VAN NOSTRAND COMPANY in- It b APR -5 1917 PRICE, $Jr^O-()....- ™l^ ©GI.A460168 PREFACE While there is Kttle a foundryman needs to know which has not been fully treated by competent authori- ties, there is not, so far as I am aware, any summary of this great mass of publications. In a foundry experience covering many years, I have frequently spent hours at a time in searching for special information. Believing, therefore, that a compilation of this matter, with authoritative instruction for the solu- tion of the many problems which are continually pre- sented in the foundry, all properly arranged for ready reference, would receive a favorable reception, an attempt has been made to meet this need by the production of this book. The material for the Manual has been drawn from every available source. The proceedings of the American Foundrymen's Association have furnished no end of information. The publications of Professors Turner, Porter, Reis, Dr. Moldenke, Messrs. Keep, Longmuir, Outerbridge, West and others have been most carefully searched. Much has been taken from '' The Foundry, '^ '' Castings " and '' Iron Age." A great many of the " Foundry " records are given in full. Possibly, in some cases, special credit for extracts has not been accorded; for such omissions indulgence is asked, as there has been no intentional neglect or lack of courtesy. iii iv Preface In the selection of the material for the book, proper consideration has been taken of beginners and others who may have not gotten very far in their acquisition of foundry information. For such men, it is also hoped the book will be of good service. As regards the price Ksts and discounts which are given in connection with many foundry supplies, it should be stated that these are not quoted as current prices. They are offered simply as furnishing a guide to close approximation of costs. The matter for the preHminary portion of the book relating to elementary Mathematics, Mechanics, etc., has been taken in large part from such authorities as Rankine, Bartlett, Wentworth, Trau twine, Kent, Jones and Laughlin, Carnegie Steel Co., and the Encyclopedia Britannica.

FOUNDERS MANUAL ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS CHAPTER I SECTION I ARITHMETIC It is deemed unnecessary to present anything under this branch of mathematics, except Ratio and Proportion, Square and Cube Roots, Alligation and Percentage. These operations are applied so frequently in the foundry that, it is believed, a simple explanation of them will not be out of place. Ratio and Proportion The ratio of two numbers is the relation which the first bears to the second and is equivalent to a fraction obtained by dividing the first number by the second. Thus: S : 7 = f or 7:5 = 1- When the first of four numbers is the same fraction of the second, as the third is of the fourth, the first has the same ratio to the second as the third has to the fourth, and the four numbers are in proportion. Pro- portion, therefore, is the equality of two ratios. Thus: t = T3 = I- The proportion is expressed, 4 : 6 :: lo : 15, and is read, 4 is to 6 as 10 • is to 15. The first and fourth terms are called the extremes; the second and third the means. The product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means; thus in the above proportion 4 X 15 = 6 X 10 = 60. Hence where three terms of the proportion are known the fourth can be found. 2 Arithmetic Thus: Find the number to which lo bears the same ratio as 4 does to 6. 4 : 6 :: 10 : required number. Required number equals -\°- =15. Where one extreme and both means are known, to find the other extreme, divide the product of the means by the known extreme. Where both extremes and one mean are known, to find the other mean, divide the product of the extremes by the known mean. For the purpose of illustrating these rules replace the figures in a proportion, by the letters A, B, C, D, and write A : B :: C : D; then, AD-BC,^--^,A-—,D--j-,B-—,C.-—. To state the terms ot a simple proportion where three are given; place that as the third term which is of the same kind as the required term; then consider whether the required term should be greater or less than the third term; if greater, make the greater of the two remaining terms the second and the other the first term. But if the required term should be less than the third term, place the smaller of the first two as the second term and the greater as the first. Thus: What is the price, per net ton, of pig iron sold at $17.50 gross ton? As the price is required, $17.50 becomes the third term. Since the net price is less than the gross, 2000 is the second term and 2240 the first. The proportion is then written: 2240 : 2000 :: $17.50 : answer. 2000 X $17.50 2240 $15.62 = required price. Therefore, the net price is equal to the gross multiplied by 0.892 +; or $17.50 X .892 = $15.62; or the net price being known the gross is equal to the net multi- Compound Proportion Where the ratio of two quantities depends upon a combination of other ratios, the proportion becomes a compound proportion. In this as in simple proportion, there is but one third term, and it is of the same kind as the required term; there may be two or more first and second terms. Set down the third term as in simple proportion; consider each pair of terms of the same kind separately and as terms of a simple pro- portion, and arrange them in the same manner, making the greater of Roots of Numbers 3 the pair the second term, if the answer considered with reference to this pair alone should be greater than the tishd term; or the reverse if it should be less. Set down the terms under each other in their order of first and second terms. Multiply the product of all the second terms by the third term and divide this product by that of all the first terms. Example. — If 36 men working 10 hours per day perform | of a piece of work in 17 days, how long must 25 men work daily to complete the work in 16 days? The length of the day will be greater the fewer the men, and the fewer the days are; and less, the less the work is; hence, the above problem is stated as follows: Men 25 : 36 :: 10 Days 16 : 17 :: Fifths of work 3 : 2 36 X 17 X 2 X 10 25 X 16 X 3 5J. = 10.2 hours per day. Roots of Numbers To Extract the Square Root of a Given Number Point off the nuniber into periods of two figures each, beginning with units; if there are decimals, begin at the decimal point, separating the whole number to the left and the decimal to the right into such periods, supplying as many ciphers in groups of two, as may be desired. Find the greatest number whose square is less than the first left hand period and place this to the right of the given nimiber as the first figure of the root. Subtract its square from the first left hand period and to the remainder annex the second period for a dividend. Place before this as a partial divisor, double the root figure just found. Find how many times the dividend, exclusive of its right hand figure, contains the divisor, and place the quotient as the second figure of the root, and also at the right of the partial divisor. Multiply the divisor thus completed, by the second root figure and subtract the product from the dividend. To this remainder annex the next period for a new dividend, and double the two root figures for a new partial divisor. Proceed as before until all the periods have been brought down. Arithmetic Example. — Extract the square root of 7840.2752 -f. 78'40.27'52/88.S453 64 168)1440 1344 1765)9627 8825 17704)80252 70816 77085)943600 885425 1770903)5817500 5312709 To Extract the Square Root of a Fraction Find the roots of the numerator and denominator separately; or reduce to a decimal and take its root. Example.— y ^ = — ^ = ^ ; or ^ = 0.5625, V0.5625 = 0.75. To Extract the Cube Root of a Number Beginning at the right, point off the number into periods of three figures each. If there are decimals, begin at the decimal point, separate the whole number to the left, and the decimal at the right into such periods; find the greatest cube contained in the left-hand period, and write its root as the first figure of the root required. Subtract the cube of the first root figure from the left-hand period, and to the remainder annex the next period for a dividend. Then multiply the square of the first figure of the root by 300 and use the prod- uct as a trial divisor; write the quotient as the second root figure. Complete the trial divisor by adding to it 30 times the product of the first root figure by the second, and the square of the second; multiply the completed divisor by the second root figure and subtract the product from the dividend. To the remainder annex the next period and proceed as before, to find the third figure of the root, i.e., square the first two figures of the root and multiply by 300 for a trial divisor. To this add 30 times the product of the first two root figures by the third, and the square of the third for the completed divisor, etc. The cube root will always contain as many figures as there are periods in the given number. Percentage Example. — Extract the cube root of 7^-402^ 752 78'402'752/428. 64 4^ X 300 = 4800 14402 4 X 2 X 30 = 240 4 5044 10088 422 X 300 = 529200 4314752 42 X 8 X 30 = 10080 82 = 64 539344 4314752 Alligation Alligation is the process of determining the value of a mixture of different substances, when the quantity and value of each substance is known. Rule. — Take the sum of all the products of the quantity of each substance by its respective price, and divide it by the total quantity; the result is the value of one unit of the mixture. Example. — What is the value per ton of a mixture containing 500 lbs. of pig iron at $18.00 per ton, 275 lbs. at $16.50 and 800 lbs. of scrap at $14.00? 500 X 18 = 9000 275 X 16.5 = 4537-50 800 X 14 = 11200.00 i57S 24737-50 — = $15,706 per ton. 1575 Percentage Per cent means so many parts of 100, and is expressed decimally as three per cent .03, meaning jf q; one-fourth of one per cent .0025 = ToVoo- Percentage covers the operations of finding the part of a given number at a given rate per cent; as 6 per cent of 2750, 2750 X .06 = 165.00; of finding what per cent one number is of another as:.

The first letters of the alphabet are used to denote known quantities, and the last letters unknown quantities. The sign + (plus) denotes that the quantity before which it is placed is to be added to some other quantity. Thus: a + b denotes the sum of a and b. The sign — (minus) denotes that the quantity before which it is placed is to be subtracted from some other quantity. Thus: a — b denotes that b is to be subtracted from a. When no sign is prefixed to a quantity, + is always understood. Quantities are said to have like or unlike signs, according as their signs are like or unlike. 8 Algebra A quantity which consists of one term is said to be simple; but if it consists of several terms connected by the signs + or — , it is said to be compound. Thus: a or — b are simple quantities; but — a — & is a compound quantity. Addition of Like Quantities Add together the coefi&cients of the quantities having like signs, and subtract the negative sum from the positive. Thus: Add 7 a -\- 2 Oy 2, a — a, and 6 a — 4 a. y a — a 2 a — 4a 3^ 6 a 18 a — 5 a = 13 a. Addition of Unlike Quantities If some of the quantities are unlike, proceed as before with each like 'quantity, and write down the algebraic sum of all the quantities. Thus: Add 7a-\-2b, ^a — b,6b — 4a and 5^ — 46. y a — 4a 2b — b S a — 6b — 4b 5a 1$ a — 4a 86 — 56 — 4a — 5& II a 36 Answer = 11 a + 3 J. The process is the same with compound quantities. Thus: Add a^b + 2 cd^ to - 2 a?b + cJ^ = 3 c(P - a^b. Subtraction Change the sign of the subtrahend and proceed as in addition. Thus: Subtract ^ a^b — g c from 4 a^b + c; changing the signs of the subtra- hend and adding, the expressions may be written 4a^b — ^a^b -\- c-\- gc or a^b + 10 c. Multiplication If the quantities to be multiplied have like signs, the sign of the product is + ; if they have unlike signs, that of the product is — . Powers of Quantities g Of Simple Quantities Multiply the coefficients together and prefix the + or — sign, accord- ing as the signs of the quantities are like or unlike. Thus: Multiply -\- ahy -\- b. Product equals -f- ab. Multiply + 5 5 by — 4 c. Product equals — 20 be. Multiply — ^axhy -\- yab. Product equals — 21 a^x. Of Compound Quantities Multiply each term of the multiplicand by all the terms of the multi- plier, one after the other as by former rule; collect their products into one sum for the required product. Example. — Multiply a — b + c by a + b — c a^ — /lifS -\- flc + aif - 62 + he — a-c + be -c^ a^ -b^ + 2be- c^ Multiply 2X+ y by X — 2 y 2x^ -\- xy — 4 xy — 2 y^ 20^— TyXy— 2'f Powers of Quantities The products arising from the continued multiplication of the same quantity by itself are called powers of that quantity; and the quantity itself is called the root. The product of two or more powers of any quantity is the quantity with an exponent equal to the sum of the exponents of the powers. Thus: a2 X a^ = flS. fl2j X aJ = aW\ 4 a6 X — 3 ac = — i.2a^be. The square of the sum of two quantities equals the sum of their squares plus twice their product. {a + 6)2 = a2 + 62 + 2 ab. The square of the difference of two quantities is the sum of their squares minus twice their product. (a - 6)2 = a2 + 62 - 2 ab. 10 Algebra The product of the sum and difference of two quantities is equal to the difference of their squares. (a + b) (a-b) =0"- ¥. The squares of half the sum of two quantities is equal to their product plus the square of half their difference. Thus: ia + hY , , {a - h^ = ab -] 2 2 The square of a trinomial is equal to the sum of the squares of each term plus twice the product of each term by each of its following terms- Thus: {a + b + cy = a^ + b^ + c^ + 2ab-\-2ac-\-2bc. (a — b — cf = a^ -\- b^ -{- c^ — 2 ab — 2 ac -{- 2 be. Parenthesis ( ) When a parenthesis is preceded by a plus sign, it may be removed without changing the value of the expression. Thus: {a + b)-}-(a + b) = 2a+2b. But if preceded by a minus sign,' if removed, the signs of all the terms within the parenthesis must be changed. Thus: (a + b) — {a — b)=a + b — a + b = 2b. When a parenthesis is within a parenthesis, remove the inner one first. Thus: a-[b-[c-{d- e)]] = a - [b - [c - d + e]] = a — [b — c + d — e] = a — b + c — d -{- e. Where the sign of multiplication ( X ) appears, the operation indicated by it must be performed before that of addition or subtraction. Division If the sign of the divisor and dividend be like, the sign of the quotient is plus (+); but if they be unlike the sign of the quotient is minus (— ). To Divide a Monomial by a Monomial Write the dividend over the divisor with a line between them. If the expressions have common factors remove them. Thus: ,, , a^bx ax a^ 1 „ a^x -V- aby = —r— = — ;i = "i = ^~ aby y a^ a^ To Divide a Polynomial by a Monomial Divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial. Thus: (8 a6 — 12 ac) 4- 4 a = 2 6 — 3 c. Simple Equations ii To Divide a Polynomial by a Polynomial Arrange the terms of both dividend and divisor according to the as- cending or descending powers of some letter, and keep this arrangement throughout the operation. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, and write the result as the first term of the quotient. Multiply all the terms of the divisor by the first term of the quotient and subtract the product from the dividend. If there is a remainder consider it as a new dividend and proceed as before. Thus: {a' - b') -^ia + b) a + b)a^ -b\a -b a^ + ab -ab- -62 -ab- -62 (i) The difference between two equal powers of the same quantities is divisible by their difference. (2) The difference between two equal even powers of the same quan- tities is divisible by their sum or difference. (3) The sum of two equal even powers of the same quantities is not divisible by their sum or difference. (4) The sum of two equal odd powers of the same quantities is divisible by their sum, (5) The sum of two equal even powers, whose exponents are composed of odd and even factors, is divisible by the sum of the powers of the quantities expressed by the even factor. Thus: {x^ + y) is divisible by (x^ + y^). Simple Equations An equation is a statement of equahty between two expressions; as a-\-b = c -{- d. A simple equation, or equation of the first degree, is one which contains only the first power of the unknown quantity. If both sides of the equation be changed equally, by addition, sub- traction, multiplication or division, the equality will not be disturbed. Any term of an equation may be changed from one side to the other provided its sign be changed. Thus: a-]-b = c-{-d, a = c + d — b. 1^ Algebra To Solve an Equation Having One Unknown Quantity Transpose all the terms containing the unknown quantity to one side of the equation, and aU the other terms to the other side. Combine like terms, and divide both sides by the coefi&cient of the unknown quantity. Thus: 8 .T — 29 = 26 — 3 X, 11 a; = 55, a; = 5. Simple algebraic problems containing one unknown quantity, are solved by making x equal the unknown quantity, and stating the con- ditions of the problem in the form of an algebraic equation, then solving the equation. Thus : What two nmnbers are those whose sum is 48 and difference 14? Let X = the smaller nmnber. Then a? -1- 14 = the greater number. ic + a; + 14 = 48, 2x = 2>A- Therefore x= IT, and a; + 14 = 31, 31 + 17 = 48. Find the number whose treble exceeds 50 by as much as its double falls short of 40. Let X = the number. Then 3 a; — 50 = 40 — 2 x, 5 a; = 90, X = 18. Equations Containing Two Unknown Quantities If one equation contains two unknown quantities, an indefinite number of pairs of values for them may be found, which will satisfy the equation; but if a second equation be given, only one pair of values can be found that will satisfy both equations. Simultaneous equations, or those which may be satisfied by the same values of the unknown quantity, are solved by combining the equations so as to obtain a single equation containing only one unknown quantity. This process is called elimination. Elimination by Addition or Subtraction Multiply the equations by such a number as will make the coefficients of one of the unknown quantities equal in both. Add or subtract according as they have like or unlike signs. Elimination by Comparison 13 Solve 2x-\- sy = 7 4X- 5y= 3 Multiply by 2 4^ + 6 y = 14 Subtract 4-^— 5 y = 3 II y = II y = ^^ Substituting the value of y in the first equation 2X -\- $ = 7, .'. X = 2. Elimination by Substitution From one of the equations obtain the value of one of the unknown quantities in terms of the other. Substitute this value of this imknown quantity for it, in the other equation, and reduce the resulting equations. Solve . 2 a: + 3 y = 8 (i) 3 X + 7 y = 7 (2) From (i) x = ^~^^ 2 Substituting this value in (2) (8 — ^ y) 3- — -^ 1-73' = 7, 24-93;+ i4y= 14, .••y=--2. Substituting this value in (i); 2 a; — 6 = 8, :. x = 7. Elimination by Comparison From each equation obtain the value of one of the unknown quantities, in terms of the other. Form an equation from these equal values of the same unknown quantity and reduce. Solve 2a; — gy = II (i) 3^-4^= 7 (2) From (i) x = =^^ 2 From (2) X = ^-^^l^ 3 Placing the values of i»; in a new equation ii + gy 7 + 4y — ^= ^ , 19^=- 19, .-. y=-i. Substituting this value of 3; in (i) 2« + 9 = II, .'. X = I. 14 Algebra If three simultaneous equations are given containing three unknown quantities, one of the unknown quantities must be eliminated between two pairs of the equations, then a- second between the two resulting equations. Quadratic Equations or Equations of the Second Degree A quadratic equation contains the square of the unknown quantity, but no higher power. A pure quadratic contains the square only; an adfected quadratic contains both the square and the first power. To Solve a Pure Quadratic * Collect the unknown quantities on one side, and the known quantities on the other; divide by the coefficient of the unknown quantity and extract the square root of each side of the resulting equation. Solve 3 ^c^ — 15 = o. _ Sx- = 15, .'. x^ = s, x = V5. A root which is indicated, but can only be found approximately is called a surd. Solve 3 a;2 + 15 = o. 3 a;2 = — 15, x^ = - 5, .'. X = V- 5. The square root of a negative quantity cannot be found even approxi- mately, for the square of any number is positive; therefore, a root which is indicated, but cannot be found approximately is called imaginary. To Solve an Adfected Quadratic First. — Carry all the terms involving the unknown quantities to one side of the equation and the known quantities to the other side. Arrange the unknown quantities in the order of their exponents, changing the signs of the equation if necessary, so that the sign of the term containing the square of the unknown quantity shall be positive. Second. — Divide both terms by the coefficient of the square of the unknown quantity. Third. — To complete the square. Add to both sides of the equation, the square of half the coefficient of the unknown quantity. The side containing the unknown quantity will now be a perfect square. Fourth. — Extract the square root of both sides of the equation and solve the resulting simple equation. Example. — a;^ + 2 a: = 35. Add the square of half the coefficient of x, which is i, to both sides; then x^ + 2 x -\- 1 = $s + ^ = 3^' Plane Geometry 15 Extracting the square root x + i = V^ = rb 6 X = 6 - 1 = s x=— 6 — i = — y. Example: 3 rc^ — 4^ = 32. Divide by the coefficient of x^ x^-^ = ^. 3 3 Add the square of half the coefficient of x, which equals {^Y = f ; then ^2_|^ + i=3_2_|.4, Extracting the square root, the equation becomes x-i = VI^ = V- ^ = ¥ + f = 4, or X = - -1/ + I = - f = - 2f. Since the square of a quantity has two roots =t, a quadratic equation has apparently two solutions. Both solutions may be correct; but in some cases one may be correct and the other inconsistent with the con- ditions of the problem. For the solution of quadratic equations containing two unknown quantities, or for that of equations of a higher order, a more extended treatment of the subject is required, than is permissible in a book of this character.

