Review of the Published every Thursday Morning by Davin WILLIAMS, Vol. XXXV: No. 23 New Power Punching Presses. iD ich have just been put on the market by Ferracute Machine Company, of Bridge- , N. Jd. These presses are especially wiapted for cutting, punching and forming wavy metals in the manufacture of such ‘les as nuts and washers, hardware, nails, ks, cutlery, carriage goods, gas fixtures | lampwork, jewelry, silver, brittannia i brasswork, watches, clocks, electrical »pparatus and musical instruments, also nall parts of textile machinery, agricultural uplements, drop-forgings, &c. The frame cast in the form of a square tubular umn, with massive internal ribs, and lening out into a well-extended base. The -oneral design is such as to give the most srength for the least cost, and to combine greatest possible convenience for the indling of the dies and material with har- my of proportions and neatness of appear- we, The heavy crank-shaft is made of est forged steel and is of large diameter. t extends from the front to the back, andis srranged with a special view to making it sy to attach cams for working automatic art ie Vices. Among the valuable improvements which, connection with the above features of veneral design, make these presses specially ficient, durable and accurate, the following »serve special mention: A very long slide- ar of extraordinary width, and provided with means for accurate adjustment, secures superior firmness and accuracy for the work- of the dies. eccentric adjustment, by which the slide-bar in be instantly clamped in place in any lesired position, furnished with a graduated scale, facilitates the adjusting and enables the | perator to more easily set the dies. There ure no threads of adjusting screws and lock nuts to give way, but the pressure is trans- ferred practically through solid metal. An automatic clutch enables the operator to per- fectly control the action of the press, and a safety-pin is provided, so that the shaft can be revolved to any position while the fly wheel is in motion, thus dispensing with the need of a counter-shaft and adding consid- erably to the convenience of adjusting the dies, An adjustable spring brake controls the motion of the press and adapts it to be run at various speeds without irregularity in the motion of the slide. A treadle lock, erated by the foot, allows the treadle to » fastened down for continuous running. The die and stripper clamps, by which the lies and strippers can be instantly secured and released, instead of having to unscrew bolts and nuts, greatly facilitate the change f tools and effect a considerable saving of tume, 4 number of extra attachments are also made for these presses which adapt them to 1 great variety of work and increase their isefuleess Among the more prominent of ese are a positive stop by which the slide- bar is prevented from making more than ie stroke when the treadle is depressed, util the locking arrangement has been re- ased, even though the treadle be held down for an indefinite period; an adjustable stroke by which the slide-bar can have a t stroke for heavy work and a longer ne for special work requiring less power ; aud a shelf which may be bolted to either » of the press for holding work or tools, ind a pan to catch punchings and ‘ drop- rough ” work, which may also be reversed and used as an inclined shute to catch work ind slide it over to the left of the press. weights in this series of presses run mm 700 pounds in the smallest (No. 51) to 700 pounds in the largest (No. 55). The smallest press will cut an inch round hole in neh iron, while the largest will cut the me size hole in 1-inch iron. They are also arranged that gearing can be added to inv of the five sizes at a small extra cost, h adapts them to work requiring slow tion and great power.

The soundings ap- ear to show that the foundations for piers must be sent down to a greater depth than y ever sunk by man in the whole history engineering, the water in some places ng 77 feet deep, and in others, where the vater is 45 feet deep, the mud and sand is 125 et deep, making 170 feet in all to sink piers below tide. This bridge is to be r double tracks, and will cost over $2,000,- Proposals to build this great bridge have been asked of the leading bridge build- ‘rs of England, Europe and the United ~tates. Sir Saul Samuel, of London, on the part of the Government, has named a board t engineers, to meet in London in June to *Xamine and report on the plans and tenders sent in by the bridge builders. The press illustrated herewith represents f a series of improved punching presses | An improved form of | board named consists of Sir John Hawk- shaw, C.E.; Col. Douglas Galton and Mr. W. W. Evans, M.I.C.E., of New York. Mr. Evans is just recovering from an at- tack of pneumonia and cannot avail himself of the honor thus conferred on him. This is the first time that an American engineer has been asked to serve on such a board in England, and it is to be regretted that Mr. Evans is unable to act. — METALLURGICAL NOTES. Burnt iron. Of the many problems relating to iron which, it appears to me, says Dr. Percy, require further investigation, is the cld one of “burnt iron.” It