TH. Gs. dl rt. ators, The Iron Age INDEX TO EADING MATTER PAGE 32 Vol. XN VT. No. ew A New Form of Cupola Furnace.* BY MR. JAMES RILEY. The cupola furnace which I have to sub- mit to the members of the Institute is the outcome of an earnest desire to shorten the duration of the operations necessary in making open-hearth steel. ‘These operations may be divided as follows, taking, for illus- tration a charge for soft steel of 12 tons say g tons of pig iron with 3 tons of steel scrap, and working with ore): Charging, one hour; melting, from three to four hours ; boiling and finishing, six hours ; repairing furnace, about half an hour. Looking at these operations with the view of reducing the cost, one naturally asks, *‘Can you not shorten the time occupied in charging, and reduce its cost in labor, by substituting machinery for manual labor?” I know that others besides myself have given a good deal of thought to this matter, but probably with the same result—that no contrivance yet hit upon for charging solid cheaper than manual labor. But,.if our considerations turn in the direction of charg ing fluid metal, it will be at once apparent that this can be done in a very small frac tion of the time now taken up, and with the very important advantage that we avoid | the cooling down of the furnace due to the long operation and to the furnace-doors being open the while. By these means we should have a gain of nearly 10 per cent. of time—equal to one charge more a week—as well as a considerable saving in fuel and repairs. Arrived at this point it seems natural that we should look for an additional and a much greater saving than that just mentioned ; for surely by charg- ing fluid metal we must save three or four hours usually occupied in melting. Under this conviction, or with the view of deter- mining whether this assumption was cor- rect, Mr. Hackney, many years ago, tried at Landore the experiment of pre-melting the pig iron in a cupola, whence the fluid charge was readily and quickly transferred to the melting furnaces. He has somewhere pub- lished the result, which was an almost inap- preciable reduction of the time usually taken up in working the solid charge. At the instance and to satisfy the directors of the Steel Co. of Scotland, immediately after I came to Glasgow I had two melting furnaces worked for a week with fluid charges ob- tained by pre-melting the pig iron in the foundry cupola. In estimating the result we concluded that there was a doubtful gain of a quarter of an hour per charge obtained at the expense of the coke and labor ex- pended at the cupola. The explanation of the discrepancy between the expected and the actual result is known to many, but may nevertheless be briefly stated. During the melting of a charge in an open-hearth furnace a large proportion of the silicon and carbon is removed, leaving little more than half the carbon to eliminate in the subsequent operations. Now, in the case of the fluid charge which has been pre- melted with coke in the cupola, these changes have not taken place, and the time required to remove the impurities from the fluid metal, after being charged in the open- hearth furnace, is almost as long as that required to melt and purify the solid charge. Long ago it occurred to me that, if I could substitute gaseous for solid fuel in melting in the cupola, I might be able to alter the conditions and accomplish the much-desired end. About 18 months ago I determined to try whether this could not be done, and ac- cordingly got out designs for a cupola, which, however, seemed unsatisfactory in one or two parts. Some time later I dis- cussed the matter with my friend Mr. Cross- ley, with the result that we modified the designs to pretty much what I now submit toyou. The diagrams before you show two types of the cupola furnace, similar in prin- ciple, although differing in form. Figs. 1 to 3 show the fireplace or gas generator and the furnace body of a rectangular form in plan. In Figs. 4 to 6 the furnace is circular in plan, with a gas generator also of circular horizontal section. In both cases the gas gen- erator has a closed grate and is dependent upon forced blast—obtained from an ordi- nary blower—for supporting combustion in the production of gas from the coal, which is charged in at the top in the customary manner. In like manner the air for sup- porting combustion in the body of the fur- nace is obtained from the blower, and in the| case of No. 1 is passed through the pipes or nozzles placed transversely across the body of the furnace, almost directly over the bridge that divides the generator and fur- nace. These pipes are inclined so as to direct the flame down upon the