INDEX TO READING MATTER A PAGE 32 Published every Vol. XX XV: No. 24 The Oxidation of Metals and the Bower-Barff Process. At the meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers held last month Mr. Wm. H. Weightman presented an interest- ing report on the oxidation of metals, sub- mitted in October, 1884, to the Chief of Ord- nance, U.S. A., by Lieut.-Col. A. R. Buf- fington, Ordnance Department, National Armory, Springfield, Mass. In this report, which is of considerable value, not only from the information contained, but from the freedom accorded for use of the process defined and developed by Colonel Buffington, the latter remarks : ‘*Within a few days past I have been called upon by the department for remarks relative to the ‘ Bower-Barff process’ of oxidizing the surface of iron and steel for preservation. To-day a representative of the parties controlling this process called upon me with specimens of their work, one a piece of gun barrel. In this way the sub- ject has again been called to attention, and at the same time the discovery is made, by a comparison of work and a fuller knowl- edge of the Barff process, that a method now in use at this armory is superior to it for the oxidation of parts of small arms Six or seven years ago the Barff process, so far as my knowledge extends, was made known in this country, and attracted my attention relative to the oxidation of parts of small arms, but my interest extended no further, the difficulties attending the appli- cation and the high degree of heat required presenting obstacles I did not care to en- counter experimentally. Some time after, either immediately before or after my change of station to the Watervliet arsenal, I saw a public notice of a lecture in England in which it was stated the lecturer asserted the oxidation of iron and steel surfaces by the application of melted niter to be the mag- netic or peroxide of iron. This or a similar notiee was seen by one of the assistant offi- cers at Watervliet, and he called attention to it and suggested that it be tried, which I instructed him to do with the lariat rings there manufactured. The result proving satisfactory, the rings were thereafter, up to the time of my leaving the arsenal, so colored. ‘*About this time, being on a board of officers in New York with the late Colonel Benton, then in command of the armory, I called his attention to the subject, with a view of applying the process to parts of small arms. He soon after died, and no fur- ther action was taken until some time after I succeeded him here, when my attention was again called to it by the master armorer observing the coloring of some metal, oxi- dized by niter, which I had brought with me and asking how it had been done. ‘‘T then began experimenting, but suc- ceeded only at first, with the help of one of the workmen, in securing a good color for the tip of rifle stocks. This part—malleable iron—had always been case-hardened. The case-hardening, besides not coloring uni- formly, injured the files in fitting the ram- mer to the groove in assembling the arms From this success, without entering into de- tails, we have progressed until now tips, bands, band springs, guards—fully assem- bled—and ,butt-plates are colored with the Thursday Review of the Morning by Davin WILLIAMS, No. Hardware, Iron 83 Reade Street, New York.

The communication follows : Dear Sir: In reply to your request of the Is as 17th inst., I take pleasure in stating that the process of oxidizing by niter has been im- proved to the extent of assured success, but there is little to add to the publication re- All metallic parts of the Spring- | ferred to. by raising the | as is the case with browning.

The fire may be made either with hard or soft coal.

The bulk of the copper produced on Lake Superior is obtained by crushing rock in which the metal is distributed in the native | form in particles varying widely in size The metal is separated from {the gangue by subsequent jigging and washing opera tions, the product being ‘‘ mineral,”—that is, metallic copper more or less contaminated with iron, gangue, &c., which is smelted or refined and cast into ingots or bars.