All Angles in a semicircle are Right Angles. Problem 12 An Angle at the Center of a Circle is Twice the Angle at the Circumference when Both Stand on the same Arc P Thus the angle BAC is equal to twice the angle BDC. (Fig. II.)

Problem 21 To Construct a Pentagon having a Given Side AB. (Fig. 19.) At B erect a perpendicular BC, equal to one-half AB. Draw AC and make CD equal BC. Then BD is the radius of the circle circumscribing a pentagon having sides equal to AB. The radius of a given circle is the side of an in- scribed hexagon. The radius of a circle circumscribing a hexagon, is equal to the distance from the center of the hexa- gon to the extremity of one of its sides. Fig. 19. Plane Geometry 21 Problem 22 To Construct an Ellipse when the Transverse and Conjugate Axes are Given. (Fig. 20.) Draw the axes AB and CD intersecting at G. From C, with one- half ^5 as a radius, cut AB dit E and F. Divide GB into any number of parts as at i, 2, 3, 4, 5. With £ as a center and ^ i as a radius, and with i^ as a center and radius B i, strike arcs cutting each other at i, i, above and below the transverse axis. Again with E and F as centers and A 2 and B 2, respectively as radii, describe arcs cutting each other at 2, 2. Find as many points as desired in the same way in both halves of the ellipse, then trace the curve. This construction depends on the property of an ellipse; that the sum of the distances from the foci to any point on the ellipse is equal to the transverse axis. Problem 23 To Describe an Ellipse Mechanically when the Transverse and Con- jugate Axes are Known. (Fig. 21.) Draw the axes and determine the foci as in Problem 22. Drive two pins at the foci E and F. Fasten to each of the pins one end of a cord whose length is equal to that of the transverse axis. Then with a pencil, so placed within the loop of the cord as always to keep it taut and uniformly strained, trace one-half of the curve, from one extremity of the trans- verse axis to the other. The other half of the curve is traced by chang- ing the cord and pencil to the oppo- site side of the transverse axis. This method is seldom satisfactory on account of the unequal stretching of the cord. A better mechanical method of describing an ellipse is to place a straight edge along and above the transverse axis and another along and 1° 1 A B C Fig. 21. 22 Plane Geometry at one side of the conjugate axis, as at AB and CD (Fig. 21), leaving a slight opening between the end of the straight edge CD and the transverse axis. There must also be a thin strip of wood with a hole for pencil point at A and small pins at B and C; AB being equal to one-half of the conju- gate axis; and AC equal to one-half the transverse axis. By moving this strip so that the pin B is always in contact with AB and the pin C in like contact with CD the upper half of the ellipse may be de- scribed. The straight edges are placed in corresponding positions on the opposite side of the transverse axis to describe the other half of the ellipse. Except where extreme accuracy is required, it is more convenient to approximate the ellipse with circular arcs. Thus: Lay o& AB and CD (Fig. 22) equal to the transverse and conjugate axes respectively. Make Oa and Oc equal to the difference between the serai-transverse and semi-conjugate axes, and ad equal to one-half ac. Set off Oe equal to Od. Draw di parallel to ac; join e and i and draw. the parallel lines dm and em. From m, with a radius mC, strike an arc cutting md and me. From i, with iD as a radius, strike an arc cutting id and ie. Then from d and e, with radius Ad, strike arcs closing the figure. The Parabola A parabola is a curve every point of which is equidistant from a line called the directrix and from a point on its axis called the focus. The directrix is a line perpendicular to the axis and at the same distance as the focus from the apex of the curve. A line perpendicular to the axis, drawn through the focus to the curve, is called the parameter. If a line be drawn from any point of the curve, perpendicular to the axis, the distance from the apex to the intersection of the perpendicular with the axis is called the abscissa of that point and the distance from the intersection at the axis to the curve is called the ordinate of that point. Abscissae of a parabola are as the squares of corresponding ordl- nates. The HypeTholsL 23 Problem 24 To Construct a Parabola when the Focus and Directrix are Given. (Fig. 23.) Let AB he the directrix, and C the focus of a parabola. Bisect CD at E, which point is the apex of the curve. Then with C as a center and any radii, as C I, C 2, etc., strike arcs at i, 2 and 3, etc. From Z> as a center and with the radii equal to C i, C 2, C 3, etc., cut the axis at i', 2', 3', etc. Through these points draw lines parallel to AB. The intersection of corresponding parallels and arcs are points on the required curve. Problem 25 To Construct a Parabola when an Abscissa and Its Corre- sponding Ordinate are Given. (Fig. 24.) Fig. 23. A ^ A \\ / TA. /■ \ A / . \\ '^' F .^-^E Ad Fig. 24. Let BA be the given abscissa and AD the ordinate. Bisect AD at E. Draw EB, and EF perpendicular to EB. Set off BG and BK, each equal to AF. Then will G be the focus and LM (through K) perpendicular to AB, the directrix. Construct the curve as in Problem 24. The Hyperbola An hyperbola is a curve, such that the difference of the distances from any point of it to two fixed points is always equal to a given distance. The two fixed points are called the foci and the given distance is the transverse axis. The conjugate axis is a line perpendicular to the trans- verse axis at its middle point; and its length is equal to the side of a rectangle, of which the transverse axis is the other side and the distance between the foci, the diagonal. Problem 26 To Construct an Hyperbola when the Foci and Transverse Axis are Given Let A and B be the foci and EF the transverse axis. From A set off AG equal to EF. Then, from ^ as a center and with any distance greater than AF z.°, 3. radius, strike an arc CD, cutting the transverse 24 Plane Geometry axis (prolonged) at H. From 5 as a center and HG as a radius, describe arcs cutting the arc CD at C and D. C and D will be points on the curve; in like manner any number of points are determined, through which the curve may be traced. Proceeding in the- same way on the opposite side of the conjugate axis, the other branch of the curve is constructed. The diagonals of a rectangle constructed on the transverse and conjugate axes are called the asymptotes and are lines to which the curve is tangent at an infinite distance. When the asymp- totes are at right angles the curve is called an equi- ^'^- ^5- lateral hyperbola. It is a property of the equilateral hyperbola, that if the asymptotes be taken as the co-ordinate axes the product of the abscissa and ordinate of any point of the curve is equal to the corresponding product of the co-ordinates at any other point; or that the diagonal of a rectangle con- structed by the ordinate and abscissa of any point of the curve passes through the intersection of the axes. Problem 27 Given the Asymptotes and any Point on the Curve, to Construct the Curve. (Fig. 26.) Let AB and ^G be the asymptotes and D the given point. Multiply AB by AE and divide the product AB XAE by any other distance AF; then AG AF and the intersection at / of lines through F and G, parallel to the axes, is another point on the curve. / / I / \ \ n ^ \ \\ ^-^ ^ ^s ^ F Fig. 26. Properties of Plane Figures (i) In a right angle triangle, the square of the hypothenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. (2) In an equilateral triangle all the angles are equal. (3) In an isosceles triangle a line drawn from the vertex perpendicular to the base bisects the base and also the angle at the vertex. (4) An exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two opposite angles. (5) Similar triangles have equal angles and the sides opposite to corresponding angles are proportional. Properties of Plane Figures 25 (6) In any polygon, the sum of all the interior angles is equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides, less four right angles. (7) In any polygon the sum of all the exterior angles is equal to four right angles, or 360°. (8) The diagonals of any regular polygon intersect at the center of the figure. (9) A circle may be passed through any three points, not on the same straight line. (10) In the same circle, arcs are proportional to the angles at the center. (11) Any two arcs having the same angle at the center are propor- tional to their radii. (12) Areas of circles are proportional to the squares of their diameters or the squares of the radii, (13) A radius perpendicular to the chord of an arc bisects the arc and its chord. (14) A straight line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency. (15) An angle at the center of the circle is equal to twice the angle afthe circumference subtended by the same arc. (16) Angles at the circumference of a circle, standing on the same arc, are equal. (17) Any triangle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angled tri- angle. (18) In any triangle inscribed in a segment of a circle, the angles at the circumference are equal. (19) Parallel chords or a chord and a parallel tangent intercept equal arcs. (20) If two chords of a circle intersect, the rectangles made by the segments of the respective chords are equal. (21) If one of the chords is a diameter of the circle and the other is perpendicular to it, then one-half of the chord is a mean proportional between the segments of the diameter. (22) In any circle, with the center as the origin of co-ordinates, the sum of the squares of the abscissa and ordinate of any point is equal to the square of the radius, or x^ -\- y^ =^ R^. (23) In any ellipse with same origin, the square of the abscissa of any point multiplied by the square of the semi-conjugate axis plus the square of the ordinate of same point multiplied by the square of the semi- transverse axis is equal to the square of the product of the semi-axes. Thus: -BV _j_ j^2y2 = ^2^2^ where A and B are the semi-transverse and semi-conjugate axes. 26 Mensuration (24) In an ellipse, lines drawn from any point to the foci make equal angles with a tangent at that point. (25) The sum of the distances from any point of an ellipse to the foci is equal to the transverse axis. (26) If from any point of a parabola a line be drawn to the focus, and one parallel to the axis, they will make equal angles with the tangent at that point. (27) The apex of a parabola bisects the distance on the axis from the focus to the directrix. (28) The angle between two tangents to a parabola is equal to half the angle at the focus, subtended by the chord joining the points of tangency. (29) The area included between any chord of a parabola and the curve is equal to two-thirds that of the triangle formed by the chord and tangents through its extremities. (30) The difference between the focal distances of any point of an hyperbola is equal to the transverse axis. (31) The product of the perpendiculars from the foci to any tangent of an hyperbola is constant. (32) A tangent at any point of an hyperbola makes equal angles with the focal distances of the point. SECTION IV MENSURATION PLANE SURFACES Triangles The area of any triangle is equal to half the base multiplied by the altitude. (Fig. 27.) AB Area = XCD. To solve a triangle, three sides, two angles and one side or two sides and one angle must be given. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the base multiplied by the perpendicular distance between the sides =- AB X CD. (Fig. 28.) Fio. 2$. Triangles The area of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the parallel sides multiplied by the per- pendicular distance between them. (Fig. 29.) 27 A \. Area AB + CD X CE. Fig. 29. Fig. 30. The area of a trapezium is equal to the diagonal multiplied by half the sum of the perpendiculars dropped to it from the vertices of the opposite angles. (Fig. 30.) The area of any quadrilateral is found by multiplying the diagonal by one-half the sum of the perpendiculars dropped from the vertices of the opposite angles. (Fig. 31.) DE + BF Area = AC X Fig. 31. F E Fig. 32. If the diagonal falls without the figure, the area is equal to the product of the diagonal by half the difference of the perpendiculars. (Fig. 32.) Area =ABCD = AC X ^^~^^ . A polygon is a plane figure bounded by three or more straight lines; it is regular or irregular according as the lines bounding it are equal or unequal. If straight lines be drawn from the center of a regular polygon to each of the vertices of the interior angles, the polygon will be divided into as many isosceles triangles as it has sides. Each triangle will have for its base one of the sides of the polygon and for its altitude the perpendicular distance from the center of the polygon to that side. The area of the polygon is equal to the sum of the areas of all the triangles, and is found by multiplying one-half the sum of all the sides of the polygon by the perpendicular distance from the center to one of its sides. To find the area of an irregular polygon, divide the polygon into triangles and take the sum of their areas. Fig. 33. To Find the Area of Any Irregular Plane Figure Let C D EF G he any irregular figure. Draw any straight line AB as a base; through the ^extremities of the figure drop perpendiculars £3^56789 10 28 Mensuration CA and FB to the base. Divide AB into any number of equal parts, say lo. Through the middle points of each of the equal divisions draw perpendiculars cutting the boundaries of the figure on opposite sides. Take the sum of the lengths of all these lines within the figure and divide such sum by the number of divisions; the' quotient is the mean width of the figure which multipHed by its length AB gives the area. TJ Thus: ab -{- cd + ef etc. = H; then — X AB equals the area of CDEFG. The Circle The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is equal to 3.14159. This is represented by the Greek letter x, pronounced Pi. Let C = the circumference of any circle. D = the diameter of any circle. r = the radius of any circle. A = area of any circle. The areas of circles are as the squares of their diameters, or as the squares of their radii. C = 7rZ> = 3-14159 X D. C = 2-n-r = 6.28318 X r. A = irr"^ = 3.14159 X r^. ^ = i,rZ>2 = 0.7854 X D\ A = — = 0.07958 X (?. 47r A = 0.7854 X 4 r^' 24' C D = - = 0.3183 X C.

