Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter, Vol. Comparatively little improvement has been effected in connection with surface con- use, and many objectionable features can still be found, such as unequal expansion and contraction of tubes, rupture of tube- heads, leaking and giving out of packing and joints, ‘‘crawling” of tubes partially out of their heads, and others. that parts of the condenser are hot while other parts are cold, insufficient vacuum and | XXXVITI: No. Difficulties | also are experienced from unequal! distribu- | tion of steam over the cooling surfaces, so| liability of the circulating water to leak | into the steam space and mix with the feed- water, thus defeating the very objects for which surface condensers are intended. The Wheeler Surface Condenser, which the Lighthall Mfg. Co., of 97 Liberty street, New York, are introducing, is the result of years of practical experience and experi- ments. It is claimed to have none of the above objections and to possess the neces- sary qualifications combined with sound practical features. The tubes are so ar- ranged that they are free to expand and contract without the use of packings of paper, wood or similar materials ; in fact, no ferrules, followers, washers or packings of any kind are employed. Plain screw- joints only are used. The tubes are straight, of seamless brass tubing, and carefully tinned inside and outside. They can be easily and thoroughly cleaned, as their form and the means of fastening them readily permit this. The tube-heads, moreover, do not have to be re- moved from the main part of con- denser for the cleaning or repair- ing of tubes. The pressure (and likewise the temperature) of the exhaust steam as it enters the con- denser is reduced to a minimum, and is then uniformly distributed over the cooling surfaces. This, together with a perfect circulation of water in the tubes, produces a more uniform temperature in the condenser, making one portion as efficient as another, and economiz- ing the amount of circulating water and cooling surface. The water of condensation, it 1s claimed, passes from condenser at the hottest temperature possible. The circula- tion is very active and thorough, and, consequently, a comparatively small amount of circulating water is required. This feature gives a marked saving in the capacity and power necessary to work the pump. A section of the condenser is shown ia the accompanying en- graving. The exhaust steam from the engine, entering the condenser through the nozzle A, comes first in contact with the perforated scat- tering plate O which protects the central portion of the upper tubes from the deteriorating effect of the direct impingement of the steam. The steam, expanding in the spa- cious top of the condenser, reduces its pressure and temperature bef sre t comes in contact with the cold tubes, The steam, as 820n as con- densed, passes to the bottom and flows through the nozzle B to the air pump It will also be noticed that there is ample room in the bottom of the condenser for the water of condensation, so that it cannot|the molten metal ?

By the use of a good sur- face condenser this trouble, to say noth- ing of the expense and danger to the boilers, can be avoided, and at the same time a saving of fueleffected. There are also many places where impure or objectionable water not suitable for feed purposes abounds, and which could be utilized with great effect for condensing purposes. In all such cases sur- face condensers may prove of the greatest | advantage. EE - Oxygen in Metals and Alloys.* BY PROF, A. LEDEBUR. It is generally known that several metals, when melted, absorb more or less oxygen from the air, or from the gases produced by combustion, with which they are placed in contact. About the fact itself there can be no doubt, so far as silver, copper and iron, with a very small proportion of carbon in it, are concerned. The question arises, What is the condition of the oxygen that enters into THE WHEELER SURFACE CONDENSER, On this point an idea | come in contact with the cold tubes; the hot | that has every probability in its favor can water therefore passes out at the highest | be formed by taking the chemical pro rties possible temperature—according to the vac-| of each of the aforementioned metals into uum.

This last property is one common to all ex- cept the precious meta's; with them I hold that it must needs be admitted that the oxy- gen is chemically bound up with the metal, and forms with it an oxide which dissolves in the surplus metal. combined none or scarcely any is set free when the metal becomes solid. evident that the oxide formed under such circumstances is the compound containing the least oxygen which the metal produces. passes out of the condenser by the discharge | nozzle D. The upper part of the engraving shows screw-head N, which latter screws into the head K. This small tube ends within a few inches of the eap G of the large tube L, thereby giving ample space for the water to reverse its direction before flowing back through the annular space between the two tubes. The end of the large tube that screws into the head J is drawn thick, so that coarse, deep threads and a slot can be cut; this latter is similar to the slot shown in N, which admits a screw-driver tool for screwing up or unscrewing tubes from the tube-heads. When it is necessary to remove the tubes for cleaning or repairs, both small and large tubes can be drawn out from the same end of the condenser. After removing the small tube the large tube is unscrewed and drawn through the hole left by the removal of the screw-head of the small tube, ‘his hole being a little larger than the thick end of the large tube. As an evidence of the great efficiency of the Wheeler con- denser we find it stated that carefully ‘onducted tests have shown the maxi- This phenomenon is specially noticeable ia Several authors have F.