Che valve gear finally adopted consists of four outside cams, with an independent roll for each motion of the valves. The opening steam and closing exhaust cams were fixed, | the closing steam and opening exhaust cams being bolted to the face of the others, vet so as to admit of adjustment. This valve gear | leaves nothing to be desired, as it is simple, efficient and durable rhe upper part of the cylinder is steam-jacketed, the whole cylinder being covered with felt and a wood lagging. The mortar made four-sided, giving | double the screen surfaces. This increases its weight 2 tons, while the weight of the anvil is increased to 12 tons—a total increase of 4 tons in the parts resisting the blow over and above the weight of the same parts in the first stamp. One other change of great importance was made. With the rubber bumper of the Ball stamp it was still neces sary to leave a large clearance at the top, and in the first Leavitt stamp 2%-inch clear | ance was given, as in the old stamp, and, the diameter of the cylinder being larger, the clearance at this place was greater even than in the old cylinder. The total clearance measured 1628 cubic inches, about 22 per cent. of a full stroke, so that, while the stamp reached a greater capacity, little could be claimed for it on the score of economy, and it became evident that some change was necessary to secure the greatest economy. One suggestion after another re | sulted in substituting for the rubber bumper |}a dash-pot 15 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep, the stamp-shaft bonnet being | formed to serve as the dash-pot plunger. | Now the clearance is reduced to about 500 | cubic inches, or 5.7 per cent. of the contents | of a full stroke of 24 inches. The average stamping capacity of the second stamp thus | perfected was, for 1884, 230 tons per 24 | hours, but this has since been increased to | 240 tons per 24 hours. The saving of fuel | of the first Leavitt stamp compared with the Ball stamp is about 10 per cent., with a gain in capacity of about 25 per cent. The saving of fuel of the second stamp is 35 to 40 per cent., with an increase in capacity of over 50 per cent. With this showing it did not take long for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company to decide to replace all the Ball stamps with the Leavitt stamps, and to add a few more of the latter, until its stamping plant con sists of 12 Leavitt stamps, all of which will be in commission within 12 months. Figs. 1 and 2 well illustrate the stamps as now con- structed, the latter showing also the air pump with which each stamp is provided. The steam indicator is attached at x, Fig. 1, the motion for which is obtained by the sys- tem of levers plainly shown. Fig. 3 is a fair sample of the indicator cards from the Leavitt stamps, the line a b showing the receiver pressure, which increases about 12 pounds as the piston descends, ‘The exces- sive lead is necessary to catch the up-stroke of the piston, but it is less in the Leavitt stamp than in the Ball. The extreme de- pression at a was caused by the reaction of the barrel of the indicator, the other irregu- is | lar lines being due to the vibration of the | spring timbers. ‘The indicator rig shown in | Fig. 1 is very stiff and has no lost motion, niter, and some experiments with barrels after one—the first—rusting of the present browning process would indicate that it is but a question of time until all metal parts of the rifle not requiring to be hardened will be so colored. But after the success with the tip, when the process consisted simply in immersion in melted niter at about the melt- ing temperature, after a blueing made in the ordinary way with heat—the malleable irom, it was found, required this preliminary blue- ing—a change was made, Whether the result- ing satisfactory work is due to that change, or simply the result of more skill and judg- ment acquired by practice as to degree of heat, time of immersion, &c., I am unable t tosay. The change consists in putting in the vessel with the melted niter a few pounds of peroxide of manganese. It was known to me that the presence of this mineral in- creased, without any chemical change in itself, the oxidizing properties of chlorate of potassa. Why not as well the nitrate of potassa ? I tried it, with the result as above. ! have made no secret of this whole matter, aud it has already attracted the attention one private arms company to the ex- of coming here to see and learn the process, But it has occurred to me, the armory process being superior in color (to ‘he specimen of gun barrel shown), economy, and simplicity of application, and the heat required not affecting the temper, which the Karff process does, of tempered parts sub- ted to it, the United States should be ured in the use of this valuable method, thout payment of royalties, by the pub- t t THE field rifle except the parts requiring to be case hardened and the small parts colored in tempering, &c., are now oxidized by niter, and by it simply as related in said publica- tion without any preliminary or after pro- cess except in case of the stock tip, malle- able iron, which requires the previons blue- ing heating in the ordinary way on a plate. The rifle barrels require to be immersed in the niter vertically, which is done on a suit- able fixture holding 8 or 10, arranged cylin- drically around a central rod having an eye for hooking to a small pulley block of a set above, arranged for lowering the barrels into and raising them out of a deep pot con- taining the hot niter. After withdrawal the barrels are left suspended in the air for the niter to cool to about the temperature of boiling water, into which they then are im- mersed vertically as in the niter.

Coggin, of Lake Linden, Mich., superintendent of the stamp mills of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, in a paper read before the Amer- ican Society of Mechanical Engineers. Mr. Coggin traces the development of the Hall stamp through its successive stages of im provement. The Ball stamp, however, even its most recent type, was an enormously fuel- wasting machine, the clearance spaces foot- ing up to over 50 per cent. of the cylinder for a full stroke. Mr. Leavitt introduced first the differential cylinder shown in Fig. 2. piace. | face of the ring being 2 inches wide. packing has given the best satisfaction of the adopted for both the upper and lower heads. anticipated of it. periment showed that, other conditions re maining the same, but 7 immersion in a bath of oil (sperm) completes No accident has happened here in the use The steam is admitted above the upper pis the barrel string being of cat cut and as | short as possible, but the sudden stop of the reciprocating parts of a stamp under a ve- locity of 18 or 20 feet per second, with the constant shaking of the stamp, is not con ducive to fine lines in an indicator card. The Wheelock sectional steam packing was used in the first Leavitt cylinders, the first cylinder being in good condition after five years’ running, but in subsequent cylin- ders the sections wore very unevenly, and wore the cylinders tapering, so that it has finally been discarded, and at present the packing consists of a single ring cut in one It is made of bronze, having a T-shaped section, as shown in Fig. 4, the rhis has been various styles tried, and It would be difficult to tell the proportion ot the improvement in both capacity and econ omy stamp, due to the various changes made in the second stamp. capacity of 15 per cent. over that of the first stamp, and from a saving of 10 per cent. of the fuel in the one there has resulted | 40 per cent. saving in the other. over the work of the first Leavitt There was a gain in the to 35 The increase in capacity due to the doub ing of the screen surface was not what was Repeated and careful ex per cent, more ros k was stamped with the four screens than when half of them were blinded.

The niter should be pure —should be refind. The crude niter of com- merce will not give satisfactory color—it will not be uniform. Parts are tound occasion- ally spotted and streaked. These are tréated | a second time with the desired result. The streaking is attributed to some peculiar structure or inferiority of metal. A surface perfectly smooth and free from the mark- ings of the pohshing material, but not highly | polished, appears to be the most favorable for the action of the niter. A smooth pol- ished surface of cast iron treated with the niter is given a very pretty bronze color, ation of the history of its use here. The ‘imple oxidation of iron and steel by niter uld not be patented, as books of chemistry ‘ave long ago published it, but the process &s above described might be. _ I therefore make this report with a view ‘Its speedy publication. The method used ‘re, in brief, is as follows: A cast-iron ‘tor vessel, open to the air, built into a ‘rnace of fire-brick and heated from below, blains the niter and oxide of manganese the process. The barrels are treated in this way to pre- vent any springing and set from the per- fectly straight and finished condition in which they are before treatment.