The area of an ellipse is equal to that of an annular ring of which the sum and difference of the radii of the limiting circles are respectively equal to the semi-axes of the ellipse. Thus TT (r2 - r'^) =Tr{r + r')X{r- r') ; then if {r + r') equals the semi- transverse axis equals A, and (r — r') equals the semi-conjugate axis equals B, the area of the ellipse equals tt {AB) or tt into the product of the semi-axes or into the product of the axes, divided by four. 30 Mensuration SOLIDS The Prism A prism is a solid whose bases or ends are similar, equal and parallel polygons and whose sides are parallelograms. The prism is right or oblique according as the sides are perpendicular to or inclined to the ends; regular or irregular, as the ends are regular or irregular polygons. The surface of any prism is the sum of the areas of the sides added to that of the ends. To find the surface of a right prism, multiply the perimeter of its base by its altitude; to this product add the areas of the ends. The volume of any prism is equal to the area of its base multiplied by its altitude, or perpendicular distance between the ends. The volume of any frustum of a prism is equal to the product of the sum of all the edges (divided by their number), and the area of the cross section perpendicular to those edges. The Pyramid A p5n'amid is a solid having any polygon for its base; and for its sides triangles, terminating at one point called the apex The axis of a pyramid is a straight line from the apex to the center of gravity of its base. A pyramid is right or oblique according as the axis is perpendicular or inclined to the base; regular or irregular, as the base is a regular or irregular figure. The slant height is the distance from the vertex of any of the tri- angular sides to the middle point of its base. The surface of any pyramid is equal to the sum of the areas of all the triangles of which it is composed plus the area of the base. The surface of a right regular pyramid is equal to the perimeter of its base multiplied by half the slant height plus the area of the base. The volimie of any pyramid is equal to the area of the base multiplied by one-third of the altitude; or the perpendicular distance from the apex to the base. It is also equal to one-third the volume of a cylinder having the same base and altitude; or to one-half the volume of a hemisphere having the same base and altitude. The volumes of a pyramid, hemisphere and cylinder, having the same base and altitude are to each other as i, 2 and 3. Frustrum of a Pyramid The frustrum of a pyramid is the section between two planes which may or may not be parallel. folyhedra 31 The slant height of any side of a frustrum of a p)nramid is measured from the middle points of the top and bottom sides of the trapezium • forming that side. To find the surface of any frustrum of apyramid, take the sum of the areas of all the trapeziums forming the sides, to which add the sum of the top and base. The surface of a frustrum of a right regular pyramid, where the top and base are parallel planes, is equal to one-half the sum of the perimeters of top and base multiphed by the slant height plus the sum of the areas of the top and base. The volume of any frustrvmi of any pyramid, with top and base parallel, is equal to one-third the perpendicular distance between top and base multiplied by the sums of the areas of top and base, and the square root of the product of those areas. Thus H, being the perpendicular and A and A' the areas of top and base, respectively, then the volume equals \ H X {A -{- A' -{- Va X A') or A" being equal to the area of a section midway between and parallel to base and top, the volume = V = I H {A +A' + 4A"). A prismoid is a solid having six sides, two of which are parallel but unequal quadrangles, and the other sides trapeziums. To find the Volume of a Prismoid Let A = area of one of the parallel sides. a = area of the other parallel side. M = area of cross section midway between and parallel to the parallel sides. L = perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides. Then . Volmne = LX (^A+^+AK"^ . The Wedge The wedge is a frustrum of a triangular prism. Its volimie is equal to the area of a right section multiplied by one-third the sum of the lengths of the three parallel edges. Let A equal area of section perpendicular to the axis of the prism and BC, DE and FG, the lengths of the parallel edges respectively. Then Volume of wedge = A (BC + DE+FG) ^ 3 Polyhedra A polyhedron is a solid bounded by plane surfaces. A regular polyhedron is one whose bounding faces are all equal and regular polygons. 32 Mensuration There are five regular polyhedra as follows: Name Bounded by Surface = sum of sur- faces of all the faces = square of the length of one edge by Volume = product of cube of length of one edge by 4 Equilateral triangles. . . 6 squares 8 Equilateral triangles.. . • 12 Equilateral pentagons. 20 Equilateral triangles. .

It may be right or oblique. The base of a right cylinder is a circle, that of an oblique cylinder an ellipse. The surface of any cylinder is equal to the product of the circumference of a circle whose plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, by the length of the axis, plus the area of the ends. The volume of a cylinder is equal to the area of a circle perpendicular to the axis multiplied by its altitude. The Cone A cone is a pyramid having an infinite number of sides. Cones are right or oblique according as their axes are perpendicular or inchned to their bases. The surface of a right cone is equal to the product of the perimeter of the base by half the slant height, plus the area of the base. The surface of an oblique cone, cut from a right cone having a circular base, is equal to the area of the base, multiplied by the altitude and divided by the perpendicular distance from the axis at the point where it pierces the base, to the surface of the cone, plus the area of the base; AH or the curved surface of the cone equals -zz-- Wherein A is the area K of the base, H the altitude and R the perpendicular. The volume of any cone is equal to the area of the base multiplied by one-third of the altitude. The volume of a cone is equal to one-third that of a cylinder, or one- half that of an hemisphere having same base and altitude. The Sphere 33 The surface of a right circular frustrum of a cone with top and base parallel is found by adding together the circumferences of top and base, multiplying this sum by one-half the slant height; to this product add the area of top and base to get the total surface. The volume of a frustrum of any cone, with top and base parallel, is equal to one-third of the altitude multiplied by the sum of the areas of top and base plus the square root of the product of those areas, or equals i the altitude X (area of top + area of base + V^area of top X area of base). The Sphere A sphere is a solid generated by revolving a semicircle about its diameter. The intersection of a sphere with any plane is a circle. A circle cut by the intersection of the surface of a sphere and a plane passing through its center is a great circle. The volume of a sphere is greater than that of any other solid having an equal surface. The surface of a sphere equals that of four great circles. Surface = /^.Trr"^. = ttDK " = curved surface of a circumscribing cyhnder. " = area of a circle having twice the diameter of the sphere. The surface of a sphere is equal to that of a circumscribing cube multiplied by 0.5236. Surfaces of spheres are to each other as the squares of their diameters.

Volumes of spheres are to each other as the cubes of their diameters. Radius of a sphere = 0.62035 "V^ volume. Circumference of sphere = v^59.2i76 volume. = V3.1416 X area of surface. _ Area of surface Diameter 34 Mensuration The area of the curved surface of a spherical segment is equal to the product of the circumference of a great circle by the height of the seg- ment = ttDH, where D is the diameter of the sphere and H the height of the spherical segment. The curved surface of a segment of a sphere is to the whole surface of the sphere as the height of the segment is to the diameter of the sphere. To Find the Volume of a Spherical Segment Let R = radius of base of segment. H = height. Then volume of segment = ^TrH{2,B? + H^). To find the curved surface of a spherical zone, multiply the circum- ference of the sphere by the height of the zone. To find the volume of a spherical zone, let A and^' be the radii of the ends of the zone and H be the height and V the volume. Then V -- Guldin's Theorems (i) If any plane curve be revolved about any external axis situated in its plane, the surface generated is equal to the product of the perimeter of the curve and the length of the path described by the center of gravity of that perimeter. (2) If any plane surface be revolved about any external axis situated in its plane, the volume generated is equal to the area of the revolving surface multiplied by the path described by its center of gravity. CHAPTER II WEIGHTS AND MEASURES In the United States and Great Britain measures of length and weight are, for the same denomination, essentially equal; but liquid and dry measures for same denomination differ widely. The standard measure of length for both countries is that of the simple seconds pendulum, at the sea level, in the latitude of Greenwich; in vacuum and at a tem- perature of 62° F. The length of such a pendulum is 39.1393 inches; 36 of these inches constitute the standard British Imperial yard. This is also the stand- ard in the United States. The Troy pound at the U, S, Mint of Philadelphia is the legal standard of weight in the United States. It contains 5760 grains and is exactly the same as the Imperial Troy pound of Great Britain. The avoirdupois pound (commercial) of the United States contains 7000 grains, and agrees with the British avoirdupois pound within o.ooi of a grain. The metric system was legalized by the United States in 1866 but its use is not obligatory. The metre is the unit of the metric system of lengths and was supposed to be one ten millionth, , of that portion of a meridian between 10,000,000 either pole and the equator. The metric measures of surface and volume are the squares and cubes of the metre, and of its decimal fractions and multiples. The metric unit of weight is the gramme or grain, which is the weight of a cubic centimeter of pure water at a temperature of 40° F. The legal equivalent of the metre as established by Act of Congress is 39-37 inches = 3.28083 ft. = 1.093611 yards. The legal equivalent of the gramme is 15.432 grains. The systems of weights used for commercial purposes in the United States are as follows: 35 36 Weights and Measures Troy Weight For Gold, Silver, Platinum and Jewels, except Diamonds and Pearls 24 grains = i pennyweight (dwt.).' 20 pennyweights = i ounce = 480 grains. 12 ounces = i pound = 5760 grains.

I stone =14 pounds. I quintal =100 pounds. The weight of the grain is the same for all systems of weights. A troy ounce = i .097 avoirdupois ounces. An avoirdupois ounce = .91146 troy or apoth. ounce. A troy pound = .82286 avoirdupois pound. An avoirdupois pound = i . 21528 troy or apoth. pounds. The standard avoirdupois pound is equal to the weight of 27.7015 cu. in. distilled water at 39.2° F., at sea level and at the latitude of Green- wich.

To ascertain the number of feet board measure in a plank or piece of square timber, multiply the length by the breadth in feet and by the thickness in inches. To find the cubic contents of a stick of timber (all the measurements being reduced to feet), take one-fourth the product of the mean girth by the diameter and the length. To find the cubic contents of square timber, reduce all measurements to feet, then the product of the length by the breadth and thickness will be the volume in cubic feet.

square or cube of any whole number ending with ciphers. First, omit all the final ciphers. Take from the table the square or cube (as the case may be) of the rest of the number. To this square add twice as many ciphers as there were final ciphers in the original number. To the cube add three times as many as in the original number. Thus, for 90,5002, 9052 = 819,025. Add twice 2 ciphers, obtaining 8,190,250,000. For 90,500^, 9053 = 741,217,625. Add 3 times 2 ci- phers, obtaining 741,217,625,000,000.

Thus, if the square root of 25281 is required, first find that number in the column of squares; and opposite to it, in the column of numbers, is its square root 159. For the cube root of 857375, find that number in the column of cubes; and opposite to it, in the colimin of numbers, is its cube root 95. When the exact number is not contained in the column of squares, or cubes, as the case may be, we may use instead the number nearest to it, if no great accuracy is required. But when a considerable degree of accuracy is necessary, the following very correct methods may be used. For the square root This rule appHes both to whole numbers and to those which are partly (not wholly) decimal. First, in the foregoing manner, take out the tabular number, which is nearest to the given one; and also its tabular square root. Multiply this tabular number by 3; to the product add the given number. Call the sum A . Then multiply the given number by 3; to the product add the tabular number. Call the sum 5. Then A \ B :'. Tabular root : Required root. Example. — Let the given number be 946.53. Here we find the nearest tabular number to be 947; and its tabular square root 30.7734. Hence, 947 = tabular number 3 ■ and ■ 59 " 946.53 = given number 3 2841 946.53 = given number 2839-59 947 = tabular number 3787.53 - A. A B en 3787.53 : 3786 ,3786.59 = B. Tab. root Req'd root 30.7734 : 30.7657+. The root as found by actual mathematical process is also 30.7657+. For the cube root This rule applies both to whole mmabers and to those which are parity decimal. First take out the tabular number which is nearest to the given one; and also its tabular cube root. Multiply this tabular nimiber by 2; and to the product add the given number. Call the sum A. Then Cube Root 63 multiply the given number by 2; and to the product add the tabular number. Call the sum B. Then A : B :: Tabular root : Required root. Example. — Let the given number be 7368. Here we find the nearest tabular number (in the column of cubes) to be 6859; and its tabular cube root 19.

Take out the area or circumference from table as though the number had one decimal, and move the decimal point two places to the right for the area, and one place for the circumference. Example. — Wanted the area and circumference of 567. The tabular area for 56.7 is 2524.9687, and circumference 178.1283. Therefore area for 567 = 252496.87 and circumference = 1781.283. To compute the area or circumference of a circle of a diameter greater than 1000, Divide by a factor, as 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., if practicable, that will leave a quotient to be found in table, then multiply the tabular area of the quotient by the square of the factor, or the tabular circumference by the factor. Example. — Wanted the area and circumference of 2109, Dividing by 3, the quotient is 703, for which the area is 388150.84 and the circum- ference 2208.54. Therefore area of 2109 = 388150.84 X 9 = 3493357-56 and circumference = 2208.54 X 3 = 6625.62. So Mathematical Tables Table of Circular Arcs Length of circular arcs when the chord and the height of the arc are given. Divide the height by the chord. Find in the column of Heights the number equal to this quotient. Take out the corresponding number from the column of lengths. Multiply this last number by the length of the given chord.

Thus, for the cubic yards in each foot of depth of a well 31 feet in diameter, first take out from the table those opposite the diameter of 153'^ feet; namely, 6.989. Then 6.989 X 4 = 27.956 cubic yards required for the 31 feet diameter. But for the stone lining or walling, bricks or plastering, multiply the tabular quantity opposite half the greater diameter by 2. Thus, the perches of stone walling for each foot of depth of a well of 31 feet diameter will be 2.073 X 2 = 4.146. If the wall is more or less than one foot thick, within usual moderate limits, it will generally be near enough for practice to assume that the number of perches, or of bricks, will increase or decrease in the same proportion. The size of the bricks is taken at 8K X 4 X 2 inches; and to be laid dry, or without mortar. In practice an addition of about 5 per cent should be made for waste. The brick Hning is supposed to be i brick thick, or 8^ ins.

Sine The sine of any angle acb or the sine of any circular arc ab is the perpendicular distance, as, from one end of the arc a to the radius passing through the other end b of the arc. It is equal to one-half the chord of the arc abn, which is twice the arc ab; or the chord of the arc abn is equal to twice the sine of half the arc, or twice the sine oi ab. The sine of the angle tcb, if tcb equals 90", is equal to the radius of the circle. t u/ w c / eV Vers.' c n s Fig. 36. Cosine The cosine of an arc ab is the distance cs from the center of the circle c to the intersection of the sine as with the radius cb, and is equal to ya or the sine of the arc ta. But the angle tea is equal to the difference between 90° and the angle acb; or the difference between the arcs tab and ab; and is the comple- ment of acb. Hence the cosine of an angle or arc is equal to the sine of its complement, and vice versa. Versed Sine The versed sine of an arc is the distance sb from the foot 5 of the sine to the arc at b, measured on the radius cb. Natural Sines, Tangents, etc. The versed sine of an arc ab is equal to the rise of twice the arc; or equal to the rise of abn. Tangent The tangent bw of an arc ab is the perpendicular .distance from the radius at one extremity of the arc b to the intersection w of the perpen- dicular bw with the prolongation of a radius drawn through the other extremity of the arc at a. 107 lo8 Mathematical Tables The Secant The secant of an arc is the distance cw from the center of the arc to the intersection of the tangent at w of the prolonged radius ca. If the angle tch equals 90 degrees and tea be the complement of achy the sine ya of this complement, its versed sine ty, tangent to and secant CO become respectively the cosine, coversed sine, cotangent and co- secant of the angle ach, and vice versa. When the radius ah is equal to unity the corresponding sines, cosines, tangents, etc., are called natural sines, cosines, etc.; and the table con- taining their lengths for different angles is the table of natural sines, etc. The lengths of the sines, etc., for the arcs of any other circle, whose radius may be greater or less than i, are found by multiplying the tabu- lar values by such radius. The following table contains only natural sines, tangents and secants; the other lengths may be found for any angle not exceeding 90 degrees as follows: Cosine = sine of the complement of the given angle. Versed sine = i — cosine. Coversed sine = i — sine. Cotangent = tangent of the complement. Cosecant = i divided by natural sine. Sine = = — 7 = V (i — cos^). cosec cot Tangent sm _ _i_ cos cot tan Secant = -^ = i?£ = Vb? + tangent^, cos sm Cosine = V(i — sin^) = — = sine X cotangent = tan sec Cotangent _ cos _ I sin tan Versed sine = radius — cosine. Coversed sine = radius — sine. Radius = tangent X cotangent = v sine^ + cosine^. The formulae for the solution of the right-angled and the oblique- angled triangle are given; for further information the reader is referred to works on Trigonometry, Solution of Oblique-angled Triangles 109 Solution of the Right-angled Triangle LetA,B and C be the angles of the triangle and a, h and c the sides opposite those angles respectively.

It is sufi&ciently malleable to be beaten into tin foil, only Hooo of an inch thick. Its tensile strength is but about 4600 pounds per square inch; or about 7000 pounds when made into wire. It melts at the moderate temperature of 442° F. Pure block tin is not used for common building purposes; but thin plates of sheet iron covered with it on both sides constitute the tinned plates, or, as they are called, the tin, used for covering roofs, rain pipes and many domestic utensils. For roofs it is laid on boards. The sheets of tin, are united as shown in this Fig. First, several sheets are joined together in the shop, end for end, as at tt, by being first bent over, then hammered flat, and then soldered. These are then formed into a roll to be carried to the roof, a roll being long enough to reach from the peak to the eaves. Dif- FiG. SI. ferent rolls being spread up and down the roof are then united along their sides by simply being bent as at a and s, by a tool for that purpose. The roofers call the bending at 5 a double groove, or double lock; arid the more simple ones at t, a single groove, or lock. To hold the tin securely to the sheeting boards, pieces of the tin 3 or 4 inches long, by 2 inches wide, called cleats, are nailed to the boards at about every 18 inches along the joints of the rolls that are to be united, and are bent over with the double groove s. This will be understood from y, where the middle piece is the cleat, before being bent over. The nails should be 4-penny slating nails, which have broader heads than common ones. As they are not exposed to the weather, they may be of plain iron. 1 70 Materials Much use is made of what is called leaded tin, or ternes, for roofing. It is simply sheet iron coated with lead, instead of the more costly metal tin. It is not as durable as the tinned sheets, but is somewhat cheaper. The best plates, both for tinning and for ternes, are made of charcoal iron, which, being tough, bears bending better. Coke is used for cheaper plates, but inferior as regards bending. In giving orders, it is important to specify whether charcoal plates or coke ones are required; also whether tinned plates, or ternes. Tinned and leaded sheets of Bessemer and other cheap steel are now much used. They are sold at about the price of charcoal tin and terne plates. There are also in use for roofing, certain compound metals which resist tarnish better than either lead, tin, or zinc but which are so fusible as to be liable to be melted by large burning cinders falling on the roof from a neighboring conflagration. A roof covered with tin or other metal should, if possible. Slope not much less than five degrees, or about an inch to a foot; and at the eaves there should be a sudden fall into the rain-gutter, to prevent rain from backing up so as to overtop the double-groove joint s, and thus cause leaks. When coal is used for fuel, tin roofs should receive two coats of paint when first put up, and a coat at every 2 or 3 years after. Where wood only is used, this is not necessary; and a tin roof, with a good pitch, will last 20 or 30 years. Two good workmen can put on, and paint outside, from 250 to 300 square feet of tin roof, per day of 8 hours. Tinned iron plates are sold by the box. These boxes, unUke glass, have not equal areas of contents. They may be designated or ordered either by their names or sizes. Many makers, however, have their private brands in addition; and some of these have a much higher reputation than others.