bath of metal held in the hearth of the furnace. In this design the air for combustion is heated in the pass- “ees in the back wall of the generator, ‘trough which it is sent to the nozzles above relerred to, In No. 2 theair for combustion passes twice around the hearth of the gen- ‘rator in the pipes shown in the figure, material is | usual hight from the hearth. It is in two parts, the lower being removable, and the upper supported on pillars, as shown. The hearth has aslight downward inclination to allow of the molten metal flowing readily into the furnace body. ‘ cupola is arranged so that it can be easily re- moved for repair and another substituted when necessary. This hearth-piece and the furnace body may be lined with either basic or acid material, as may be most suitable to | the pig iron, &c., being melted and treated ; for, besides melting, we are of opinion that, with a basic lining and necessary mixtures goog0ag 7juaodooe q BERTE08 08 , 4288 gS — OTE THE RILEY and arrangements, we shall be able to re- move the phosphorus in the hearth of the furnace. If we can accomplish this, then we shall be able to melt common iron in the basic-lined cupola, remove the phosphorus, and afterward finish the charge in the acid- | lined open-hearth furnaces. With the per- “ence to the crown of the furnace body, | mission of my directors, Mr. Dick, manager whence, being thoroughly heated, it emerges | of the Blochairn Works, made a tentative me air port directly over the gas port) experiment with a kind of improvised fur- “ang into the furnace and to the cupola, | nace and gas generator, very similar to Fig. ar d, in addition, we can, if desired, turn! 7, conjoined to a small foundry cupola.

Theblast | which, being only ordinarily good fire-brick, * A paper read before the Iron and Steel Institute at Glasgow, was then turned on from the Root blower, ordinarily used for blowing the cupola, The hearth of the | 1.—Vertical Section. and after about two hours’ blowing we had the satisfaction of seeing the metal begin to melt and run down into the earth, whence it was shortly afterward tapped into the ordi nary foundry ladle and run into castings. The experiment was continued long enough | to indicate a few weak points in our appa ratus, and also to remove some lingering doubts of the possibility of success. One or two more short trials having been made, I was anxious to make a more lengthened one —long enough, in fact, to furnish reliable | data for action upon a large scale, Accord- ingly, we heated up the furnace on Monday, Slag Spout ' * al Topping Seok November 12, A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. eee oe a Sn by Davi Witttams, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter, New York, Thursday, ISS 5. At the earlier stages of the experiment, when meljting pig iron alone, as much as possible was made into castings, which were very satisfactory, being tough and clean. Analysis showed that we had removed r per cent. of the silicon and % per cent. of the carbon. Subsequently, by admitting more air into the fur.ace, and when melting steel scrap, the silicon was reduced to 0.396 and | the carbon to under 1.0 per cent., so that we may conclude that, when the fluid metal can be charged into the open-hearth furnace, the time required for its conversion into mild steel will be very greatly shortened, Fig. 4— End Elevation. —— _ i a | Figs. 5 and 6.—Vertical Section and Plan. CUPOLA FOR OPEN-HEARTH ;put on blast on Tuesday morning, and worked almost without intermission night and day until the following Saturday. After some days’ work in melting pig iron, finding that everything was satisfactory, and that we had a very high temperature in the fur- nace, I determined to try to melt the steel scrap that would ordinarily be charged into the steel furnace. Commencing with the | addition of 10 per cent. of scrap, the propor- tions cf pig and scrap were very gradually changed, until, at the termination of our experiment, we were melting charges in | which the proportions were six of steel scrap |to one of pig iron. Our operations were could not successfully resist the high tem- perature to which it was exposed.

In the small experimental trials we melted at the rate of close on 2 tons an hour. In the large one we expect to put through double this quantity, or sufficient to supply four 12 ton melting furnaces as at present charged. But as we expect to save about half the time of the operations in the latter, and that two furnaces will thus require the same weight of charge as is now taken by four, our cupola is placed midway between two of them, and i INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS PAGE 19.