In the case of copper, as well as in that of | iron and nickel, no other oxides can be sup- posed to be formed but protoxides. On this very ground I have never been able to ‘admitted on principle that sesquioxide of jiron is dissolved in molten iron. Oxygen | thus fixed by a metal produces a notable | change in its leading properties. If oxygen |that is simply dissolved be set free as the | metal solidifies it becomes impossible, in con- sequence of the sputtering, to obtain a metal that is perfectly homogeneous, dense and |free from honeycombs, The more rapidly |and instantaneously the gas is set free, the more perceptible are these inconveniences, | In this respect the oxygen dissolved in sil- ver produces a much more injurious effect than hydrogen dissolved in other metals— than, for instance, in steel, whence it always escapes rather slowly.

How- ever, the sputtering of silver is not always BUILT BY prevented in this way, and for the sim- | ple reason that the action open to oxidation becomes perceptible the smaller the quanity of it that | bas been used, and the greater its affinity to oxygen. A certain quantity of the oxygen that has simply been dissolved can escape with another | metal in which oxygen can be fixed in the | This | is really done when copper is alloyed with | THE LIGHTHALL |of permanganate of potassium be added from that action, especially if the contact } between the metallic bath and the atmos- phere, or the gases produced by combustion, admits of an incessant absorption of oxy- gen up to the time of the melting. In the case of the absorbed oxygen not being set | free by the cooling of the metal, and remain- ing chemically fixed in the state of a pro- toxide scattered in the mass of metal, the presence of this oxygen seriously affects the mass of the metal. Copper containing pro- toxide is more brittle and less malleable when cold. Yet the presence of a small proportion of this protoxide is not altogether devoid of advantages; it prevents the ab- sorption of hydrogen, or rather its dissolu- tion in the liquid copper; were such gas set | free at the melting point the metal would get blistered. Thus the protoxide pushes, as it were, other substances out of the way, which, like bismuth, would be very injurious in the finished copper. In the case of iron the presence of protoxide tends to make it less brittle, while nickel is rendered less ductile by the presence of protoxide. But this is not all. The metal may contain bodies which at the melting point reduce the oxides and produce volatile compounds of oxygen. As these are set free they produce effects similar to sputtering ; the cast metal shows honeycombs which, when brought under the hammer or the rolling mil], may be crushed out of existence, yet, while dis- appearing, leave certain seams in the manu factured article unless the work be carried on in such a way as to cause the surfaces of the blister to be welded together. This, however, is a very exceptional occurrence, even in the case of metals that have a dispo- sition that way. On the other hand, a vola- tile compound is not infrequently formed at the expense of the oxygen and of a com- bination existing in a metallic bath. Take, for example, cast iron, the carbon of which, in combining with the oxygen of oxide of iron, forms carbonic oxide which is readily set free. ‘ case of nickel being cast In melting black copper the oxide of copper reacts upon the sulphuret of copper so as to cause SO, to be set free, and soon. It stands to reason that very small proportions vf gas can produce a immense expansion at the temperature to which they are subjected. My own experience goes to show that these reactions are not necessarily short- lived. They spread over a period of more or less duration, which depends on the de- gree of affinity between the oxygen on the one hand and the metalloid and metal onthe other, as well as on the relative proportions of these substances within the bath. The greater the difference in the affinities the quicker the reaction ; the less abundant the active compounds are in proportion to the mass of the bath the longer the reaction must necessarily last. In other words, the exchanges in the metallic baths follow the same laws as the double decompositions in aqueous liquors. The precipitates that may form in this last case are formed within a lapse of time varying with the dilution of | the :eagents, and when the double decom- position shows itself by change of color the actual process does not show all at once. Ifa drop of very dilute chloride of iron be added | cent. of oxygen combined with iron. to a solution of ferro-cyanide of potassium, 30 seconds or more may elapse before MFG. CO., NEW YORK, the blue coloring appears—that is to say, of metal | before the double decomposition commences the less | to take place. A similar phenomenon may be observed when a very diluted solution of chloride be added to iodide of potassium and starch. In the same way, if a drop to a very diluted liquid of neutral sulphate of manganese, several minutes may elapse before the red coloring of permanganate | disappears. It may thus be understood that in iron containing protoxide of iron carbon may remain, and that in a certain copper | both sulphuret and oxide of copper may keep a place, even after these metals have been in a liquid state for some time; but the quantity of one of these active bodies is necessarily reduced in pro- portion as the other is all the more abun- dant and as the two compounds may have | acted on one another for a longer time. In | the aforementioned examples the action of | oxide of iron on carburet, and of oxide of copper on sulphuret, takes place without interruption, and shows itself by constant escape of gas ; but intensity of the reaction decreases in proportion as the quantity of one of the active compounds grows less. The combined oxygen may be removed, or | at least its injurious influence greatly re-'! duced, by adding to the molten metal sub- | stances that have a disposition for taking in | oxygen, the oxygenated compounds of which | are readily separated from the molten metal, or which, if they remain dissolved therein, produce a less marked influence than the | oxide of the metal itself. The setting free} of gas arising from the twofold decomposi- tion of oxide with carbon and of oxide with sulphuret of copper cannot take place if the newly-formed oxygenated compound cannot be decomposed by either coal or sulphur. To destroy the oxide of iron in the molten iron, manganese is used; to destroy the protoxide of copper in copper and bronze, phosphorus is used, while the magnesium added to molten nickel plays, according to Fleitmann, a part similar to that of man- ganese or phosphorus in the preceding ex- $4.50 a Year, Including Tostage.