Modulus of Elasticity i8i Modulus of Elasticity The modulus of elasticity of any body is the ratio, within the elastic limit, of the stress per unit of area to the stretch per unit of length. Let S = stress per square inch, and L = elongation per unit of length. S' = total stress. L' = total elongation. O = original length. A — area of cross section in square inches. E = modulus of elasticity. Then E = j, which is found to be practically constant, and is a measure of the resistance which a body can oppose to change of shape. S' -J = S = stress per square inch, (i) A. u jr = L = elongation per unit of length Hence the modulus of elasticity is equal to the total stress, multiplied by the original length, divided by the area in square inches, multiplied by the total elongation. From equation (2), S' = EL'A : (3) and since !- and V = = L, then S = EL; (4) or the stress \ per unit of area is equal to the modulus multipUed by the elongation per unit of length. From (3), V S'O EA SO E (5) and L 5. (6) or the elongation per unit of length equals the stress per unit of area divided by the modulus. l82 Materials Table of Moduli of Elasticity and of Elastic Limits for Different Materials The values here given are approximate averages compiled from many sottrces.

The values of the modulus of rupture, which is usually denoted by "C," may be obtained from the following table of transverse strengths, by multiplying the values therein by i8. One-third part of any of these constants (except those for wrought iron and steel) may be taken in ordinary practice as about the average constant for the greatest center load within the elastic limit.

Moment of Inertia 187 Moment of Inertia The moment of inertia of the weight of a body, with respect to any axis, is the algebraic sum of the products obtained by multiplying the weight of each elementary particle by the square of its distance from the axis. If the moment of inertia with respect to any axis be denoted by /; the weight of any elementary particle by w; and its distance from the axis by r; the sum of all the particles by 2, then I = 'E(wr^). The moment of inertia of a rod or bar of uniform thickness, with respect to an axis perpendicular to the length of the rod, is =«'G+^ in which W equals the weight of rod, 2 I equals length and d equals the distance of the center of gravity of the section from the axis. For thin circular plates with the axis in its own plane, when r equals the radius of the plate. For circular plate, axis perpendicular to the plate. Circular ring, axis perpendicular to its own plane, r and / being the exterior and interior radii of the ring. Cylinder, axis perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, r = radius of base and 2I — length of the cylinder. By making d equal to o in any of the above formulae, the moment of inertia for a parallel axis passing through the center of gravity is found. The term moment of inertia is also used in respect to areas, as the cross section of beams under strain. In this case, I = S(ar)2, in which a is the elementary area and r its distance from the center. 1 i88 Materials -5 I ^ 1 ] ~l tj >. >. 1 1 §153 £153 ^1 >~s tO| 00 ^153 =-15 1 1 w| ro M| 00 -l<§ -1^ + ftnl a ^\% =-1^ =^1^ Q as OhI^ fel^ c .2 -1^ 1 M 1 M 4^ ^1^ ^1^ Sl^ 51^ ^1^ ^1^ s O ^l^o ^|0 51^ u2 3 o s £ ■ 6 1 1 c3 ^ 6 i a ° •^ H^ "S^ 'ro s; Ml 00 Ml 00 + 0, 5^ M| 00 "1 1 1 ro > Ml 00 Ml Tt 1 roi 00 s % °^ ^ 1 go II s; 1 s;l 1^ Ml 00 s| 00 1 00 1 i rn[ N >* ^\p. + HI'S "1 f?, M i (U ttJ o a^ J3 Q-" l-i Ml Tf 3 1 1 60 .a 1- Ml O a, Mr fO II Oh II + ftn a. ^2 ^ Qi •-* 1- II pq ft.

W = total load distributed uniformly. I = length, b = breadth, d = depth in inches. E = modulus of elasticity. R = stress per square inch of extreme fibre. / = moment of inertia. C = distance between neutral axis and extreme fibre. For breaking load of circular section replace bd"^ by 0.59 d^. For good wrought iron the value of R is about 80,000; for steel about 120,000. For cast iron the value of R varies greatly. Thurston found 45,740 for No. 2 and 67,980 for No. i. 190 Materials General Formulae for Transverse Strength, Etc.

That due to gravity is 32.16 feet per second, in one second and is denoted by g. Let t = number of seconds during which a body falls. V = velocity acquired in feet per second at the expiration of t seconds. u = space fallen through in each second. h = total space fallen through in t seconds. Then gt = 32.16, t S.oiVh = 2 2 2 g D4-32 t = '- 32.16 ▼ 8 V The table below gives the values of h, v and u, for values of t up to ten seconds.

In the triangle, Fig. 6i, let the vertical divisions on the left of the perpendicular represent the number of seconds through which the body falls = t. Let the base of each small triangle equal the velocity at the end of the first second = 32.16. Then the number of bases on each of the horizontal lines at I, 2, 3, etc., multiplied by 32.16 will equal the ac- quired velocity for the corresponding time = v. Let the area of each small triangle = 16.08. Then the number of such areas between o and any hori- zontal line multiplied by 16.08 will equal the height in feet fallen through in the number of seconds corresponding to that line = h. And the number of small triangles between each pair of horizontal lines, multiplied by 16.08 will equal the number of feet fallen through in ^k Fig. 61. each second = u. Thus: / = I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. V = 32.16 X I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. h = 16.08 X I, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36. u = 16.08 X I, 3, 5, 7, 9, II. Fig. 62. Parallelogram of Forces If two forces are applied to the same point, their resultant will be represented in intensity and direction by the diagonal of a parallelo- gram of which the adjacent sides represent the intensities and directions of the given forces. Let AB and AC represent, in intensity and direction, any two forces applied to the point A; then AD will correspondingly represent their resultant. Conversely, ii ADhe the known force acting at ^, it may be resolved into two components, in any direction in the same plane; which com- ponents will be the adjacent sides of a parallelogram having AD for its diagonal. Parallelopipedon of Forces If three forces, not in the same plane, act on the same point, they may be represented by the edges of a parallelopipedon and the diagonal through the point of application is their resultant.

There are '^' "'pi three orders of levers. In those of the first order the points of application of the power ^" and resistance are on opposite sides of the fulcrum. In the second order the resistance is ap- pKed between the fulcrum and the power. In the third order the power is apphed between the fulcrum and the resistance. ± In any order ^^^- ^4- the weight W multiplied by the distance WF from the fulcrum must equal the power P multiplied by PF, to establish ^^' ^' equilibrium. Whatever may be the shape of the lever, the power or resistance acts at the end of a hne drawn through the fulcrum and perpendicular to the line of direction of the power or resistance. This perpendicular is called the lever arm of its corresponding force, and the product of the lever arm and its force is called the moment of that force. When the moments are equal the forces are in equilibrium. If one moment exceeds the other, rotation will occur about the ful- crum in the direction of the force having the greater moment. The Wheel and Axle This is simply such an appUcation of the lever of the first order, that the power and resistance may act through greater distances; the radius of the wheel is the lever arm of the power and that of the drum the lever arm of the resistance. When the resistance is a weight, it will be raised if the moment of the power is the greater and vice versa. The Inclined Plane If a force P acts in the direction of C AB, to overcome the resistance R, then p P:R::a:b. "*" b a Fig. o6. Center of Gravity 1 95 The Wedge The wedge is simply a double inclined plane, placed i- back to back. _t±iX^ If the force applied to "a wedge be represented by P t \ and the resistance to be overcome by R, the base of the wedge by a and its length by&;"then b P:R::a:b P = ^ and R = ^ a Fig. 67. Center of Gravity The center of gravity of a body is that point through which the effort of its weight always passes. If a body be suspended from any point, the direction of the hne of suspension will pass through its center of gravity. Therefore, the center of gravity of any body may be determined by finding the intersection of the hnes of suspension passing through points not on the same vertical hne. The center of gravity of two bodies is on a hne joining their respective centers of gravity and the distances from the center of gravity of either body to that of both of them (combined) are inversely proportional to the weights of the bodies respectively. To find the center of gravity of any irregular plane surface, divide it into triangles of any convenient areas. Find the center of gravity and the area of each triangle. Then assimiing any coordinate axes X and Y, multiply the area of each triangle by the abscissa of its center of gravity and divide the product by the sum of the areas of all the triangles. The quotient is the abscissa of the center of gravity of the entire figure. Find its ordinate in the same way; then the point determined by this abscissa and ordinate is the center of gravity of the figure. This method is precisely that shown by Fig. 61, Machinery Supplement No. 5. In addition to the formulae taken from Machinery Supplement No. 5, others are given as follows : Semiellipse The center of gravity of a semiellipse is on the semiaxis perpendiciilar to the base and at a distance from the base equal to the product of that semiaxis and the decimal 0.4244. 196 Mechanics The Center of Gravity of Solids of Uniform Density Throughout Sphere and spheroid at center of the body.

Find the center of gravity of each segment; then, by inverse proportion, find that of their difference. Frustrum of a Cone Let G = distance from base to center of gravity measured on the axis. A = area of large end. a = area of small end. H = height of frustrum measured on the axis. Then a = «fA+^^Aa + sa\ 4 V ^ + VAa -\-a J The center of gravity of a paraboloid is on the axis and at a distance from the vertex equal to two-thirds that from vertex to base. A body suspended from center of gravity has no tendency to rotate.

Le Chatelier finds the melting heat of white cast iron 2075° F., and that of gray cast iron at 2228° F. Mild steel melts at 2687° F., semi- mild at 2651° F. and hard steel at 2570° F. The furnace for hard porcelain at the end of the baking has a heat of 2498° F. The heat of a normal incandescent lamp is 3272° F., but it may be pushed beyond 3812° F.

The French thermal unit, or calorie, is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of pure water one degree Centi- grade at 4° C, which is equivalent to 39.1° F. The French calorie is equal to 3.968 British thermal units; one B.t.u, is equal to .252 calories. Mechanical Equivalent of Heat This is the number of foot pounds equivalent to one B.t.u. Joule's experiments gave the figure 772, which is known as Joule's equivalent. Recent experiments give higher figures and the average is now taken to be 778.

The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the ultimate friction to the pressure perpendicular to the plane of contact, and is equal to the tangent of the angle of repose. Thus, if R denotes the friction between the surfaces, Q the perpendicu- lar pressure and F the coefficient of friction. Then F = ^ and R = FQ. Centrifugal Force In a revolving body the force expended to deflect it from a rectilinear to a curved path is called centrifugal force and is equal to the weight of the body multiplied by the square of its velocity in feet per second, divided by 32.6 times the radius; or, if F equals centrifugal force, W equals weight of body, V equals velocity in feet per second and R equals the radius, then F = ;r-^ . If N equals the number of revolutions 32.16 i? per minute, the formula is reduced to F = .000341 WN^R. Properties of Air Air is a mechanical mixture of the gases, oxygen and nitrogen; 21 parts oxygen and 79 parts nitrogen by volume, or 23 parts oxygen and 77 parts nittogen by weight. The weight of pure air at 32° F. and 29.9 barometer, or 14.6963 pounds per square inch; or 21 16.3 pounds per 2l6 Air square foot is .080728 pounds. The volume of one pound is 12.387 cubic feet. Air expands 1/491.2 of its volume for every increase of 1° F., and its volume varies inversely as the pressure. Volume, Density and Pressure of Air at Various Temperatures (D. K. Clark.)

CHAPTER VI ALLOYS An alloy is a combination by fusion of two or more metals. The com- bination may be a chemical one; generally, however, there is an excess of one or more of the constituents. Metals do not unite indifferently, but have certain affinities; thus zinc and lead do not unite, but either will mix with silver in any pro- portion. Alloys are generally harder, less ductile and have greater tenacity than the mean of their components. The melting point of an alloy is as a rule below that of any of its components, and it is more easily oxidized. The specific gravity of an alloy may be greater, equal to, or less than the mean of its components. In alloys of copper and tin the maximum tensile and compressive strength is afforded by a mixture containing 82.7 per cent copper and 17.3 per cent tin. The minimum strength is shown by a composition of 62.5 per cent copper and 37.5 per cent tin.

Jones and Laughlin give the breaking strength per inch of width, Me thick, of good leather belting as follows: In the solid leather 675 pounds. At the rivet holes of splices 362 pounds. At the lacing holes 210 pounds. Safe working load 45 pounds per inch of width for single belts, equiva- lent to speed for each inch of width of 720 feet per minute per horse power. The efficiency of the double belt compared to that of a single belt is as 10 is to 7. Making D = diameter of pulley in inches. R = number of revolutions per minute. W = width of belt in inches.

In the presence of manganese, chromium, etc., hard carbides (double carbides) are formed, known as cementite. A mixture of ferrite and cementite is called pearlite. Pearhte often consists of alternate layers of ferrite and cementite and in this condition, from its pecuhar iridescence, is termed pearlite. As carbon increases, ferrite is replaced by pearlite. Pearhte is not found in hardened steels. In steels saturated with carbon, a point fixed by Professor Arnold as .89 per cent carbon, the whole structure is represented by pearlite. Steels containing less than .89 per cent carbon are known as unsatu- rated; those having over .89 per cent carbon as supersaturated. These degrees refer distinctly to iron-carbon steels; for the double carbides the point of satiuration is slightly lowered. Cementite is a hard and brittle compound, but when interspersed with ferrite in the form of pearlite, its brittleness is somewhat neutralized by the adjacent ferrite. A steel containing well laminated pearlite possesses high ductility but less tenacity than when found unsegregated. Pig Iron Pig iron contains from 92 to 96 per cent metallic iron; the remainder is mostly composed of sihcon, sulphur, phosphorus and manganese in greatly varying amounts. Cobalt, copper, chromium, aluminimi, nickel, sodium, titanium and tungsten appear in some brands in minute quan- tities. 241 242 Iron Specific gravity of cast iron is variously given at 7.08, 7.15 and 7.40.

Grading Pig Iron The usual practice of furnaces has been to grade by fracture. The grades are designated, Nos. i, 2, 3, 4 or gray forge; mottled and white. No. I. — Soft; open grain; dark in color. Used for thin, light castings. Does not possess much strength; has great softening properties; is mixed advantageously with harder grades; carries large percentage of scrap. No. 2. — Harder, closer, stronger and color somewhat lighter than No. i. No. 3. — Harder, closer, stronger and lighter in color than No. 2; and incHnes to gray. No. 4 {Gray forge). — Hard, strong, fine grained and light gray color. Mottled. — Hard, very strong and close grained. Color presents mot- tled or imperfectly mingled gray and white colors. White. — Hard and brittle, breaks easily imder sledge but has high tensile strength; color white. No. I iron running in the spout of the cupola displays few sparks. In the ladle its smrface is lively and broken, sometimes flowery. Nos. 2 and 3 present similar appearances but less marked. Hard irons running from the cupola throw out innumerable sparks; in the ladle the surface is dull and unbroken; if disturbed the reaction is sluggish. One cannot safely be guided by the appearance of the fracture of the pig; as when melted it may produce a casting of an entirely different character than that indicated. * Marker and Oberhoffer have found that the specific heat of iron increases in about the same ratio up to within the region of the critical point (1382° P.). After this it remains practically constant. Grading Pig Iron 243 This method of grading is entirely unreliable as to chemical constit- uents (and physical characteristics) ; the degree of coarseness of fractiure, which affects the grade more than any other property, may be due entirely to the rate of cooling. Two pigs from the same cast may produce two grades; pigs from different beds of the same cast may vary as much as i per cent in silicon and .05 in sulphur. The character of pig iron is often greatly affected by the accidents of the furnace. Irons produced from the same furnace at different times, from identical mixtures, may differ greatly in their constituents, by reason of different thermal conditions existing in the furnace at the time the ores were melted. Grading by fracture is so unreliable that most foundrymen specify the characteristics required. The following specifications are from Mr. W. G. Scott of the J. I.

AMERICAN FOUNDRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION Standard Specifications for Foundry Pig Iron Adopted by the American Fowndrymen's Association in Convention, Cincinnati, May 20, igog. It is recommended that foundry pig iron be bought by analysis, and that when so bought these standard specifications be used. Percentages and Variations In order that there may be uniformity in quotations, the following percentages and variations shall be used.

One pig of machine-cast, or one-half pig of sand-cast iron shall be taken to every four tons in the car, and shall be so chosen from different parts of the car, as to represent as nearly as possible the average quality of the iron. An equal weight of the drilHngs from each pig shall be thoroughly mixed to make up the sample for analysis. In case of dispute, the sample and analysis shall be made by an inde- pendent chemist, mutually agreed upon, if practicable, at the time the contract is made.

