Published Vol, RXXV: No METALLURGICAL NOTES. é, rreatment of Phosphoric Pig Iron. , patent has been granted to Sidney Gil- rist Thomas, 9 Palace Chambers, West- minster Bridge, London, for an improved »rocess by which phosphate of soda or pot- ash are manufactured from their carbonates .r hydrates by means of the phosphoric acid oroduced by oxidizing highly phosphoric molten iron in the presence of these bodies. The phosphoric iron employed to effect the jecomposition should be very high in phos- »horus, and should be first decarburized and jesiliconized in a silicous lined Bessemer -essel before running it into the vessel which contains the carbonate. The highly phosphoric iron made by smelting calcareous phosphoric slag with silicous phosphoric iron ore, or puddling cinder, is the material best adapted for the process. The phosphorus ontent of iron made in this way may be made to range between 6 and 30 per cent., snd an iron phosphite or ferrophosphorus ontaining very little carbon or silicon may be produced. The carbon in this phosphorus iron will, as a rule, be lower in adverse pro- portion to the content of phosphorus. hen the carbon and silicon have been thus re- juced very low by increasing the phos- phorus the metal may be run direct into the jecomposing furnace without prior decar- buration. Mr. Thomas prefers to effect the decomposition of the alkali in a Siemens gas furnace, though a converter may be used. This must have a basic or neutral lined hearth. If it is desired to convert the whole or nearly the whole of the phosphorus in the iron into sodic phosphate, it being assumed that sodic carbonate, as the cheap- ast salt, will be generally used, carbonate of about six times the weight of the phosphorus in the molten rs —_ to s the aot ition is employ as a charge. 'o a the commercially and tech- nically successful it is absolutely ne- essary to provide against the very considerable volatilization and loss of the alkali which, under ordinary circum- stances, would be so excessive as to be pro- hibitive. Before the molten metal is run in a part of the carbonate of soda is placed on the furnace hearth, previously brought to a high temperature, and covered with oxide of iron to retard its volatilization, and then immediately the molten metal is run in, when a brisk reaction atonce takes place. If it is for any reason specially convenient touse in the decomposing furnace phosphoric iron with a considerable content of carbon, say, over I percent., it is better to defer the addition of even the first part of the soda charge till the carbon is nearly removed. It is preferred to add the further quantity of soda making up the total charge by blowing itin through tuyeres, so as not to cause a too violent reaction. If the layer of slag grows so thick as to prevent the heat reach- ing the metal, and thus cooling the bath, a part should be run off, care being taken so to adjust the addition and tapping of slag as always to keep the iron quite fluid. When the reaction appears to be at an end and the metal to be deprived of its phosphorus, the slag is tapped off into bogies, and the metal every Thursday Morning by Davip WILLIAMS, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. cation consists mainly in substituting a gas chamber for the usual gas reservoir, and providing the gas chamber with a valved air port to permit a small percentage of air to enter. This air supports a low combustion prior to the complete combustion which takes place on the hearth, where the pre- heated air from the air regenerator meets the gas issuing from the gas chamber. Air and gas reversing-valves are provided, and also a reversing-valve for controlling the steamways. A metallurgic furnace operated by means of natural or other gas has been patented by T. G. Kirkpatrick, of Leechburg, Pa. The air and gas are not heated within a regenerator, as usual, but in a stove through which the waste products of combustion are made to rise. The products of combustion New 48-Inch Car-Wheel Boring Machine. Messrs. W. B. Bement & Son, of Phila- | delphia, Pa., are now hnilding the new car- | wheel boring machine shown in the annexed |cut. The tool when managed with a moder- ate degree of skill is capable of producing accurate and uniform work with great | rapidity, lending interest to the following | particulars: The frame has the general out- | line used for many years by this firm for ma- | chines of this class, and is unusually strong | The bearing of the revolving table is made |in the form of the Schiele curve, two such | parts of one continuous curve being com- | bined as will give the required vertical and | lateral suport, and at the same time main- tain their uniformity of bearing.

The wheels are raised and lowered by a vertical screw, which is caused to revolve rapidly in either direction by the movement of a lever, and upon which the crane-arm is threaded and can be swung to any position. The wheel is caught by hooks fitting the flange and raised to the proper hight. It is then swung inward until the crane-arm strikes a stop, when the wheel is centrally over the table, and can be lowered vertically into the chuck, no pushing or sliding being required.

