The Ibrugger Cupola Furnace. The Ibriigger cupola, the invention of | Gustav Ibriigger, of Norden, is under the | control of Dirks & Co., of Leer, Germany, | and is being introduced in this country by Mr. E. J. Schmitz, of New York. The cupola consists of the shaft A, below which is the receiver B, separated from the shaft by an arched roof pierced by the holes a a. The receptacle C serves*as a heating cham- ber for the charge of wrought scrap, and is provided with a flue at K for taking off the waste gases. N is an opening for cleaning out the slag; F, Fig. 2, a tap-hole for run- ning off the melted iron, and E an opening for raking out unconsumed coke. The upper part of the shaft is protected against excess- ive wear by the wrought-iron frames H. The cupola is charged with pig in the usual way, the scrap to be used being placed in the preheating chamber C through the door G. Blast is supplied through the main L to the lower series of tuyeres 6, which, it will be noticed, do not lie in the same horizontal plane. The greater portion of the carbonic oxide formed in front of the tuyeres, finding greater resistance to its passage upward through the charge than downward through the holes a a, passes into B, where it is supplied with fresh air through the branch of the tuyere-pipe D, Fig. 2, and its flue in the roof of the receiver. In this manner the receiver B is heated, the gases of combustion, escaping through the flue K, preheating in their way the scrap piled up in the chamber C.

The molten iron drops through the openings @ a into the receiver B, in which it to some extent undergoes a fining process. Whenever necessary, the scrap, which has been et to a pasty condition, and, as it is clai , been to some extent carbonized by the action of the gases, is pushed into the bath and stirred, after which a fresh supply of scrap is placed in C. After the scrap is dissolved in the pig bath, a product is obtained containing about 24% per cent. of carbon, and which becomes eighty malleable at a red heat. For small castings 2 to 3 per cent. of wrought iron scrap is added, for medium 10 per cent., while for large pieces of machinery 30 per cent. or more 18 used. The loss of iron during melting is about 6 per cent. The table a. gives the percentage of coke consumed with a vary product of iron, also with a stee serap addition of from 6 to 15 per cent, The iron recommended for this cupola is a pig of inferior oar, high in silicon, but as free as possible from mangan- ese, the icular pig mentioned being Mid- dlesboro’ No. 3, Ayresome brand. There are at present from 10 to 20 lbriigger furnaces in Germany, and several in France and Belgium, not counting a number that are now in pro- cess of construction. The first furnace of this kind was erected by Messrs. Dirks & Co., in January, 1883, and has been in use ever since on stove and other castings. An- alysis of castings where this cupola was used by a,German firm who make a specialty of malleable cast iron gave the following re- sults : © Ayresome No. 3, with 10 ¢ w't Ayresome No. 3. iron scrap.

