), performs precisely the same motion as the movable part of a pair of trammels for drawing ellipses, and if prolonged its ends would move in elliptical lines. There is a point, however, just half way between its two ex tremities, which must of necessity move in a circle. A return crank, B, on the inside is connected by a crank-pin with a crank on the main shaft, and in this way, while the floating crank is revolving in one direction, the return portion causes the crank on the shaft to revolve in the opposite direction. The result of this duplex motion upon the |main shaft is very similar to that of two | cylinders, set at right angles to each other, | working on a common crank, there being no | “centers” and a very uniform motion. Ip this case, however, the cylinders have twice | the length of streke of the main crank | Fig. 1 is a perspective elevation of the first |engine constructed, and which is now run |ning at the inventor’s shop. Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are diagrams of similar engines, in which, | however, one of the cylinders is placed in a | vertical and the other in a horizontal posi- tion. The center lines of the cylinders are in all cases at right angles to each other. Fig. 5 is a diagram given for the purpose of enabling the reader to follow the motions of the piston-rods and cranks through a full revolution by the application of a pair of compasses to it. Fig. 4 will perhaps give the reader the best idea of the construction of the crank, which in some respects ré sembles a crank of the three-throw pattern. Two of the cheeks or disks, however, con stitute an idler or floating crank, which is directly connected to the two piston-rods. The vertical piston-rod carries a box which is attached to the outer crank-pin A Figs. 1, 3 and 4). The middle pin is at tached to the piston-rod of the horizontal cylinder at C, in Fig. 4. The connection is made by a pair of brasses similar to those used in ordinary connecting-rods. The third crank-pin B, Fig. 4, has a bearing in the outer end of the main crank-arm. This is fast in the middle piece of the floating crank. The piston-rods project past the crank-pins and pass through guides, as shown in Fig. 1. The inner crank-arm, which is fast on the driving shaft, revolves in a circle in the same way as an ordinary crank, with the exception that its length as we have said, only one-quarter of the stroke of the piston, instead of one-half. As the crank-pins A and C must alway, (see Is, ¢ ~ AN Ss ON I A BRASS & COPPER CO., No, 19 Cliff Street, Ips Building, NEW YORK, MANUFACTURERS OF BRASS AND COPPER Waterbury Brass co, Sheets, Bolts, Rods, Wire, &c.

TASKER, move at right angles to each other, it is evident that the long arm of the floating crank has a very peculiar motion. Thus, starting from the positions A, B and C in the diagram Fig. 5, during the first quarter revolution it lies at varying angles at the left of the vertical line. During the next quarter it inclines in the opposite direction and to the right of the vertical 5 ' if | |line, while during the third quarter the jend that was previously at the bottom |reaches the top and continues so during the remaining portion of the stroke. This | floating crank seems to revolve in a direc- tion opposite to that of the main shaft. Its position may be found at any position of the | piston by means of the diagram Fig. 5. Fig. 3.—Section of Engine Shown in Fig. 2. | Suppose, for example, that the parts are in the position shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the three crank cheeks or arms being then all in line. The black dots in Fig. 5 will then rep- shown. |completely over and the reversing accom ; on through all the other numbered letters, similar numbers indicating simultaneous posi tions. Twelve positions are. plotted on the diagram, and it is easy to follow the parts throughout the stroke The advantages claimed for this engine by the designer are in the cheapness of construc- tion and the compactness of the parts, and the fact that no fly-wheel is required, be- | The Davis Engine.—Fiy. 2.—Front View of Engine With Horizontal and Vertical Cylinders, cause one or the other of the pistons is always in such a position as to be able to exert its full power in producing a rotary motion. We have seen the original engine run at a speed of about 300 revolutions per minute with only a light 2-foot pulley on the shaft, The engine is provided with a link motion, the reversing lever of which is seen in Fig, | je~ — — -444014° — - — 1c —-——— — 25 -- -— - : ‘pelo aii marae Fig. 4.—Plan of Engine 1.

Now, set the pair of compasses to the rods A B, or, what is the same, in the effective length of the middle crank-arm. When the outer crank-pin A is moved to the position A’, then B will have passed around to the position B', and the middle pin C will have moved from the posi tion C toC'. At this time the outer crank will occupy the position indicated by the dotted line A' C'. When A is moved tw the position A?, B will have reached B’, and so work, as the reversing lever can be worked from the pilot-house without difficulty In Figs. 2, 3 and 4 the eccentric motion for driving the valves is shown in its sim form. From its compact form the engi1 has excited a good deal of interest amor engineers, and we believe that it has been inspected by several naval engineers from Washington, with a view to ascertaini: adaptability for naval purposes, its great power, small weight and the direct tran mission of the strains makiny it especially desirable. emg =a = ~ ams ' I a ' at ! ‘7 i ; . ‘ ’ a" Bi | cr “a i 2 4 i “~ ae 2 oe 4 THE IRON AGE.