The price to be determined by the Base Table herewith, which must be filled in at the time the contract is made. Machine- Cast Pig Iron Pig iron is usually cast in sand beds. The casting machine has of late years been adopted by some furnaces and the statement is made that machine-cast pig, aside from the freedom from sand, possesses other important advantages. That it is more uniform in character; affords Machine-Cast Pig Iron 249 greater certainty as to its chemical composition; is cleaner and melts more readily. Machine-cast pig presents a closer grain and is harder than iron cast in sand, by reason of the greater percentage of combined carbon. Upon remelting, this difference disappears and the castings show the same analysis. Mr. A. L. Colby, chemist of the Bethlehem Iron Co., gives the follow- ing statement regarding an experiment, made to determine the influence of the mould upon pig iron. "One half of a cast was poured into sand moulds and the other half into iron. Equal quantities of drillings from six pigs, selected from different parts of that portion of the cast which had been cast in sand were taken; and similar drillings were obtained from that portion of the cast which had been taken to the casting machine; and each was care- fully analyzed, with the following results: Cast No. 7602 Silicon Manganese Phosphorus Sulphur Total carbon ' Combined carbon Graphitic carbon Tensile strength per square inch "The high tensile strength of the machine-cast iron is due almost entirely to the higher percentage of its combined carbon. Some of the sand-cast portion of this cast, and some of the machine-cast portion were melted separately in the same cupola, keeping all smelting conditions as nearly uniform as possible; and castings from each melt were made, which were proved by analysis, tensile strength, ability to machine and appearance of fracture to be as nearly alike as different things, made from the same iron, ever are." Regarding this experiment, Mr. W. J. Keep in a communication to "The Foundry," remarks: "The experiment shows that a pig iron cast in iron moulds with a very close grain and high combined carbon and the same iron cast in a sand pig mould with open grain and low combined carbon, will each, when remelted in a cupola, make castings exactly alike." 2 so Iron The following report on the test ingots, cast with the experimental castings, supports this statement.

On the other hand, an iron may have a close grain, by reason of the graphitic carbon occurring in a finely divided condition and be graded low; when, since it is soft, it should have a much higher grading. Charcoal Iron Charcoal iron is graded according to fracture. The grades are desig- nated by numbers and also as soft foundry; low carbon, 2.5 per cent total carbon; medium carbon, 3.5 per cent total carbon; and high car- bon, 4.5 per cent carbon. Purchases are usually made on specifications. Comparatively little charcoal iron is now used, since its valuable properties as regards chill and strength may be imparted to coke irons by use of the ferrometalloids and scrap steel. Grading Scrap Iron Machinery scrap should be free from burnt iron, wrought iron, steel, plow points, brake shoes, sash weights, sleigh shoes, chilled iron, stove plate and fine scrap; should be broken into pieces weighing not over 400 pounds. Approximately, scrap iron varying in thickness from H inch to i inch, may be compared with pig iron carrying from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent silicon and .08 per cent sulphur. Grading Scrap Iron 251 From I inch to 3 inches thick, as compared with pig iron carrying from I per cent to 1.75 per cent siHcon and .08 per cent sulphur. Above 3 inches thick, with an open gray fracture, as ranging in sihcon from .75 to 2 per cent. In white scrap, sihcon is usually very low and sulphur very high. Burnt iron is worthless except for sash weights and similar castings. The successful grading of scrap iron can only be accomplished by experience. CHAPTER IX INFLUENCE OF THE CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF CAST IRON Carbon Combined carbon increases strength, shrinkage, chill and hardness, and closes the gram. Graphitic carbon reduces strength, shrinkage, chill, hardness, and tends to produce an open grain. Silicon softens iron by promoting the formation of graphitic carbon. It decreases shrinkage and strength; increases fluidity and opens the grain. Sulphur hardens iron, increases shrinkage and chill; causes it to set quickly in the ladle ("lose its hfe"); produces blow holes, shrinkage cracks and dirty iron. Phosphorus weakens iron, imparts fluidity, decreases shrinkage and lowers the melting point. Manganese in large percentages hardens cast iron. It increases shrinkage and chill, reduces deflection and tends to convert graphitic into combined carbon. In small amoimts by reason of its power to remove sulphur and occluded gases, its tendency is to produce sound, dense castings, without increased hardness or shrinkage. To raise the strength of castings, increase manganese and reduce silicon ^nd phosphorus. To soften iron, increase silicon and phosphorus. To reduce shrinkage, increase sihcon and phosphorus and reduce sulphur. To prevent blow holes, reduce sulphur and increase manganese. To prevent kish (excessive amount of free carbon), increase scrap or increase manganese. [W. G. Scott.] Properties of the Usual Constituents of Cast Iron Carbon Specific gravity (diamond) 3 . 55 (graphite). 2.35 Atomic weight 12 . 252 Properties of the Usual Constituents of Cast Iron 253 Specific heat at 212° F 0.198 " " 1800° F 0.459 " " 3000° F 0.52s Carbon exists in cast iron as combined and graphitic. Professor Turner recognizes two different varieties under each of the general subdivisions, as follows: (Coarse-grained carbon or graphite. Fine-grained carbon, called amorphous carbon, or temper graphite. P , . /• Combined carbon. , J "Missing" carbon, which usually occurs in rela- [ tively small quantities in cast iron. The amount of carbon which may be absorbed by pure iron at high temperatiues is stated differently by different authorities. Turner places the limit of satiuation at 4.25 per cent, and cites Saniter's experiments as follows: "At cementation, heat about 1650° F., 2 per cent; by fusion, about 2550° F., 4.00 per cent." Field states that pure iron at maximum temperatures absorbs 6h per cent carbon. Keep gives the saturation of charcoal iron when cold as 4 per cent and that of anthracite or coke irons as 3.50 per cent to 3.75 per cent. The saturation point varies according to the temperature. As iron cools below the temperature of saturation, carbon separates out in the form of graphitic carbon. At just what temperature this separation ceases is not definitely known; it is variously stated at 1300° F., 1650° F., and as high as 1800° F. Since the specific heat of carbon is much greater than that of iron, it delays the rate of cooling as the temperature falls. In a mixture containing 96 per cent of iron and 4 per cent of carbon, the heat evolved by the carbon, during the process of cooling, retards the rate of cooling one-seventh. According to Field, an iron containing 6\i per cent carbon will dis- solve no silicon; and one containing 23 per cent of silicon dissolves no carbon. Iron having 3 per cent silicon contains approximately 0.3 per cent combined carbon. With 2 per cent silicon the combined carbon is 0.6 per cent and with I per cent silicon 0.9 per cent. As the carbon separates out in cooling, it changes from combined to graphitic, producing a softer, weaker iron and one having less shrinkage. 254 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron The total carbon in cast iron varies from 2 per cent to 4\i per cent, averaging about 3.4 per cent. With silicon as high as 8 to 10 per cent, the total carbon falls to 2 per cent. Under the same conditions, the higher the total carbon, the softer the iron. A very soft iron may contain as little as 1 per cent combined carbon with 3.4 to 3.5 per cent graphitic. An increase of .25 per cent total carbon produces a marked increase in the softness, and a corresponding decrease in strength and shrinkage. Combined carbon increases as the grades grow harder. Ordinary soft iron contains from .3 to .5 per cent combined carbon. Strong irons carry from .45 to .9 per cent. The harder grades run from .6 to i per cent. The proportion of combined to graphitic carbon is determined: First. — By the total carbon present, as the greater the total carbon, the greater will be the proportion of graphitic to combined carbon. Second. — By the rate of coohng. Rapid cooling increases the com- bined and slow cooling increases graphitic carbon. Third. — By the temperature of the iron when it begins to cool. The higher the temperature at which the iron is poured, the longer will be the time elapsed in cooling and the longer the period for conversion of combined to graphitic carbon. Fourth. — By the amoimt and kind of other elements present. Silicon decreases combined and increases graphitic carbon. With increased silicon all the combined carbon may be changed to graphitic. An increase of i per cent silicon in cast iron, other conditions remain- ing the same, will convert from .35 to .47 per cent of combined into graphitic carbon; and imder the same circumstances an increase of .47 per cent combined carbon will cause a corresponding decrease in silicon. Sulphur increases combined carbon as also does manganese. Phosphorus prolongs the cooling and thereby affords more time for the separation of graphitic carbon. Loss or Gain of Carbon in Remelting An iron may gain or lose carbon in passing through the cupola. There is a tendency to loss of carbon in remelting where the carbon and silicon are high, with heavy blast and low percentage of fuel. On the other hand, where the carbon and silicon are low, with low blast and high percentage of fuel, the tendency is to gain in carbon. Hard irons melt more readily than soft; the higher the combined carbon, the lower the melting point. Loss or Gain of Carbon in Remelting 255 Hard irons hold their shape in melting. The melted iron runs from bottom and sides of the pig freely, leaving smooth surfaces; while gray irons become soft and drop away in lumps presenting ragged surfaces. Hard irons must be melted hotter than gray for pouring as they set much more rapidly. In running from the spout of the cupola and in the ladle, hard irons throw off great quantities of sparks, and the surface of the iron in the ladle is dull and inactive when broken; on the other hand, the soft irons seldom emit sparks and present a lively surface in the ladle, breaking with innumerable checks, the soft Scotch irons showing peculiar flowery surfaces.

Pure iron dissolves about 23 per cent of silicon. By means of the electric furnace iron is made to absorb as much as 80 per cent. Those irons containing over 20 per cent are called ferrosilicons; where the silicon content runs from 5 to 10 per cent they are called high silicon irons. Iron always loses silicon in passing through the cupola-, and the amount lost depends upon three conditions. First. — The amount of oxygen coming in contact with the metal in melting; oxidation increases with the blast. Second. — Upon the composition of the iron as it is charged into the cupola, the loss being greater in irons having a high percentage of silicon than in those where the silicon content is low. An iron with 4 per cent silicon may lose as much as 2 per cent in melting, while with one very low in silicon, the loss may be inappreciable. The affinity of iron for sihcon decreases as the latter increases, hence the amoimt oxidized increases with increased silicon. Third. — The loss of silicon varies also with the percentage of carbon present, being greater in high than in low carbon irons. Silicon lowers the solvent power of cast iron for carbon, thereby reducing the amoimt of combined carbon and increasing the graphitic. This influence is the more powerful with the lower percentages of silicon; the decrease in combined carbon being particularly rapid as Silicon 257 the silicon rises from o to .75 per cent; then as the silicon continues to rise, the decrease in combined carbon grows less and less. Silicon and carbon each reduce the solubility of iron for the other. The influence of silicon is sometimes rendered less apparent by that of other variable elements. Silicon is not of itself a softener of cast iron, nor does it, per se, lessen shrinkage; but it produces a softening effect and reduces shrinkage by changing combined into graphitic carbon; the amount used should be just suflicient to force from solution the amount of carbon desired in the free state for any particular mixture and to furnish the requisite fluidity. For every rise of i per cent silicon in cast iron there will be a corre- sponding drop of .45 per cent in combined carbon and vice versa. Where iron is melted, very hot silicon unites to some extent with sulphur, forming a very volatile sub-sulphide of silicon, thereby re- ducing the amount of sulphur absorbed by the iron. By reason of its specific heat, silicon retards the cooling of iron to a certain extent. It can be made to overcome many difficulties in castings, and to control the quality and cost of mixtures, where scrap iron is largely used. An increase of .2 per cent in silicon decreases shrinkage about .01 inch per foot. Very high percentages of silicon decrease the fusibility of iron. When the percentage of silicon in the casting is above 2 per cent, it has a weakening influence. Ferrosilicon is mixed with iron in the ladle for softening and reducing shrinkage. Carbide of siHcon is sometimes charged with the iron in the cupola. Regarding the use of silicon. Prof. Turner says: "That at one time its presence in cast iron, in all proportions, was regarded as injurious; that there was no accurate knowledge of its influence prior to 1885, when my first paper on 'The Influence of SiHcon on the Properties of Cast Iron' was published in the 'Journal of the Chemical Society.'" Summary of Prof. Turner's experiments in the use of silicon.

The hardness decreased continuously with the additions of silicon until 2,5 per cent was reached, when further additions caused an increase of hardness. The addition of silicon to iron free from carbon increases the tensile strength and hardness. The influence resembles that of combined car- bon on iron or steel, but is less energetic.

Silicon added to hard iron affects the size of the graphite, since the freshly precipitated graphite resulting from such addition is smaller than that found in ordinary soft foundry irons. Consequently, the metal is closer and stronger. Prof. Turner favors increasing sihcon in a mixture of cast iron by the use of high silicon pig iron, rather than by that of ferrosilicon, as the latter differs both in fusibility and density from the iron, rendering the product of the mixture uncertain and irregular. "The ideal method is for the founder to have a fairly large stock, including several kinds of iron, each separate kind being a little too hard or a little too soft for the general run of work, but still not very different from what is required. By mixing these irons in suitable proportions, it is then easy to obtain any composition which may be desired, it being asstmied, of course, that the composition of each variety is already known." During the period from 1886 to 1888, Mr. Keep made an exhaustive study of the influence of silicon on cast iron. The results of his researches as summarized in "Cast Iron" are: SiUcon added to white iron changes it to gray; added to gray iron, low in sihcon, makes the mixture darker. It is the influence of silicon, not the percentage, which produces desir- able qualities; and that influence is indirect, acting through the carbon which the iron contains. '260 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron The saturation point of iron for carbon is lowered by the addition of silicon, as the carbon is expelled in the graphitic form and caught between the grains of the iron producing a grayer color. If the total carbon is high, or the combined carbon low, the amount of silicon required to produce a particular effect will be correspondingly low. Similar effects are produced by a small amount of sihcon acting through a prolonged period, by reason of slow cooHng of large castings, and by a large amount acting through a short period, as in the rapid cooling of small castings. By regulating the amount of silicon in the mixture the state of carbon as well as the depth of chill can be controlled. The diffusion of silicon is very irregular. Mr. Keep found in a number of experiments that the average variation in diffusion was from .09 to .24 per cent. This average increases and the diffusion is less and less complete as the silicon increases, so that any literal determinatives of silicon are rendered more or less approximative (as showing the per- centage of silicon in a car load of iron) by the unequal diffusion. As regards hardness, the addition of 2 to 3H per cent of silicon will convert all the combined into graphitic carbon, which it is possible to change by the use of that element. Silicon in itself hardens cast iron, but the softening effect caused by it in producing the change from combined to graphitic carbon, is such as to result in decreased hardness, until the amount of silicon added has reached from 2 to 3 per cent. Further additions are not advantageous. The beneficial influence resulting from the use of silicon in cast iron is not confined to decreased hardness. It imparts fluidity and also tends to produce clear, smooth surfaces on the castings, by reason of the liberated graphite, in part, interposing itself between the sand and the hot iron.