would be superfluous and impertinent to obtrude any difinition of that expression. Every blacksmith, as well as every forge and mill man, hus good reason to regret | his practical acquaint- ance with it and the trouble he has had in dealing with it. The cause which produces it is well known— overheating—but not the precise nature of the change which is thereby effected. Al- though much has been written and published on the subject of this change, yet I ven- ture to submit that it has not been satis- factorily elucidated, divers opinions being still held regarding it. It is believed, on the one hand, to be exclu sively physical, and to consist of a larger development of crys talline structure ; and, on the other hand, to be physico-chemical and to consist of such structural modifica- tions, accompanied with the partial, if not complete, abstraction of carbon or of the absorption of oxygen. It should be borne in mind that I am not now speaking of ‘burnt steel,” the theory of the produc- tion of which seems to have been well established. Malle- able iron, [ may re- mind you, even of the most fibrous char- acter, may be made to acquire a largely crystalline structure —by which I mean converted into crys- tals individually of | large size—either by fusion, by heating it only for a very short time to a high tem- | perature approach- ing, yet sensibly be- low, its melting point, or by long-continued exposure to a much lower temperature, |The second of these conditions is that | which usually causes the ‘‘burning” of iron: and zine also, | when rolled out into sheets and heated only for a second or two to a temperature bordering on its melting point, furnishes an excellent illustration of a similar change of structure. Before heating it may be bent backward and forward sev- eral times without breaking, and the act of bending is not accompanied with the slight- est sound, but after heating and cooling— whether rapidly or slowly, it makes no differ- ence —it is so brittle that it breaks instantly, ,and the act of bending is accompanied with a very audible, harsh, grating sound. | The fracture in this case is largely crystal- | line, comparatively speaking, and indicates clearly that the heating of the sheet, though | only momentary, has sufficed to enable the molecules of the metal to rearrange them- selves in the manner which I have stated. | I have noticed that quite recently these facts relating to zinc have been described as novel, whereas they have been long known and I | certainly published them more than 20 years ago; but they were probably well known, if }not actually published, long previously | Now, I apprehend that, with respect to modi- fication, what takes place in the ‘** burning” | of iron (which has a high melting point) at a high temperature takes place equally at a low temperature in the case of zine (which has a comparatively low melting point). Moreover, as *‘ burnt iron” may, by what is known as coaxing, be forged, so the brittle ‘‘ burnt zinc’ may, when heated to the tem- perature at which the cast metal becomes malleable and ductile, be again passed | through the rolls without cracking. | With respect to the chemical changes |which have been alleged to occur in the ‘burning " of iron, I take the liberty of ex- Hardware, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Iron pressing my own opinion, which is that the experimental evidence hitherto published on the subject cannot be regarded as conclusive. The point which I would particularly suggest for investigation is the alleged absorption of oxygen by iron at a high temperature, with, of course, the formation of oxide, and its so lution in, or diffusion through, the mass. Here, obviously, there could be no case of occlusion of oxygen, unless the temperature were high enough to cause the dissociation of oxide of iron. The effervesence, follow ing the addition of spiegeleisen to molten de- carburized pig iron, has been adduced as proof of the existence of oxygen in some state or other in the metallic bath ; and ex periments on the small scale have seemed to indicate that molten malleable iron may, like molten copper, dissolve some of its own oxide. But what is now wanted is conclu sive evidence on such interesting points, evi- dence founded on the sure basis of accurate observation and careful experiment. Some - ae “ PRESS NEW POWER PUNCHING persons may, however, possibly ask, To what useful practical results is the investigation of such questions likely to lead? The answer is that many an apparent sterile fact in science has been unexpectedly found to admit of practical application, with the re sult of benefiting the world and enriching not the man who dfBovered the fact, but the man who was fortunate enough to apply it. Who can tell that it may not so happen with respect to the investigation of ‘ burnt iron?” though, I must confess, it seems very improbable. The effect produced on iron by frequently reheating it to a high temperature, say a welding heat, is, if I mistake not, generally considered to have been long ago conclusively demonstrated. By such treatment iron is said to be injured in quality ; by which, I apprehend, is chiefly meant reduced in tensile