Crossley Brothers, have deliv ered up to the present time more than 15,00) of their ‘‘ Otto” engines alone. Gas is now extensively used for iron smelting and steel converting, in the manufacture of glass, and in generating steam in connection with large industrial operations. At Carnforth, Lan dore, Swansea and elsewhere, iron and steel are treated entirely by gas as fuel, and at some of the largest collieries in the North of England the gas is conducted from the coke ovens to the furnaces and boilers, and so utilized in generating steam in lieu of coal firing. I could name very large works in ; Manchester and other places where gas only is used in the production of steam power It is found to be economical and effective, and less destructive to fire-bars and boilers than the coal fire. At the same time there is an absence of smoke and soot. I firmly believe, with the late Sir William Siemens, that the time is at hand when the | use of coal fires for producing steam will be |altogether abandoned. The present ex- travagant consumption of coal, partly, pos- | sibly, because it is very cheap, is nothing | less than a wanton waste of the latent en |ergy and reserve forces of our country. | There are but three natural products in | Great Britain of which we have sufficient | for our own requirements and something to | spare for exportation. These are coal, iron and salt. Our coal supplies are being ex- hausted at the rate of over 160,000,000 tons annually. At this rate, and the output is ever increasing, the time must come when our great subterranean coal store will be practi- }cally used up. Coal is not now being formed, and cannot be grown, as crops of corn or grass. Coal consumed is destroyed ; not so iron, however, which can be used over and over again. When prices are high coal is economized, and we then hear much about the limited duration of our coal supplies. Now that it is cheap we hear little or nothing on the sub- ject. It is, I believe, a fact that in the use of coal for firing steam boilers not more than 10 per cent. of the energy or heating power is utilized. The remainder, 90 per cent., is lost in smoke, soot and was heat. In open fires in dwelling-houses it is said that | not more than 3 per cent. is really utilized. Surely it is high time that steps were taken to diminish this willful waste, which may lead to woeful want. It is this waste which produces the soot and smoke which pollute the atmosphere, are so injurious to health and destructive to vegetation, works of art, buildings, &c. The more general use of gas as fuel for all purposes will hasten the real- ization of the picture of ‘‘ what London might be if its perennial pall of smoke were annihilated.” That it is possible finally ‘‘ to emancipate London from that pervading grime which makes life so intolerable to all who have not fallen from their native sense of cleanliness” is evident from the practical experience of many who bave tried the ex- periment of gas instead of coal for heating purposes. a - A New Indastrial Movement.—The | Society for Promoting Industrial Villages, a | British organization, of which Lord Shaftes- 8 MENT, Soh finished in the usual way.

If all the phos- phorus has not at this point been removed it is best to finish the removal with lime. In this case also the soda should only be intro- juced when the metal is entirely or nearly free from carbon. The slag obtained by either of the methods above described con- sists essentially of phosphate of soda or pot- ash. It may be used directly as a manure or lixiviated in tanks to free it from oxide of iron and other bases. Phosphate of soda may be obtained by evaporation of the solu- tion, or it may be otherwise utilized by well- known means. Plant and Processes. \ brick for regenerative furnaces, con- structed with tongues and grooves, s0 that all the bricks may interlock, has xeon patented by S. A. Richards, of /oliet, IN. The body of the brick is of sub- stantially uniform thickness. The top and ttom are smooth, but each side is pro- vided with two projecting vertical ribs, equidistant from the center of the brick. Between the ribs is thus formed a vertical “roove, preferably of wave-like contour in ross-section, This groove is adapted to ‘ceive the tongued end of the adjoining rick placed at right angles. The flues of ‘urnace built of these bricks have rounded rners, which is desirable in preventing ‘se accumulation of dust. The bricks of ie course are laid to break joints with those { the next course. '. G. Kirkpatrick, of Leechburg, Pa., bas patented a regenerator furnace for the use ‘ natural gas. The inventor states that by ‘xing natural gas, as obtained from the ‘arth, with a small proportion of atmos- pheric air the mixture may be ignited within ® furnace without danger of explosion. The “urhace employed is a modification of the “lemens regenerator furnace. The modifi- | NEW CAR-WHEEL BORING from the working chamber pass into three upright passages at one end of it. They then enter a horizontal flue beneath the hearth and are finally discharged into the stove. This stove consists of an upright rectangular chamber built of fire-brick and placed so as to form one end of the