Weight per cubic foot 125 pounds The sulphur in pig iron is taken up in the furnace, from the fuel and flux. Its presence is most injurious and causes the foundryman more difiSculty than any other element. It makes iron hard and brittle, increases shrinkage and chill, causes iron to congeal quickly and by preventing the ready escape of gases, makes blow holes and pin holes. It increases the combined carbon and reduces silicon. Sulphur 261 WTien pig iron is remelted, the percentage of sulphur is always in- creased, as it takes up from 20 to 40 per cent of the sulphur in the fuel. Mr. J. B. Neu found in some experiments that as much as 66 per cent of the sulphur in the fuel was absorbed by the iron in melting. The sulphur content of the iron at each of three remeltings is given by Mr. Percy Longmuir as follows: First melt Second melt Third melt Per cent sulphur .04 .10 .20 The proportion between the total amount of sulphur present in the fuel, to that absorbed by the iron, is dependent on three conditions. First. — The quality and quantity of flux used. Second. — The temperature of the melted iron. Third. — The composition of the fuel and iron. In a hot working cupola, the proper quantity of flux will remove much of the sulphur. That present in the fuel as a sulphuretted hydrocarbon has no appreciable effect upon the percentage retained in the melted iron. As sulphur combines with iron at low temperatures, a hot cupola tends to increase the amount carried away by the slag. Where the fuel contains I per cent or over of sulphur, it may add from .04 per cent to .06 per cent to the iron and a casting made from iron having only 2 per cent of sulphur may, when the iron is melted with high sulphur coke, show from .06 to .08 per cent. A slow melting cupola with low temperature favors the absorption of sulphur. An increase of sulphur, the other elements and the rate of cooling remaining constant, hardens iron by increasing the combined carbon and also causes greater shrinkage, contraction and chill. Less change in the percentage of sulphur present is required to harden or soften cast iron than in that of any other element. Sulphur shortens the time that iron will remain fluid in the ladle, "destroys the life of the iron," and if present to a large extent, makes the production of sound castings very difficult. The molten iron is sluggish and sets quickly, thereby enclosing escaping gases, dross, kish, etc., which cause blow holes and dirty castings. Where sulphur is present to any considerable extent, the iron must be poured very hot. Iron will absorb as much as .3 per cent sulphur with increasing fusi- bility and decreasing fluidity. 262 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron An increase of .01 per cent of sulphur can neutralize the effect of from .08 to .10 per cent silicon. In coke irons, usually, as the silicon decreases the sulphur increases. To maintain a uniform degree of hardness in castings the increase of silicon corresponding to successive increases of .01 per cent sulphur should be about as follows: Sulphur, per cent 01 .02 .03 .04 .05 .06 Silicon, per cent 2 . 00 2.10 2 . 20 2 . 30 2 . 40 2 . 50 Sulphur may be largely expelled from cast iron by the use of man- ganese, passing off in the slag as sulphide of manganese; the greater the amount of manganese present, the less sulphur will the iron absorb and, it is possible, where the manganese is very high, for the iron to lose sulphur in melting. From I to 2 per cent manganese, in addition to that carried by the pig iron, is sometimes used in the ladle, to effect the removal of sulphur; care must be exercised in this respect, however, as manganese in excess of that taken up by the sulphur tends to harden the iron. When the fuel does not contain more than .08 per cent sulphur and the iron has about .5 per cent manganese, the sulphur in ordinary gray irons will increase about .025 per cent in melting. The injurious effects of sulphur are largely counteracted by the use of phosphorus. Other elements remaining constant, an increase of .1 per cent phosphorus produces about the same results in counteracting the effects of sulphur as does an increase of .25 per cent silicon. By the use of phosphorus instead of silicon for this purpose, the fluidity of the iron is greatly increased; gases, dross, etc., can come to the surface and greater freedom from blow holes, shrink holes, etc., results. Irons with high combined carbon are usually high in sulphur. Long- muir gives the following as the result of examinations of the sulphur content for different amounts of combined carbon. Grade Combined carbon Sulphur Silicon I 2 3 4 5 Mottled .50 .60 .80 1. 10 1.30 1.80 .02 .02 .04 .08 .10 • IS 2. so 2.30 1.80 1.50 1.20 .70 White 3.00 .20 .30 The sulphur content of pig iron usually runs from .01 to .08 and some- times higher. Prof. J. J. Porter concludes his remarks on the effects of sulphur upon the physical properties of cast iron as follows: "Through the formation Phosphorus 263 in the iron sulphide of eutectic films, it causes brittleness and weak- ness, especially to shock. Through its action on the carbon it increases hardness and may either increase or decrease strength according as the combined carbon is already too low or too high. It has a great tendency to cause blow holes, especially near the upper surface of thick castings. So marked is this effect in pig iron that high sulphur pig may nearly always be spotted by the presence of blow holes in the top surfaces. "Sulphur probably has a more detrimental effect on low silicon, or chill iron, than on the ordinary foundry grades. All of these effects of sulphur are considerably lessened by the presence of sufficient manganese to insure its being in the form of MnS, but on the other hand, the segre- gation of MnS may cause bad places in the casting, apparently due to dirty iron." The statements given above are those generally entertained as regards the deleterious influence of sulphur. They are not, however, entirely confirmed by the investigations of Prof. Turner and Mr. Keep. The former remarks that: "We are still in need of exact information as to the influence of sulphur in cast iron." After a long series of experiments to determine the injurious effect of sulphur on cast iron, Mr. Keep con- cludes that the presence of .05 per cent of that element will not exert any appreciable deleterious influence, and that what little ill effect results is corrected by a slight increase of silicon. Such small percentage of sulphur does not seem to influence the depth of chill, nor does there appear to exist any relation between the sulphur content and the strength of an ordinary casting. "While there is no indication that sulphur is in any way beneficial, on the other hand, evidence is lacking to show that its influence is ever any- thing but injurious; and the suggestion arises from the records, that the prevaiUng opinions regarding the deleterious effects of sulphur are partly superstitious, due, largely, to laboratory experiments made under con- ditions never met with in the foundry."

Weight per cubic inch . 066 The phosphorus content in pig iron comes mostly from the ore, but also in part from the fuel and flux. 264 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron Phosphorus weakens cast iron, lowers its melting point, imparts fluidity, tends to soften and decreases shrinkage. It has no direct effect on carbon, but since it prolongs the cooling of melted iron it gives more time for graphitic carbon to separate out. Its influence in imparting fluidity is greater than that of any other element, hence its presence within moderate limits (i to 1.25 per cent) is especially desirable for light, thin castings. After it is once taken up by the iron very little of it escapes, but its percentage is frequently increased if it exists to any extent in the fuel or flux used in melting. Phosphorus largely counteracts the influence of sulphur to increase combined carbon, shrinkage, contraction and chill. An increase of .1 per cent phosphorus in the iron will produce about the same physical results in counteracting the effects of sulphur, as an increase of .25 per cent sihcon, all other elements remaining constant. Where over .7 per cent phosphorus is present in the iron it tends to make the latter cold short and unless there is necessity for extreme fluidity the phosphorus content should not exceed i per cent. By reason of its tendency to increase fusibiUty, it should be kept as low as possible in castings required to stand high temperatures. In machinery castings containing 1.5 per cent phosphorus, the tools are quickly heated and worn. Where great strength is required of castings, the phosphorus content should not exceed .02 per cent. Where blow-holes are formed in castings, by reason of occluded gases, phosphide of iron is frequently extruded into them in the shape of globular masses or shot. Ferrophosphorus may contain from 20 to 25 per cent phosphorus and is sometimes used in the ladle where prolonged fluidity is desired. Prof. Turner states that the presence of 0.5 phosphorus in cast iron produces excellent results and that where fluidity and soundness are more important than strength, from i to 1.5 per cent may be permitted; it should not be allowed in excess of the higher hmit. According to Prof. Porter, the addition of i per cent phosphorus to iron containing 3.5 per cent carbon and 2 per cent silicon approximately: Lowers the temperature at which freezing begins from 2200° to 2150° F., or 50° F. Lowers the temperature at which freezing ends from 2165° to 1740° F., or 425° F. Increases the temperature range of solidification from 50° to 375° F. Manganese 265 Manganese Atomic weight 55 • 00 Specific gravity 8.1 Specific heat .12 Melting point 2250° F. Latent heat of fusion Weight per cubic foot ,506. 25 pounds Manganese is a white metal, having a brilliant crystalline fracture. It has a strong affinity for oxygen and sulphur, but none for iron; alloys with iron in all proportions. The manganese in pig iron comes from the ores. Foundry irons contain from .2 to 2 per cent manganese. Manganese pig from 2 to 10 per cent; spiegeleisen from 15 to 40 per cent; ferromanganese from 50 to 90 per cent. There is always a loss of manganese in remelting. It escapes by volatilization; by oxidation, and if sulphur is present, by uniting with it to a greater or less extent. The amount of loss depends on the amount of blast and percentage of sulphur present in the fuel. With I per cent manganese present in the iron the loss of Mn in re- melting varies from .2 to .3 per cent. A peculiarity of manganese is that it may impart to pig iron, or castings, a very open grain, rendering them apparently soft, even though they are quite hard. It greatly affects the capacity of iron to retain carbon; where only .75 per cent Mn is present in the iron the carbon content may be as high as 4 per cent. It decreases the magnetism of cast iron and when present to the extent of 25 per cent the magnetism disappears. As the percentage of manganese in iron increases, that of sulphur decreases. On the other hand, the higher the manganese, the greater the combined carbon. Manganese hardens cast iron, promotes shrinkage, contraction and chill; but by reason of its affinity for sulphur and its removal of this element, it may produce effects precisely the opposite of those above stated. However, if the amount of manganese is greater than that required for the removal of the sulphur present, the excess causes the iron to take up more carbon in combination, and hardness results. Increasing manganese above .75 per cent, the other elements remaining constant, causes greater contraction and chill on accoimt of its hardening influence. These effects may be very pronounced in light castings. 266 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron On account of its strong affinity for oxygen it tends greatly to the removal of oxides and occluded gases, thereby preventing blow-holes. Manganese pig iron is an ordinary iron, carrying somewhat more manganese than the ordinary foimdry irons. It is used to raise the combined carbon, to add strength to the mixture, to prevent blow-holes, to give life to the iron and for the removal of kish. Ferromanganese comes to the fomidry in a fine powder. It is used in the ladle in the proportion of about i pound to 600 pounds of iron and acts as a purifier, driving out sulphur, softening the iron where hardness is due to sulphur and reducing the chance of blow-holes. When used in this way the iron must be very hot, as with dull iron it does little good. It should be thoroughly incorporated with the iron by stirring. It must be used with caution, as irons with low silicon and carbon and high manganese are hard and shrinky. The use of manganese pig iron in the cupola gives better results, and is less expensive than that of ferromanganese in the ladles. It is claimed for manganese that it makes hard iron soft and soft iron hard. With respect to the influence of Mn upon chill, Mr. Keep's views are at variance with those above given. He states that manganese does not increase chill, but under certain conditions may aid in removing it. Aluxmnum Atomic weight 27.1 Specific gravity 2 . 65 Specific heat o. 212 Melting point 1182*^ F.

It does not occur in pig iron. When added to iron in the ladle it should be thoroughly mixed by stirring. Its influence on cast iron resembles that of sihcon, in producing a softening effect by the conversion of combined into graphitic carbon. A white iron to which from .5 to .75 per cent of aluminum has been added becomes gray. Aluminiun decreases shrinkage and chill, and increases fluidity. By reason of its ajffinity for oxygen it tends to prevent the formation of blow-holes. It closes the grain of irons high in graphitic carbon, but may render them sluggish and dirty. When used in amounts exceeding 1.5 to 2 Titanium 267 per cent it has a weakening influence. Hard irons containing from 1.25 to 1.4 per cent combined carbon are made stronger by the addition of aluminum. The amount of aluminum which may be used varies from .25 to 1.25 per cent; its action is somewhat uncertain and its alloys with iron are erratic at times, producing results the reverse of those anticipated.

When used in quantities varying from .5 to 5 per cent, its tendency is to harden, render more dense and increase the tensile strength of cast iron. In large amounts it is said to have a softening influence. Mr. A. McWilliams found that an alloy of white Sweeds iron with 50 per cent nickel gave a soft fine gray metal, even when cast in sections from I to 3 inches thick, in chills. Cast iron containing from 25 to 30 per cent nickel resists corrosion. Nickel is little used in cast iron, except where great strength is re- quired. It imparts most valuable properties to steel. Titanium Atomic weight 48 . 00 Specific gravity 5.3 Specific heat Melting point 4000° F. Latent heat of fusion Weight per cubic foot 330 pounds Titanium is found in many brands of foundry and Bessemer irons, running in percentages from a trace to i per cent. It increases the strength of cast iron to a marked degree. An addition of from .01 to .06 per cent titanium has shown in test bars an increase of 40 per cent in transverse strength. It has a strong affinity for oxygen and nitrogen. Ferroalloys are made to contain from 10 to 30 per cent titanium. When ferrotitanium is added to iron in the ladle, it unites with the oxygen and nitrogen, the resulting oxides and nitrides passing off in the 268 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron slag; none of the titanium remains in the iron, except when used in large quantities; its effect then is to harden the iron. Formerly titanic irons were carefully avoided and it does not appear that ferrotitanium has as yet been used to any great extent by foundry- Investigations by Dr. Richard Moldenke and Mr. G. A. Rossi indicate, however, that the use of ferrotitanium promises a marked improvement as regards strength and the removal of nitrogen and oxygen from cast iron. Mr. Rossi found as the result of his experiments that the addition of 4 per cent of a lo per cent ferrotitanium to cast iron increased the transverse and tensile strength from 25 to 30 per cent. Dr. Moldenke gives the following summary of results obtained by him. Mixtures Gray White Original iron plus .05 T " .10 T " .05 T. and carb.

From the above simimary it appears that the greatest increase in strength was found in gray iron. With vanadium and cast iron the Doctor found results directly con- trary to the above. He calls attention to the fact that the improve- ment in strength is almost as marked with .05 per cent to .1 per cent titanium as with ,15 per cent, showing that any excess of titanium over that required to produce oxidation is wasted; hence .05 per cent will be sufficient for foundry practice. He found that titanium reduces chill but the chill produced is very much harder than that made in the usual way. Titanium is of value as preventing blow-holes and producing sound castings.

The analyses of the test bars show much more vanadium than was used. This is attributed to errors arising from the dif&culties experienced in making the experiments on too small a scale. Dr. Moldenke concludes: "The results shown in the table speak for themselves, and the averages tallied off for each table show a remarkable progression of values. To increase the breaking strength of a test bar from 2000 up to 2500 for gray iron and 1500 up to 3900 for white iron, is sufficient to warrant further investigation on the part of every foundry- man, who has special problems in strength to master." Thermit Thermit is a mixture of oxide of iron and aluminum, which when ignited burns at an intense heat (resulting temperature is said to be 5400° F.) in consequence of the great affinity of aluminum for oxygen. This compound is made by the Goldschmidt Thermit Co. Its use in the foundry is to raise the temperature of dull iron; to keep the iron in risers fluid, and for the mending of broken castings. A titanium thermit is also made by same company. This is used for the introduction of titanium, to remove nitrogen and oxygen, as well as for its heating effect. The claim is made, that cast iron can be advantageously used in place of steel castings, if titanium thermit is employed in connection with it. Nickel thermit is used for the introduction of nickel. Oxygen Atomic weight ^5 • 9^ Specific gravity (compared to atmos- pheric air 32 °F. and one atmosphere) i . 1056 Weight per cubic foot 624 . 8 grains No element, perhaps, causes the foundryman more trouble than oxygen. Iron oxidizes very rapidly at high temperatures, in presence of air. The oxides are readily dissolved in molten iron and the gases liberated from them in the castings are the frequent cause of cavities and blow-holes. Ferrous oxides, produced in the process of smelting, are found to a greater or less extent in all pig irons. Those irons in which mill cinder has been largely used, often contain high percentages of dissolved oxides. Nitrogen 271 Frequently the ends of broken pigs present blow-holes in body of the pig, or worm-holes toward the upper surface. These are certain indi- cations of the presence of oxygen or sulphur and such iron should be used carefully. In remelting in the cupola, as the molten iron passes through the tuyere zone, more or less oxidation occurs, especially if the bed is high and the blast strong. Rusty scrap (fine scrap particularly) furnishes ferrous oxides in large amounts. The removal of ferrous oxides may.be largely effected in the cupola by an abundance of hot slag. Ferromanganese and aluminum are used in the ladle for same pur- pose. The most effective deoxidizers are the metals in the order named below : Titanium Aluminum Vanadium Sodium Magnesium Manganese Calcium Silicon Nitrogen Atomic weight 14.01 Specific gravity (air i) . 9713 Specific heat . 244 Weight per cubic foot 548 . 8 grains Nitrogen is absorbed from the blast as a nitride, by iron in melting; and as the metal cools, the gas is Hberated. Very little is known as to the influence of nitrogen upon cast iron; its effect upon steel is very injurious; as little as .03 per cent causing a great loss in tensile strength and nearly eliminating ductility. Gray pig irons show only a trace of nitrogen from .007 to .009 per cent; in white iron it sometimes runs as high as .035 per cent. So far as tests have been made it does not appear that, in gray iron, any relation exists between the quality of the iron and the nitrogen content. It has a remarkably strong affinity for titanium, combining with it to form a nitride, which is insoluble in molten iron and passes off in the slag. Ground ferrotitanium previously heated is used in the ladle for removal . of nitrogen. Arsenic and copper are sometimes found in pig iron, but in amounts so small that the effects produced by them are inappreciable. 272 Influence of the Chemical Constituents of Cast Iron In concluding the subject of metalloids, the statement made by Prof. Porter as to the approximate influence of the more important ones on combined carbon must not be omitted. I per cent silicon decreases combined carbon 45 per cent. I per cent sulphur increases " " 4. 50 per cent. I per cent manganese " " " 40 per cent. I per cent phosphorus " " " 17 per cent. CHAPTER X MIXING IRON The mixing of iron for the cupola is done either by fracture or by chemical analysis. Mixing by Fracture The fracture of the freshly broken pig is taken as the index of its com- position. A dark gray color, with coarse open crystalline grain indicates a soft iron, and, as a rule, one capable of carrying a large percentage of scrap. As the color becomes lighter and the grain closer, hardness increases and less scrap can be used. Very hard irons are mottled or white and are used for special work. A broken pig may present a dark fracture with open grain, but with a fine white streak showing at the outer edges of the fracture. Such an iron will make hard castings, owing to the presence of too much man- ganese. Blow holes and worm holes indicate sulphur or ferrous oxides. Iron showing these with frequency should be used carefully. Segregations, much lighter in appearance than the rest of the fracture, frequently appear. These indicate higher percentages of carbon, sulphur or manganese at those particular spots and the iron should be used with care. Mixing by fracture is uncertain and is liable to produce irregular and unsatisfactory results. The foundryman must always proceed cautiously and can only arrive at the results desired by careful trial. The following mixtures are taken from West's " Foundry Practice." Locomotive Cylinders 2600 pounds car wheel scrap. 600 pounds soft pig. Marine and Stationary Cylinders 50 per cent No. i charcoal. 50 per cent good machinery scrap. 33 per cent car wheel scrap. 33 per cent good machinery scrap. 33 per cent No. i soft pig. 273 274 Mixing Iron Rolling Mill Rolls 50 per cent car wheel scrap. 25 per cent No. i charcoal. 25 per cent No. 2 charcoal.