strength. Now, I received some years ago from my friend Colonel Dyer, of the Royal Artillery, a re- port of a series of experiments which were made under his direction at the arsenal, Woolwich, aud which do not confirm the prevailing opinion on this subject. The re- port contains full and precise details of these experiments. The result showed that iron might be heated four times, for about three bours each time, to a welding heat, being allowed to cool without hammering after heating, without injuring its quality in the least degree. The special object of these experiments was to ascertain whether the internal portion of the large gun forgings would be likely to be injured by repeated re heatings to a welding heat, though well hammered each time on the exteri»r. and Entered at the Post Office, New York, as New York, Thursday, June 4, 1885. ** Vitis’? Wrought [ron Castings, We briefly referred in a recent issue to the ‘‘ Mitis”’ castings, a name which Mr. T Nordenfelt, the well-known manufacturer of guns. has saddled upon the community From his paper before the Iron and Steel Institute we gather the following details on this new article, which promises to become one of great importance The raw material we first used at Carlsvik, Sweden, was Swedish wrought-iron scrap, such as horseshoes, rivets, &c., and the castings we obtained from this raw material were found to have about 20 per cent. higher tensile strength than the wrought iron used—the tensile strength being 24 tons per square inch and upward—and this per centage of gain in strength has maintained for other raw materials. We could not at first see that our castings were in any way less pliable or ductile than the Swedish wrought iron used as raw material, and you will observe from the samples, all of which are bent cold, that the castings show as good a quality in this re- spect as can possibly be expected from wrought-iron forg- ings. When, how- ever, we tested the material for elonga- tion, we found that the elongation of the castings was slightly less (from 5 to 10 per cent. less) than that of the Swedish wrought iron. This is also natural enough when you consider what had been done by melting the wrought iron. We got rid of all slag, and at the same time we were free from all risks of the delamina- tion and imperfect welding occurring in wrought iron forg- ings. Our castings are therefore more dense than wrought iron, and have practically no fiber; they have the same tensile strength in all direc- tions, this advantage being obtained at the cost of the slight loss of elongation caused by the absence of slag, and by the vir- tual absence of fibre. We do not alter to any considerable ex- tent the chemical properties of the ma terial we use, and I do not claim that we improve (more than already stated) the actual raw material used What we put into the pot we get out of it, with such al- terations only as are caused by the treat ment to which we sub ject it: therefore, if we use iron free from all impurities, we ob- tain exceedingly good castings, and if we use iron with a very large percentage of phos phorus we naturally obtain proportionately brittle and unsatisfac tory castings. In or- der to ascertain how much impurity we can deal with, I sent over to Sweden last January a number of different qualities of English iron, and I found that, whereas the most impure scrap gave cast- ings too brittle for practical use, a purer, iron, such as refined iron from Middles boro’, gave us castings to all intents and purposes as good as the best English forg ings, while such perfect raw material as hematite puddle bars gave us cast ings which were equally as good as, if not better in every respect than, those produced from Swedish wrought-iron scrap We found that raw material containing '¢ per cent. of phosphorus was too impure to pre- vent brittleness in the castings, but when we mixed two-thirds of scrap containing % per cent. of phosphorus with one-third of refined iron, hematite or Swedish iron we ob tained castings quite satisfactory for general purposes ; when we mixed half and half we obtained castings quite as ductile and much stronger than ordinary forgings ; while using refined Yorkshire iron, hematite or Swedish iron alone we obtained castings which | may be allowed to call ** extra” quality—that is, their ductility (as shown by the samples) probably exceeds what can be produced by forgings, while their strength is fully 20 per cent. greater in all directions than the best wrought-iron forgings. All the above-named mixtures with less than 4 per cent. of phos phorus give us castings which can be welded and mended like wrought iron without the slightest trouble. It seems to me that what we do might be said to be that we make exceedingly mild steel by melting the wrought iron almost free from carbon, in need hardly say that I Metal Trades. (entisew Second-Class Matter, $L.50 a Xr ar, Lucluding Zostage. Sengle Copies, Ten Cents. eens stead of making mild steel by decarbonizing pig iron which contains about 3 per cent of carbon. The manner in which we make the ‘* Mitis ” wrought-iron castings is as follows Each furnace containing six crucibles has one fire, and we work two crucibles