In all these operations the desired object can only be achieved by using an ex- cess of the reagent, and in this, as in the xic | preceding cases, the whole of the oxide in Something similar happens in the; existence can be decomposed only after the contact has lasted a very long time at the melting point. Just as there will always be small quantities of oxide remaining in highly carbureted iron, and small quantities of : | sulphur in copper containing oxide, so there very considerable influence, owing to their | will also be traces of oxide of iron found in iron containing manganese, and traces of oxide of copper in phosphorated copper or bronze. In some descriptions of steel con taining from 0.14 to 0 37 per cent. of man ganese and from 0.12 to 0.32 per cent. of car- bon I have found as much as 0.012 to0.03 pr Ex- amples of phosphorus or manganese bronze still containing oxygen will be given in the sequel. Since it was first found that small quanti- ties of oxygen are often retained in solid metal, great efforts have been made to find the exact proportion of this oxygen. Al- though many experiments have been made on the subject, the number of anayses to which credence can be attached is too lim ited for this metallurgical problem to be looked upon as solved. We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that, owing to the difficulty of finding the exact proportion of oxygen in the presence of the great excess of free metal, and in default of methods of analyzing suited toa number of single metals or alloys, it is as yet impossible for us to accurately ascert iin such propcrtion of oxygen in more than a very few simple metals or alloys. In the case of harder metals that are subjected to a fil- ing or drilling process, the first obstacle in the way of an accurate analysis is the fact that all the tools without any exception have a layer of grease on them. When filings or shavings are heated in a test tube they always emit a more or less pungent smell of burned grease. The only means of get- ting rid of this grease is to hold the file or bit in a fire first, but by so doing a slight layer of oxide is produced on the surface of the tool, which oxide mixes itself up more or less with the filings or shavings. As far as the analysis itself is concerned, one out of two methods may be chosen. The metal experimented on may be brought up to red heat in a current of pure, dry hydrogen, for the purpose of collecting and weighing the water contained in the metal. This is the first method. The second method rests on the tendency possessed by certain solvents to attack and dissolve the free metal, leaving its oxyge- nated combination insoluble. When the metal under operation and all the substances accompany ing it are reducible by hydrogen, and the proportion of all the oxygen exist ing therein in any one form is to be asvertained, this second method is obviously the best. However, as Hampe has shown, the results of this method are not conclusive as regards the repaititio: of the oxygen among the cilfesent sub- stances dealt with. As a matter of course it cannot be applied in the case cf metals that are not reducible by hydrogen; nay, if one of these metals is mixed with but a small proportion of reducible metal, there is still a likelihood of the return being inac- curate, for the irreducible oxide may resist the bydrogen, or, as stated heretolore, be but partly reduced, against its will, as it were. Thus, for example, the aggregate quantity of oxygen contained in iron can only be determined by calcination if there be neither manganese nor silicon therein ; otherwise there is good reason for appre- hending that part of the oxygen remains hidden in the shaps of oxide of manganese or silica. The fact that the addition to molten steel neutralizes the injurious effect of sulphur (which it is well known is similar to that of oxygen) in the same way, without removing the sulphur from the bath (as proven by analysis), makes it appear likely that this action is based rather on the forma- tion of a compound between oxygen and manganese than upon any real elimination, although the reduction of the manganese contents, always observed, poiuts to an elimination. (To be continued.) a C. L. Strobel, of Pittsburgh, Pa., has pat- ented a process of manufacturing eye-bars having enlarged ends and a smaller shank or body between such ends. Heretofore the ends of the bar were heated and worked while the body was cold, which would pro duce a weadening of the neck, especially in stecl. The entire bar had therefore to be restored to its normal condition by anneal- ing the same. To overcome these difficulties the inventor forges on a billet or slab en- largements of approximately the fini-hed shape of head, and then rebeats the blank so formed and rolls it to the required length and form without subsequent reheating. Thus the metal of the bar is brought to its final shape while the entire bar is in a uni- . formly heated condition, and consequently the formation of any injurious strain is avoided, THH IRON AGH.