Kettles to Stand Red Heat 1300 pounds No. I charcoal pig. 800 pounds car wheel scrap. 700 pounds good machinery scrap. Chilled Castings to Stand Friction {no strain) 200 pounds white iron. 200 pounds plow points. 100 pounds No. 2 charcoal. 100 pounds car wheel scrap. Ordinary Castings 33 per cent No. i soft pig. 67 per cent scrap. Thin Pulleys 66 per cent No. i soft pig. 34 per cent scrap. Sash Weight 67 per cent scrap tin. 33 per cent stove scrap. The advent of the chemist into the foundry offers means to avoid many of the uncertainties coming from the selection of irons by fracture, and the more advanced foundrymen are now -mixing their irons by analysis. Mixing Iron by Analysis This method of mixing iron is by no means entirely removed from uncertainties. The chemist is not yet able to insure the production, from irons of known chemical composition, of castings of definite physical characteristics. Analysis should be supplemented by physical tests. Again, while the foimdryman may have correct analysis of his pig iron, if scrap is used to any extent, especially foreign scrap, he must approxi- mate the elements contained therein. Mixing Iron by Analysis 275 The statements made on page 307 offer some little assistance, but, in general, reliance must be placed on experience in this respect. Where the scrap comes entirely from previous casts, one can readily arrive at its constituents and much uncertainty is removed. The quahties necessary for different grades of castings may be sum- marized as follows: 1. Hollow Ware, Stove Plate, Sanitary Ware. — Require fluidity, softness; must be high in silicon and phosphorus; low in combined carbon. 2. Light Machinery Castings. — Require fluidity, softness, strength and absence of shrinkage. Must be high in total carbon and manganese; low in sulphur and contain less silicon and phosphorus than grade No. i. 3. Heavy Machinery Castings. — Require softness, strength and low shrinkage. Should be lower in silicon, phosphorus and graphitic carbon than No. 2. Higher in combined carbon and manganese; low in sulphur. 4. Castings requiring great strength should be low in silicon, graphitic carbon, sulphur and phosphorus. Combined carbon should be about .50 per cent; manganese .8 per cent to i.o per cent. 5. Car Wheels and Chilled Castings. — Require low silicon, phosphorus, graphitic carbon and sulphur. High combined carbon and manganese. 6. Chilled Rolls. — Require low silicon, graphitic carbon and phos- phorus. High combined carbon. The following table is abstracted from "Proceedings of the American Foimdrymen's Association," Vol. X, Part II, which contains the results of a long series of tests made by their committee to standardize test bars. The mixtures are not given as being recommended by the committee for the several purposes, but simply to indicate the practice of some of the larger American foundries.

Porter, at the request of the American Foundrymen's Association, undertook the investigation of the composi- tions used for various classes of castings, with a view to formulating standard mixtures. His report embraces every variety of work and contains tabulated analyses of several hundreds of mixtures in use. The averages of the mixtures in each class of work, together with those suggested by Prof. Porter, are subjoined.

Where the scrap is very nearly of uniform quality, the analysis of the castings from any given heat furnishes data from which a very close approximation can be made of the scrap used in the previous heat. Assuming such character of scrap, and knowing the mixture used in any heat as well as the analysis of the castings, compute the analysis of scrap used in previous heat. Let the castings show the analysis of example 2, viz.: Si, 2.40, S, .09, P, .70, Mn, .52. Then the] mixture must have been as before, Si, 2.66, S, .06, P, .70, Mn, .577. The irons having the assumed analysis of example 2, then: 25 per cent No. 2 Southern gives. 15 per cent No. 2 Northern gives. 10 per cent silver gray gives . .

CHAPTER XI USE OF STEEL SCRAP IN MIXTURES OF CAST IRON Steel scrap, when added to mixtures of cast iron in quantities varying from lo to 40 per cent, closes the grain, increases the toughness and adds greatly to the tensile strength of the castings made from such mixture. The steel should be low in carbon, such as boiler plate scrap, machine steel, rail ends, etc. Turnings from machine steel are frequently used in the ladle. In this case the steel should be heated quite hot, placed in the ladle and the iron tapped out on it. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred until the steel is melted. In all cases the iron must be very hot. Mixing steel in the ladle does not give as satisfactory results as mixing in the cupola. As the steel is low in carbon the iron used should be high in total carbon, otherwise the castings will be hard with over 10 per cent steel scrap. The following table by Mr. H. E. Diller presents the results of a series of tests, with mixtures made by varying in percentages of steel scrap from i2i/^ to 37!/^ per cent: No. Sili- con Sul- I phur 'hos- hor- '^ us ga lan- nese Comb, carbon Graph- itic carbon Total carbon Tensile strength Trans- verse strength Per cent steel I 1.43 .047 564 82 .670 3.14 3.81 23,060 2550 2 1.50 .065 532 33 .640 3-44 3 08 30,500 2840 25 3 1.76 .062 488 53 .510 3.12 3 63 22,180 2440 4 1.76 .139 51S 57 .430 2.94 3 37 37,090 2770 I2l/^ 5 1.77 .069 339 49 .560 2.87 3 43 32,500 3120 .121/^ 6 1.83 .100 610 55 .510 2.44 2 95 36.860 3280 25 7 1.75 .089 598 35 .740 2.12 2 86 30,160 3130 37^ 8 1.96 .104 446 44 .630 3.18 3 81 21,950 2230 9 2.12 .037 410 26 .380 3.26 3 64 21,890 3470 121.^ 10 2.16 .060 31S 20 1.060 2.30 3 36 26,310 2670 12H II 1.97 .093 470 48 .570 2.83 3 40 32,530 3050 2n\'i 12 2.35 .061 515 56 .540 340 3 94 21,990 2200 13 2.53 .104 490 54 .600 2.56 3 16 33,390 2850 25 14 2.36 .064 327 24 1.080 2.15 3 23 31,560 3200 25 These tests were made with pig iron, ferrosilicon and steel scrap. No cast iron scrap was used. Mr. Diller concludes: "The tests given seem 290 Recovering and Melting Shot Iron 291 to indicate that 25 per cent of steel will add 50 per cent to the strength of the iron, and 12K2 per cent of steel, approximately 25 per cent." The tests containing 371/^ per cent steel were hardly as much im- proved in strength as those with 25 per cent of steel; from which we may infer that the limit of the amount of steel it is beneficial to melt with iron in a cupola is between 25 and 371/i per cent. Results of experiments made by Mr. C. B. McGahey are embodied below. Mr. McGahey used test bars i in. by i in. by 24 in. (distance between supports not stated).

"I find that to get the strongest bars I have to keep pretty close to these analyses and have made my strongest bar at 2350 pounds with .55 inch deflection. The iron had a fine grain, was low in graphite, but machined nicely. When ferromanganese was used, about i per cent was found to be best. The above resulting compositions (the silicons of the mixtures being calculated to bring them about right) are intended for castings ranging from i inch to 2}^ inches in section. Should heavier work be required it is better to run the silicon in the pig up to 2.75 and manganese up to 2.00 and use 33!/^ per cent of steel scrap." An addition of 10 per cent steel scrap to mixtures for engine cylinders gives excellent results affording a close-grained tough iron. Steel scrap increases shrinkage and causes the iron to set quickly; hence the irons used, should be high in total carbon and must be melted and poured very hot. Steel scrap promotes chill and is largely used with coke irons in making car wheels, obviating the use of the expensive charcoal mixtures. The charges containing steel should be melted during the first part of the heat, and in each charge the steel should precede the iron. Recovering and Melting Shot Iron The shot from gangways and cupola bottom is usually recovered by riddling the gangway sand; picking over the dump and by grinding the 292 Use of Steel Scrap in Mixtures of Cast Iron bottom in the cinder mill. This is also done by magnetic or hydraulic separators. The amount recovered by machines is much greater than that obtained by hand. After charging of the cupola is completed, the shot should be thrown on top of the last charge, using with it some of the coke picked from the dump. Each heat should take care of the shot from the previous one. The melted iron coming from the shot can be poured into grate bars, sash weights, or other coarse castings; or it may be run into pigs and used as scrap. Mr. W. J. Keep describes his method of recovery as follows: ''After the blast has been shut off and all of the melted iron has been drained from the cupola, make a dam on the floor in front of the cupola spout about 4 inches high, enclosing a semicircular space, having a radius of about 4 feet. Let the melter lay a tapping bar across the spout and have three or four laborers with a piece of old iH inch shafting about 8 feet long ram in the breast. If the bottom and spout have been made right there will be no melted iron in the cupola, but ram back and forth to allow all to drain out. All the liquid slag in the cupola will run into the enclosed space underneath the spout and if there is any iron in this, it will run through the slag and lie on the floor in the form of a slab which can be picked up the next morning. When the cupola has been emptied of all slag and iron drop the bottom. I like to draw the refuse out from underneath the cupola, turning it- over and cooling it down with water. The pieces of the sand bottom are thrown to one side and all the iron that can be seen is picked up. All the iron taken from the cupola dump, the pig bed, or from the gangways, which is not bad casting, is weighed up and charged as remelt or home scrap. All remaining small pieces of coke, iron or slag are shoveled up from the bottom and from all parts of the foundry and placed in boxes on the cupola platform. This includes skulls from the ladles which contain more or less iron. When the last charge of iron has been placed in 'the cupola and the heat is near enough to the end to show that there will be no shortage of iron, throw into the cupola any shot iron that may be left over, and all the refuse previously mentioned. The iron and slag will be melted at once and the small bits of coke will hold the blast down and insure hot iron. All the finest shot iron is saved in this way, as well as all coke in the form of small pieces and nothing is lost." The disposition on the part of many foundrymen is to neglect the Melting Borings and Turnings 293 saving of shot iron, preferring to sell to junk dealers what can be readily recovered. Such will not be the case, however, in a well- managed foundry, as by close attention to its recovery the loss in melt can be reduced from I to 2 per cent. At one of the large western foundries, through mismanagement, shot had been allowed to accumulate until a portion of the yard was covered to a depth of from 12 inches to 20 inches. This was dug up, milled and melted; 1500 pounds, at each heat, were thrown on top of the last charge, without additional fuel; the melted iron was run into pigs. Over 84 tons of No. 4 pig were recovered; 25 per cent of the scrap used in charging was replaced by this iron and the usual mixture was in no other respect changed. Burnt Iron This class of iron is of no use except for making sash weights. When used for ordinary purposes, the loss caused is greater than the gain. It makes iron hard, causes a great amount of slag and chokes up the cupola. It should be carefully selected and thrown out of the scrap. Melting Borings and Turnings Cast iron borings and turnings which are usually disposed of to junk dealers at a low price may be advantageously melted by packing them in wood or iron boxes, about 100 pounds to the box. The boxes should be charged a few at a time, by throwing them into the center of the charge and covering them with scrap. These will descend to near the melting zone before they are burned or melted. Mr. W. F. Prince has patented a process for melting borings, etc., which consists of packing them in sheet iron pipes, with or without bottoms. The pipes are of any convenient length, from 30 to 48 inches; the first one is placed on the coke bed and the others on top of it, with the charges surrounding them. This differs little from the method of using boxes, where the latter are piled on each other. In either case the containers prevent the fine material from being blown out of the stack. Many attempts have been made to render borings, etc., suitable for melting, by briquetting. So far, these efforts seem to have been only partially successful. A process has recently been developed in Germany, by which the borings are made into briquettes under hydraulic pressure. It is claimed that the product successfully meets the purpose and preliminary tests made in America seem to warrant the statement. CHAPTER XII TEST BARS TfflS subject has been treated exhaustively by a Committee of the American Foundrymen's Association. Their report was adopted by the Association in June, 1901. Extensive extracts from the report are given below. The work covered the testing of 1229 bars by 160 1 tests; the following table shows the character of the heats from which the bars were taken.

"Throughout the whole line of operations only regularly constituted mixtures were used, the balance of the heats from which these test bars were cast going directly into commercial castings of the classes designated. The results are, therefore, entirely comparable with daily practice. For purposes of comparison green sand and dry sand bars were made side by side. It was felt that comparison records were wanted just as much as specifications for the separate lines of product. For this reason, we recommend one standard size of test bar for comparative purposes only, each class of iron being given its special treatment for the information wanted in daily practice in addition. 294 Test Bars 295 "Our studies on the shape of the test bar have resulted in the selection of the round form of cross section and this mainly on the score of great- est uniformity in physical structure. . . . There is still a further point of interest, in the preparation of test bars and that is, the making of coupons from which the quality of the castings to which they are attached is to be judged. This method is used extensively in govern- ment work and in the making of cyl- inder castings. The idea of obtaining material from the same pour in the same mould as part of the casting itself is good enough in theory. Unfortu- nately, however, this direct connec- tion introduces elements of segrega- tion and temperature changes in the cast iron which make this test less valuable than is generally supposed. At best the iron which has passed through the different parts of a mold before entering the space for the coupon will not be representa- tive of the whole body, but rather one portion of it only. We therefore recommend the method shown later on in Fig. 75. The metal can be poured from crane or hand ladle, clean and speedily, and possesses the temperature of the average iron in the casting more nearly than the coupon method now practiced. Your committee while giving spe- cifications for the tensile test of cast iron is of the opinion that the trans- verse test is the more desirable and certainly within reach of even the smallest foundry. In selecting the test bars for the purpose of specification, we have followed the cardinal principle of selecting the largest cross section for the iron consistent with a sound physical structure and within the range and structural limits of an ordinary testing machine. The following are the sizes of bars selected for tests as a result of our investigations. For all tensile tests, a bar turned to .8 inches in diameter, corre- FiG. 75. 296 Test Bars spending to a cross section of Yi square inch. Results, therefore, multi- phed by two, give the tensile strength per square inch. For transverse test, of all classes of iron for general comparison; a bar ii-i inches in diameter, on supports, 12 inches apart; pressure applied in the middle and deflection noted. Similarly for ingot mould, light machinery, stove plate and novelty iron, a ii.^-inch diameter bar; that is to say, for irons running from 2 per cent in silicon upward, or from 1.75 per cent silicon upward where but little scrap is in the mixture. For dynamo frames, sash weights, cylinders, heavy machinery and gun metal irons; similarly, a 2-inch diameter bar is recommended, that is, for irons running from 1.5 per cent to 2 per cent in silicon or where the silicon is lower and the proportion of scrap is rather large. For roll irons, whether chilled or sand, arid car wheel metals, a 214- inch diameter bar is recommended; that is, for all irons below i per cent silicon and which may, therefore, be classed as the chilling irons. The method of moulding the test bar we would recommend is given herewith. At least three bars of a kind should be made for a given test. The sand should not be any damper than to mould well and stand the wash of the iron without cutting, blowing or scabbing. It should be rammed evenly to avoid swells and poured by dropping the metal from the top through gates, or from ladle direct into the open mould. After the bars are cast they should remain in their moulds undis- turbed until cool." Proposed Standard Specifications for Gray Iron Castings 1. Unless furnace iron, dry sand, loam moulding, or subsequent annealing is specified, all gray iron castings are understood to be of cupola metal; mixtures, moulds and methods of preparation to be fixed l>y the founder to secure the results required by purchaser. 2. All castings shall be clean, free from flaws, cracks and excessive shrinkage. They shall conform in other respects to whatever points may be specially agreed upon. 3. When the castings themselves are to be tested to destruction, the number selected from a given lot and the tests they shall be subjected to are made a matter of special agreement between founder and purchaser. 4. Castings under these specifications, the iron in which is to be tested for its quality, shall be represented by at least three test bars cast from the same heat. 5. These test bars shall be subjected to a transverse breaking test, the load applied at the middle with supports 12 inches apart. The Patterns for Test Bars of Cast Iron 297 breaking load and deflection shall be agreed upon specially on placing the contract, and two of these bars shall meet the requirements. 6. A tensile strength that may be added, in which case at least three bars for this purpose shall be cast with the others, in the same moulds respectively. The ultimate strength shall also be agreed upon specially before placing the contract and two of the bars shall meet the require- ments. 7. The dimensions of the test bars shall be as given herewith. There is only one size for the tensile bar and three for the transverse. For the light and medium weight castings the i^i inch D bar is to be used; for heavy castings, the 2 inch D bar; and for chilling irons the 2H inch n test bar. 8. When the chemical composition of the castings is a matter of specification, in addition to the physical tests, borings shall be taken from all the test bars made; they shall be well mixed and any required determination (combined and graphitic carbon alone excepted), made therefrom. 9. Reasonable facilities shall be given the inspectors to satisfy them- selves that castings are being made in accordance with specifications, and if possible tests shall be made at the place of production prior to shipment."

It was found that, with few exceptions, the values decrease as the areas increase. In the table on pages 299 and 300, which is extracted from their report, the moduli are given for bars having areas of i square inch, 2.25, 4, and 9 square inches. "The results show that rough bars are stronger than machined and that there is practically no difference between bars made in green or dry sand. An examination of the table shows that the transverse strength is greater in the rough than machined bars, except in two instances, viz. : D bar, series /, in dry sand the rough bar broke with 178 pounds less load than the machined bar. O bar, series L, in dry sand, the rough bar broke with 115 pounds less load than did the machined bar. The average loss in transverse strength of the green sand bar by machining was 12 per cent; that of the dry sand bar 10 per cent. The following articles are introduced as showing how little reliance can be placed on the results from test bars. It is shown that bars identical in chemical composition, but made from different brands, differ widely in physical properties; indicating the importance of using in mixtures, irons from different localities, as well as from different furnaces. The micrographs show clearly the variation in structure corresponding to the widely varying results, but it remains for the metallurgist to point out the causes for these differences." Erratic Results — Test Bars Mr. F. A. Nagle submitted to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers the following report of his investigation of test bars for castings used in the Baltimore Sewage pumps. "In machinery castings as well as in cast pipes, separate bars are cast and subjected to tensile or transverse stress to the breaking point, these results being used as evidence of compliance with the contract speci- fications. The writer has examined a large number of such test bars for castings used in the Baltimore Sewage pumps and here reports the results of this examination and study. Perhaps the most important conclusion is that the test bar is not to be regarded with too much confidence as indicative of the exact strength of the casting. All transverse bars were nominally 2 inches by i inch by Modulus of Rupture in Pounds Per Square Inch 299 Rough Machined Area in square Square Round Square Round inches Green Dry sand sand Green sand Dry sand Green sand Dry sand Green sand Dry sand Ingot Mould Iron.