to gether; the pair furthest away from the fire is warmed to a certain degree by the waste heat, the second pair is heated also by the waste heat toa point where the scrap ap proaches its melting temperature, and in the pair nearest to the fire the wrought iron is completely melted As this last pair is lifted out the second pair is moved forward into their place, the third pair is moved forward into the place of the second, and a fresh pair of filled crucibles is placed in the compart ment furtherest away from the fire. In or der to obtain quickly the great heat required we employ as fuel the residuum of petroleum, called naphtha, which is easily obtainable in unlimited quantities, and which is not in any way dangerous. We have tried this residuum from American pretroleum, from Glasyow, and from Baku, and they all work equally sat isfactorily ; and we have tried other forms of volatile oil, which also work well with slight modification in the furnaces, but which in most places would be found more expensive than the naphtha. From these furnaces we can draw eight to ten pairs of crucibles per day of 12 hours, and when we, as we intend to do, commence working day and night shifts, we can cast 15 to 20 times every 24 hours. This is a considerable gain, as I believe that in Sheffield the crucibles are taken out only about three times in 12 hours; and we have the further advan- tage that we refill each crucible every time by its full charge of about 60 pounds of scrap, whereas in Sheffield a full charge f 60 pounds is only put into a new cruci- ble, their second charge being about <o pounds, their third about 45 pounds, and soon. Our next step is to deal with this ex ceedingly hot iron, We have carried out a method of molding and facing sand which works to our entire satisfaction, as shown by the samples, and we have made use of water molds of a special construction when a great number of castings have to be made to the same pattern. In order to do this expeditiously and cheaply, we use a ladle in | which we keep the iron at its full heat by | means of a surface blast of very hot gases, and we fix a number of molds around the circumference of a turn-table in such a man- ner that one mold can be filled after the other as quickly as it is brought under the lip of the ladle, and the castings are immediately taken out of the molds, so that each mold is ready for refilling as soon as it comes round again under the lip of the ladle. |The raw material being wrought iron only, the castings do not require to be in any way lannealed, but are simply cleaned up by | emery-wheels or otherwise, and delivered to the purchaser. As the iron runs so exceed- ingly free without large heads, and as it falls out of the molds so easily, this method of | ** Mitis”” wrought-iron castings must tend to save labor to a very important extent, and we have already found that it enables us t considerably lighten and greatly vary de signs—such as designs of machinery, &c.— as we can, without extra cost, shape our molds so that we give the strength of meta! where wanted, but only where wanted, whereas in forgings it would often not pas to complicate the shape This method als: enables a constructor to make much bolde: designs and of more difficult forms, know ing that such designs can be easily and cheaply carried out. Here again we find great advantage in being able to weld the castings, as we can cast the parts which would otherwise be difficult to forge, or which would require much machining, and weld them to a bar or rod as required. Some of the samples show links, bearings and clutches used in this way I can hardly imagine any form of forginz which it would not be more advantayveous t east by this method You see before you tl most difficult forms, such as pulleys, sm 1k consumers, wheels, knees and bends of pip ing, &c., which give the tensile strength of mild steel forgings without any greater ex pense than for castings of ordinary shapes except what may be caused by the greater trouble in making the mold. Our work at present is principally limited to such cast ings as would compete with malleable cast ings, because that was our trade previous! and because we were lucky enough to find that the malleable patterns came in exact without any alteration for our Mitis castings, the contraction in both cases ha; pening to be the same. The cost of « au Mitis ’’ castings being practically the sam: or perhaps slightly lower than that of « malleable castings, all our customers are, of urse, Vers vlad to have the Mitis ist ings instead of the others, as they are much more strong and ductile, and as the decarbonization in malleable castings is apt to destroy the iron in very thin pla whereas in castings of couwparatively large dimensions the decarbonizing only acts near the surface, while the main portion of the malleable casting remains brittle cast iron As a matter of fact, we are not only paid much higher | for r Mitis " castings than we were paid f I same castings made of malleable iron, | wecovera much larger field of work, because of our Mitis great many purposes for which mallea ecastinys being used for FP bee ’ s ie ay <> ih re : ; j &- = > orate = " * a ; me P79 w ~.