Other German foun- dries use a mixture of half Scotch No. 1, costing about $17.25, and half Middlesboro’ No. 3. German roll manufacturers use half German No. 1, at $17.25, with half No. 3, at $14.50, the product, they claim, being equal to that secured with charcoal iron costing about $22.25 per ton. For casting hard rolls a pig iron containing as high as 1% per cent. manganese is recommended, which, on the addition of scrap, gives a metal of great hardness. The cost of an Ibriigger cupola in Germany is estimated at about $250, an ordinary cupola costing about $150 in the same country. The cost of repairs for the Ibriigger cupola is said to be no more than in the ordinary cupola, except that the ‘dripping stones” in the roof of the chamber B have to be renewed occasion- ally. The lining of the cupola and the vault are made by preference of basic brick. The principal advantages claimed for this cupola are that a low grade of pig can be used; that a very consider- able quantity of wrought serap may be added, waen needed, without impairing the fluidity of the metal ; that the removal of the melted iron at once from the shaft per- i] \ | | | AA | | il Ih | i + o — Sen ee, ene ws THE IBRUGGER CUPOLA FURNACE. ; mits of the tuyeres being placed at a lower level, and that the thorough utilization of the waste gases saves fuel. ee METALLURGICAL NOTES. New Method of Producing Steel Plates. Dr. Henry Muirhead, president of the Physiological Society of Glasgow, has recently brought before that body some par- ticulars of a method of manufacturing steel plates for shipbuilding and boiler-making purposes which is of much interest. It is the invention of Mr. Joseph Whitley, of Leeds, who has erected works for prosecuting the manufacture. Briefly describing the process, Dr. Muirhead said; ‘‘A hollow metal cylinder lined with gannister or other brick revolves at high speed, the axis being horizontal. A gutter or rhone perforated with holes passes into the interior along its whole length. Into this gutter is poured melted mild steel, which, escaping through the holes, is carried round by the swiftly- revolving case, and centrifugally is formed into an inner cylinder of steel of an inch or more in thickness. This cylinder, while still hot, is drawn out, cut across by a saw, put into a rolling mill, and rolled to the length and thickness uired.” Mr. Whitley writes ; ‘Suppose I wish a plate for ship- building ; then, say, given a mold 5 feet in diameter and 5 feet long ; in it I cast a cyl- inder an inch thick. This, when taken out and cut, is fully 15 feet long and 5 feet broad. It is then rolled down to half an inch in thickness, Such a plate is then 30 feet long and 5 feet broad, for we can ar- range that the displacement of the thickness shall be chiefly endwise. The present mold is 9 feet long and 5 feet in diameter. With it 1 successfully cast a mild-steel shell— weight of metal about 30 cwt. This makes the long-looked-for, but now no longer | doubtful, fact a historic fact in mapainteley science. Hitherto, these plates have been made from large ingots, which have been burnt on the outside while getting heated to the center. It is the overheated portion that gives way in collisions, boiler burstings, &e. In my process the whole plate is homo- geneous throughout, and the tensile strength is so much increased that when ships collide there is no rending or fracture ; and though the bilge is made to collapse, the ship, still floating, can sail into port to get rebilzed— recontoured. Of course, tubes of smaller size can be mhanufactured centrifugally, and these are especially suitable for connections about steam boilers, where in lap-welded tubes breakage is apt to take place at the overlap.” Iron and Steel Permanent Way. At the last meeting of the British Iron and Steel Institute, Mr. Walter R. Browne read a paper entitled ‘‘ Iron and Steel Permanent Way,” in which he showed the advantage of using metallic sleepers on railways. After a few general remarks on the English and German railways, he sums up in the follow- ing statements the experience in Germany - =e | with iron sleepers: 1. The corrosion of the sleepers, as to which fears were once ex- pressed, is found to be insignificant. Like | the rails, they do not rust so long as the traf- ‘fic is frequent and regular, and no shorten- ing of their life is to be feared from this |cause, 2. The elasticity of the road, as to | which doubts have also been expressed, is rfectly satisfactory, no complaints having n heard as to hardrunning. 3. The con- nection of the rails to the sleepers has | proved a matter of some difficulty, but satis- | factory results have been attained. Double- head | end these chairs rest on the flat top of the |sleeper, and can be bolted to it in the ‘ordinary way. 4. The point which, in Ger- /many, has been found to give most trouble is the tendency of the sleepers to shift end- /ways when laid upon sharp curves. This question is ably discussed in a recent paper | by Herr Meyer, of Berlin. He observes that wooden sleepers offer greater resistance than iron ones to such endways motion, for three reasons, In the first place their weight is greater, and they are, _ therefore, less disturbed by sudden shocks. 2. Their ends have a much larger area to bear against the ballast, in which they are in general deeply regretted. 3. Their coefficient of friction with the ballast is very much higher, not merely because timber is rougher than iron, but be- cause the sharp gravel actually bites into the soft wood, as it cannot do into the hard metal. In Germany this difficulty has been overcome in two ways—either by bending down the ends of the sleeper, or by riveting angle-irons or other dividing plates to its bottom. The sleepers, made of Bessemer steel, are rolled from ingots 10% inches square in a three-high mill, and come out as bars 60 to 70 feet long, which are afterward cut into’ lengths. They are then punched with six holes for the chairs, the holes being punched from both sides, so as to make them slightly tapered in the middle. The rails can only be secured in chairs, | ‘chairs are of steel, made from cross-ends of | A Western Iron Warehouse. rails and other scrap.

The building occupied by the Chicago branch of Jones & Laughlins, Limited, is in the general shape of a triangle. The princi- pal front is on West Lake street, on which it oT | measures 152 feet It extends back on Cee Canal street 263 feet, and its third side, | which is along West Water street, is 310 {| 0 | feet in length. The floor space in the iron | warehouse alone is 17,500 feet. This part of | the building is one story high, and occupies the back end of the plot above described. The tracks of the P., F.W. & C. R. R., the C., M. & St. P. R. R. and other important lines run through Water street adjacent to the building, so that a switch which extends alongside of the warehouse, and accommo- dates eight cars, and another which runs into the building and holds five cars under cover, afford unexcelled facilities for receiv- ing goods from Pittsburgh and for shipping them again to the West and Northwest. Bar iron, for example, can be landed almost di rectly in the racks which are provided to receive it, and it can be shipped again on or- | der with just as little handling. The mair building, which is in front of the iron ware- | house just mentioned, is three stories high ‘and affords a floor space of 38,000 square feet. Both of these buildings, when we examined them recently, were more than comfcrtably full of goods, An idea of the amount of stock carried may be gained from the general statement that it invoices from 5000 to 6000 tons. This is to be regarded as the stock required for local and job- bing trade, and as a reserve, for, so far as possible, large orders are filed direct from the works and are shipped through to destination without breaking bulk in Chicago or being transferred. Messrs. Jones & Laughlins were among the pioneer branch houses started in Chicago. They com- menced business at the corner of South Water and Franklin streets the price of timber is ever getting higher, | ia 1858, and after repeated removals as the and a very slight change in this respect | growth of their business made it necessary, would bring the two to an equality.