The pig and scrap will be placed directly from the wagons on to the charging carriage at the foot of the incline, up which it will be raised and tipped into the charging hole. The charging ap paratus is one that was designed by Messrs. Westray & Copeland, of Barrow, and has been in use at their works for several vears. We are erecting a gas generator in connec tion with the cupola for two reasons: First, because we have no surplus supply of gas | available at the works; and, next, because | 1 am not sure that we should obtain as satis factory results when using cold gas from our mains as when it passed hot from the generator directly into the furnace. On the important point of consumption of fuel in |melting we were abundantly satistied, for the coal charged into the generator during the about nine shifts’ work only averaged about 1.44 cwt. to the ton of metal charged into the cupola, thus surpassing the most economical cupola working that has come under our notice. On the results we ob tained, we think, we are justified in believing that, besides its adaptability to the end | had in view in commencing these trials, this furnace is also extremely well fitted for extensive iron foundry practice, where con- tinuous melting is required, and also, and more especially, to Bessemer-steel works, where fluid metal is not available; and I may state that, as the flame can be made to a large extent oxidizing or reducing at will, the composition of the metal need not be changed during melting, the silicon, &c., necessary in the Bessemer operation remain- ing therefore untouched. ; calla : Producer Gas in Glass-Making. The Bellaire correspondent of the Crockery j} and Glass Journal writes as follows in a re- | cent issue of that paper : For some time past the question of cheaper production has been agitating the minds of glass manufacturers in the Ohio Valley, and during the leisure of the past summer some of the leaders in this city embraced the op- portunity to investigate the various furnaces in use, and devise, if possible, some plan whereby the cost of production could be jlessened. The committee that was sert through the natural gas and other sections returned to the city highly elated over the result of their examinations, and with feel- ings of satisfaction that those favored with natural gas would not have any great advau- tage over other manufacturers if what they had learned would stand a practical test. That test bas been made, and the result is very satisfactory. It is a gas furnace, the gas used being that generated from slack waste coal and air. The Crystal Window Works were the first to make a practical test, but it is adapted as well to the flint-glass fac tories, and it is quite probable that by next year it will bein general use at all of the glass factories in this city. ‘The first melt of glass was made for less than one-fourth the cost of fuel usually used and that is still used at other factories. At either end of the usual cave beneath the furnace is agenerator 5 x 9 feet, and between these is a large air-cham ber 10 x 21 feet, in the center of which is a a sort of fan that sends the cold air to each end of the cave, where the generators are. These generators are fed with slack or ref- use coal—which has heretofore been given free at the mines for hauling it away ; but now that there will be a demand for it, of course more value will attach—through small! holes at each end of the furnace, which are made right through the factory floor. At each of the four corners of the cave, in the gen erators, is a sort of flue 8 x 24 inches, into which issue the flame and cold air, where they mix, and the gas thus produced flows into the furnace from these four points as | clear and hot as any fire ever produced in a he furnace is arranged with there is an air feed below | | | | | glass furnace. flues, and | 12 and a damper above, over which the master teaser has full control and can handle just as the condition of the | furnace renders necessary. The experiment here, which has proven so highly satisfactory to all of the manufacturers, especially the first firm to make the venture, can be better understood as of importance by this fact: The first melt of glass in this new furnace the first of the kind ever tried in this section was made with 225 bushels of slack that | cost 2 cents a bushel, delivered in the factory |A melt in this factory or in any of the ‘ordinary factories requires 350 bushels of coal that costs 5 cents a bushel. This is the one item of fuel, while the new process lessens the labor about the furnace, makes a brighter, clearer fire, and consequently a finer and clearer quality of glass entirely safe to predict that the new process will be in general use throughout the Ohio Valley within a short time. The idea was gathered from an improvised furnace built and operated by some Belgian brothers in Pennsylvania, and unforeseen thing occurs it will revolutionize the manu facture of glass in the Ohio Valley.