hearth. Within the stove are arranged two series of stand-pipes. The first series contains air, which, after MACHINE, BUILT BY W. B. BEMENT chuck jaws are concentrically tightened upon the wheel by a single movement of a lever, and are quickly adjustable to wheels of any diameter not senieiien 43 inches on the tread. The boring spindle is of large diameter, hollow, counterbalanced, and pro- vided with quick and easy hand movement. Its wear is compensated for and its accurate aligument preserved by the use of the well- & SON, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Never in the history of gas-making has gas been so excellent in quality and so cheap as | it is at the present time, and never has there been such a development of inventive skill in the production of useful appliances for the utilization of gas fuel both for domestic and manufacturing purposes. The first great impetus to the application of gas for cook- ing and heating was given at the Grand Ex being heated by the products of combustion, | known split conical bushings, which in this position held at Paris in 1878. Presumably is conducted to the work chamber. The sec- ond series is shorter than the first series, and is designed for the receptiou of the gases and for ,their conveyance to the work chamber. The inventor states that by his improvement he obtains a more regular and uniform heat than where the air and gas enter through regenerators. A Consul Baker, at Buenos Ayres, reports a general falling off in our trade with the Ar- — Republic, but adds: ‘‘ In view, how- owever, of the present unpromising state of the general business of the Argentine Republic, it may be a fortunate thing that our trade is not at present so extended or as extensive in this direction as we could other- wise wish.” case have large surfaces and can be rigidly | clamped in any position to which they are | adjusted. The vertical boring feed is thrown into |gear by a conical friction, and has six changes, which are operated by a sliding | clutch-pin, a device so long in use as not to need explanation. L.R. Faught’s quadruple cutter is much used asa boring tool in these machines, and is frequently fed | through a finishing cut at the rate of 14 inch |per revolution. The hub-facing device, | shown in the cut, is also one patented by Mr. Faught. | tool receives a surfacing feed from a vertical | shaft which passes centrally through the boring spindle, and may be actuated either by hand or by power. A gauge-screw is pro- vided, by means of which the facing cutter | tent | A slide which carries the facing | one of the chief reasons why the attention of gas manufacturers was directed to an ex tended use of gas for purposes other than as an illuminant was that the wonderful discoveries, just then reported, of Mr. Edison and other electricians startled, and for a time scared, the gas companies and their engineers, They then began to perceive that there were other outlets for gas above and beyond lighting, and their attention was naturally devoted to the supply of gas for all heating, cook ing and manufacturing purposes. One of the most important applications of gas since that date is its use in the working of engines, or the production of motive power, the necessity for steam boilers being thereby entirely dispensed with. the demand for gas engines that my neigh So great has been | | and ‘ home industries’ can be combined with | the cultivation of cottage or co-operative | farms, as a remedy for overcrowding in great | cities and want of employment in agricu!- | tural districts.”” Within the last few weeks a co-operative farm has been started on the principle laid down by the society near Farnham, Surrey. It is especially devoted to market gardening, fruit and dairy farm jing. Some difficulty has been encountered in getting the laborers to understand that they are to share the profits instead of re ceiving wages, but this is being gradually overcome. Other industries have been in troduced on the farm, such as stocking and jersey weaving, knitting and dress-making, and information has been collected by the society from persons interested in local fac tories and home industries ———E— Virginia Tin Mines.—Accompanying a prospectus of the Virginia Tin Mining and Mfg. Co., which we have recently received, is a report on the Martha Cash tin mines of Rockbridge County, Va., from which we take the following extract of a report made by Prof. A. S. McCreath and Mr. Franklin Platt, in 1883 After describing the course of the vein examined and the extent of the working, the report says: ‘‘ An analysis of samples selected by Mr. Rittenhouse, repre senting all grades from pure tin crystals to quartz and rock holding little or no tin showed by duplicate tests 31.70 and 31 44 per cent. metallic tin, being an average of 31.60 per cent. While this will probably represent fairly enough the average of the ore already mined, there is a good deal of vein matter which will yield much better, perhaps 70 per cent. and over. The largest piece of ore of this kind that we saw was not over 2 ipches in thickness, and much of ” | it was not more than 1 inch thick 2 THB IRON AGE. February 5, The Plume &Atwood Mfg.