They were cast from two patterns in one mould and made in the same kind of sand as the main casting. The flask was incUned about 30 degrees. There was but one gate for the two bars with suitable risers. The iron for the bars was poured from a small ladle of iron taken as nearly as possible from the middle of the pour of the m^in casting. The breaking loads were corrected for varying dimensions of the bars by the formula W = , where b and d are the actual dimensions, W the actual breaking load and W the corrected load of weight. These results are used throughout this paper. The deflections were not corrected. The tensile bars, 1% inches by 6 inches, were cast upright in the same mould as the main castings, within 3 or 4 inches thereof, and connected by an upper and lower gate. The tensile bars were turned to i i/i inches in diameter and threaded, and the middle portion reduced to 1.129 inches in diameter which is equal to i square inch area.

From April 4 to Dec. 19, 1908, there were made 91 pairs of tensile bars and an equal number of transverse bars and each piece of the pair is recorded instead of the average. Of these 249 tensile bars and their corresponding transverse bars, 32 sets — 26 flat and 6 round — were rejected for defects due to blow-holes and four tensile bars were too hard to bear threading, but the companion pieces were used in this record. Of the 217 specimens here recorded, 42 were designated as abnormal; that is, the ratio between the tensile and the transverse bars was either considerably greater or smaller than the average. 302 Test Bars By referring to Table II it will be seen that of the 175 specimens of cast iron running from 20,000 to 30,000 pounds tensile strength, the ratio of tensile to breaking loads is practically 10 to i and the deflection 0.45."

Two special flat bars and two special roimd bars, cast in one mould, one gate and at one pour varied as follows: Two flat bars 12 per cent; two round bars 7 per cent. In order to get some more definite information on these variations, if possible, I had a pair of transverse and a pair of tensile bars made and cast in the same mould and while the average was again nearly 10 to i as shown in Table III, the same type of bars again varied 12 and 7 per cent respectively.

To any one questioning the results, I can only say from my own knowledge of the circumstances, that the personal equation did not enter into them. Careful observation of broken bars did not show that the so-called "skin of the metal" was of any appreciable thickness and the metal was remarkably homogeneous throughout. The tensile bars being turned, the skin, if there was any, of course disappeared. It is my opinion that the skin adds practically nothing to the strength in either transverse or tensile bars; other causes, though obscure, produc- ing far greater deviations." 304 Test Bars Casting Defects Although many castings were condemned for physical defects not a single case of cold-shut was observed. In one instance of defect, he says: "To remove all doubt that the test bars were truly representative of the iron in the main casting, two tensile bars were cut out of a large flange which had been at the bottom of the mould. These, from the most favored part of the casting, as v/ill be seen, stood but about 17,350 pounds; 90 per cent of that revealed by the test bars. In this case there was a remarkable agreement between this pair of test bars. It may be interesting to apply these results to the formula for the strength of cast-iron beams subjected to similar stress. T, PI The formula commonly used isR= ^-^-7, , where R is called the modulus of rupture, or stress per square inch of extreme fibre, P = load at center, I = length between supports in inches, b and d = breadth and depth respectively in inches. Make the proper substitutions and we have R = 42,840 pounds. This is not the correct figure, however, for the extreme fibre stress. We know this cannot exceed the tensile strength which we have found to be 23,732 pounds. I think it is better to use D. K. Clarke's formula given on page 507 of WL his " Engine Tables." S = r^r , where 5= extreme fibre stress or I. 155 bd^ tensile strength. If we use the tensile strength found in these tests as 23,732 pounds, the breaking load W would become 2284 pounds; the actual breaking load being 2383 pounds. As this is within 4.3 per cent of the average found in these tests, this formula, using the tensile strength for the extreme fibre stress, seems to me to be more intelligible and dis- penses with the "coefficient of rupture." Circular Test Bars Since the foregoing was written I have had the opportunity to ob- serve two circular test bars, nominally iH inch diameter by 15 inches long, with 12-inch centers. These bars were cast from two separate patterns in one vertical dry sand mould, and poured from a small hand ladle, first one and then the other, with the result shown in Table V. Circular Test Bars 305 Table V. — Circular Test Bars in Vertical Dry Sand Moulds Bar mark Transverse Tensile Deflection Value W by formula Original diameter H 3344 3344 3026 2 23,070 23,754 24,670 3 .15 •IS .12 4 2948 3036 3153 5 1.305 H 1.305 X 1.300 / 6 The tensile bars were taken from the bottom ends of the broken test bars, but I do not know whether H ox X was poured first. The first tensile bar H had a small air-hole, which being allowed for, added 7 per cent to its tensile strength, and this is also given in the table. A second bar was then turned up from the immediate joining piece with the result recorded in the table first. The turned bars were 0.937 inch diameter. Column six gives the original diameter. Column two was found by reducing the actual breaking loads in the ratio of the cubes of the diam- eters, and column three was reduced to the square inch area. Why the transverse breaking loads should vary 10 per cent and the tensile bars 4 to 7 per cent the opposite way, a total variation of 14 to 17 per cent, I leave to the reflection of the reader. If we apply Clarke's formula for the breaking weight for circular bars, W = - — - — -, , we find the values given in column five. While the blow-holes seem to be more frequent in flat transverse bars than in round attached tensile bars, the latter seem liable to a greater abnormal hardness, for which I have no explanation. Some indication of the toughness of cast iron may be seen in its deflec- tion, which is not revealed in a direct pull. I would, therefore, be satisfied with two or three transverse test bars 2 in. by i in. by 24 in. centers, and a deflection record poured as near as may be from the middle of the pour of the main casting as giving a fair indication of the iron in the main casting, but mathematical exactness cannot be looked for as yet. If we wish to know approximately the corresponding tensile strength of the iron, we can multiply the breaking load of the 2 in. by i in. by 24 in. flat bar by 10. If the test bar is iM inch diameter by 12-inch centers its breaking load should be multiplied by 8 to obtain the approximate tensile strength. 3o6 Test Bars The general rule seems to be, that where both flat bars agree in break- ing loads, the tensile strength is lo to i of the breaking load, but where they differ the lo to i ratio does not hold. A better practice, therefore, might be to cast three round transverse bars and accept the two that agree, if each is round, as a fair sample of the iron, dispensing with the tensile bars. This concession to the manufacturer, I believe, v/ould entail not only no loss to the city's interests, but a positive gain. EFFECT OF STRUCTURE OF CAST IRON UPON ITS PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Microscopic Evidence of the Reason why Irons of Similar Chemical Composition have Different Relative Strengths BY F. J. Cook and G. Hailstone " During daily foundry practice, with work made from mixtures of iron that have the same chemical composition and where tests are frequently taken, it is often found that widely different physical results are obtained. Instances of this have been brought to the notice of this association . . . but in neither case was an explanation of the phenomena given. Attempts have been made to give a satisfactory explanation of these differences, but on the whole the conclusions arrived at have not been generally accepted. In the past the instances cited have generally been isolated ones, but a remarkable series of tests over a lengthy period has recently been met with by one of the authors. 1 r~ ^ -?- v^ 'h 'A ^iLi^v^-5^/...

Fig. 78 is a diagram of tensile test results of two series of casts, each representing 60 consecutive days working with irons mixed to give the Effect of Structure of Cast Iron upon Its Physical Properties 307 same chemical composition, but each series made up with different brands of pig iron. That the chemical analysis was identical in each case was proved by analyses taken from time to time which, in each instance, for all practical purposes came out ahke. The diagram shows that the highest tensile result in the A series was lower than the lowest result in the B series. A summary of the whole of the tests is shown in Table I.

The transverse bars were cast iH inch square, machined down to I inch square and tested on 12-inch centers. Referring to Table I, it will be seen that the results of the transverse tests on the i inch square bars also show a marked difference, as do the tensile tests. It will be noted, however, that the average result of the transverse test on the 3'^-inch square bars is slightly in favor of the series which gave the weakest tensile, and with the i -inch square bar opposite results. This point will be referred to later. As the method of manipulation and the chemical composition of the two series were the same, it was thought that a microscopical analysis would reveal a cause for the vast difference. For the first investigation a low bar of the A series, and the highest bar of the B series were ex- amined. The chemical analysis of the two bars was first taken as shown in Table II. 3o8 Test Bars Table U. — Comparative Chemical Analysis of the Two Series Series ....

To insure the results being absolutely comparative, a number of micrographs were each taken from the same position at the center of the bars. Fig. 79 shows the polished, but unetched section of the low bar from the A series, Fig. 80 the high bar from the B series. These show the size of the graphite in each case, the one having it in the form of long flakes, the other in very small flakes. Fig. 79. Figs, 81 and 82 show the same surfaces etched with iodine and magni- fied 120 diameters. In the one case the large flakes of graphite are plainly seen in a matrix of cementite, phosphorus eutectic, pearlite and ferrite; while in the other, the graphitic carbon is scarcely visible and a closer structure is observed. Otherwise, there is nothing very remarkable to account for such widely different physical results. Chemical Analyses 309 The same surfaces were then treated on the lines laid down by Mr. Stead at the 1909 convention, to bring into prominence the phosphorus eutectic. Fig, 83 shows the 9.1 ton bar, and Fig. 84 the 18.3 ton bar. In both cases not only is the phosphorus shown but the cementite as well. In Fig. 83 the phosphorus and cementite are evenly distributed, and have not taken up any definite form of structure, the graphite being also shown intermixed with them, but in Fig. 84 a very remarkable arrange- ment of a net-like formation of phosphorus and cementite is shown. As Fig. 81. — A Series; tensile strength 18,200 pounds per sq. inch; mag- . nifi cation 120 diameters. Fig. 83. — A Series; tensile strength 18,200 pounds per sq. inch; mag- nification 30 diameters. Fig. 82. — B Series; tensile strength 36,600 pounds per sq. inch; mag- nification 120 diameters. Fig. 84. — B Series; tensile strength 36,600 pounds per sq. inch; mag- nification 30 diameters. it had been noticed with bars previously examined that those giving high test had also been associated with this particular net-like structure, we were lead to the conclusion that probably strength was associated with this structure independently of what the chemical composition might be; we, therefore, examined a series of bars made by one of the authors a few years ago to show the effect on strength of different rates of cooling. For this experiment four bars had been made in one box, cast from the same ladle of metal, which was ordinary No. 3 foundry- pig iron. Taken from " castings," Aug. 1909. 310 Test Bars The rate of cooling was regulated by means of cast iron chills of different thicknesses placed in the moulds for three of the bars, the other having no iron chill. The bar without the chill gave a tensile test result of 8.1 tons per square inch, while the bar at the other end of the series broke at 15.2 tons per square inch. These two bars were selected, the chemical analyses of which are given in Table III. Table III. — Analysis of Medium Bar Tensile strength Total carbon Graphitic carbon .

The bars are also totally different in chemical composition from those previously examined.

As there is no cementite present in this specimen, it is proof that the particular formation is not dependent upon cementite. Fig. 87. Fig. 88. There was next examined another bar from B series. This had a tensile strength about half way between the two bars previously selected, and had given a tensile test result of 13.9 tons per square inch. The analysis of this bar is shown in Table III. This showed that while the total carbon and other elements were practically the same as the two bars previously taken, the graphitic carbon was higher by 0.35 per cent, and the combined carbon lower by 0.35 per cent. This was probably due to the fact that this bar had been cast on a much larger casting than the previous two. The size of the graphite in this bar is illustrated by an unetched section in Fig. 89 which shows that although it is smaller than that shown in Fig. 79 of the 9.1 ton bar, it is larger and more elongated than that contained in the 18.3 bar, Fig. 80. Fig. 89. Fig. 90. The phosphorus eutectic which is shown in Fig. 90 is the same net-like formation as associated with the previous strong bars, though rather less clearly defined and appears to be getting into the transition stage between the two. 312 Test Bars The foregoing results, we think, have been sufl5cient to show that in each case, physical properties have been associated with this net-like formation of the phosphorus, also that the graphite, when in the elongated form, appears to split up phosphorus eutectic and prevent this formation, as clearly shown in Fig. 83. The question of the tendency of the graphite to take either an elongated or finely divided form, we think, is more a question of the way in which the pig iron has been made than of its subsequent treatment in the foundry. The statement of Mr. Pilkington in this respect is very interesting: "Furnace men have always been conversant with the fact that the temperature at which" pig iron leaves the tapping hole of the furnace has a powerful effect on its physical characteristics. The temperature of a large modern blast furnace is very much higher and the metal, therefore, takes very much longer to cool than that which leaves the tapping hole of the smaller furnaces. Pig iron from the extreme types could be made practically in a different manner altogether, and would show very different grades, grains and degrees of hardness. On referring again to the summary of tests taken with the A and B series it will be seen that the results of the J-^-inch transverse bars of the A series, which gave weak tensile results, are slightly higher than those of the B series, and from this, together with the evidence of the chilled and unchilled bars made from low grade iron, we are of the opinion that no matter what their chemical compositions ma,y be, there is a rate of cooUng which will give high physical properties; the structure of the iron then being associated with the net-like formation of the phosphorus eutectic and the cementite when present. Tests reported to the International Association for Testing Materials show: -Circular bars showed greater bending and tensile strength than those of rectangular section. Test pieces taken from castings showed lower strength figures than bars separately cast. Extracts from Prof. Porter's Report Prof. Porter's report contains so much information of value to the foundryman, that extensive extracts are made from those parts relating to the properties and mixtures offcast iron, notwithstanding they may comprise much which has already been considered. In treating of the different forms of iron as occurring at differ- ent temperatures, they are designated as the "alpha," "beta" and "gamma." The "alpha" form in the ordinary iron as known in unhardened steel Chilled and Unchilled Bars 313 at ordinary temperatures, is one of the constituents of slowly cooled gray pig iron, and is formed below 1140° F. The "beta" form is that between 1440° F. and 1680° F.; it is harder than the "gamma." Prof. Howe suggests its identity with martensite, the chief constituent of hardened tool steels. It is non-magnetic and differs from "alpha" iron in specific heat and density. The "gamma" form is the stable one above 1680° F., is very hard, non-magnetic, and differs in specific heat and density from both the "alpha" and "beta." It is held that the "gamma" and "beta" forms may be preserved at ordinary temperatures by very rapid coohng, especially in the presence of carbon which is supposed to retard the change from one form into another.

CHAPTER XIII CHEMICAL ANALYSES Strength As regards chemical composition there are nine factors which influence strength of cast iron: (i) Per cent graphite; (2) size of individual graphite flakes; (3) per cent combined carbon; (4) size of primary crystals of solid solution Fe-C-Si; (5) amount of dissolved oxide; (6) per cent phosphorus; (7) per cent sulphur; (8) per cent silicon; (9) per cent manganese. 1. "Per cent graphite. — The weakening effect of graphite is due to its own extreme softness and weakness, and to the fact that it occurs in small flakes or plates and hence affords a multitude of cleavage planes through the metal. The size of the graphite particles is evidently important as well as the amount but this factor will be discussed under another head. Theoretically^ the simplest method of decreasing graphite is to lower the silicon, each decrease on i per cent in silicon lessening the graphite by 0.4s per cent, provided the total carbon remains the same. Practi- cally, however, the fact that all the carbon not graphite becomes combined is an important objection, for when we lower the silicon too much the resulting increase in combined carbon increases the hardness and, beyond a certain point, decreases the strength. The minimum permissible silicon will depend chiefly on the hardness allowable, The same objection applies to decreasing the graphite by increas- ing the sulphur and manganese, and in the case of sulphur there is also the objection that its direct effects are injurious. The rate of cooling is, of course, beyond the control of the foundryman in the majority of cases, while even if it were not, the graphite could not be reduced by rapid cooHng without a corresponding increase in com- bined carbon. Coming finally to the total carbon, we find here a means of reducing graphite without in any way affecting carbon, and hence, hardness. The only hmitation to this is that as total carbon and graphite are reduced, shrinkage is increased and the metal becomes more liable to oxidation, blow-holes and other defects. 315 3i6 Chemical Analyses There are three ways of reducing total carbon in castings; first, by the use of low carbon pig iron; second, by melting in the air furnace; third, by the use of steel scrap in the cupola mixture. In air furnace melting it is easy to reduce total carbon to almost any figure within reason. 2.75 per cent is commonly obtained in melting for malleable castings. Of course the silicon is also burnt out during this process, but were it desired, this could be readily replaced by suitable additions of ferrosilicon. From the standpoint of quality the air furnace is certainly the ideal method of melting, and hence, we find that many lines of castings which must be of particularly high quality are invariably made from air furnace metal. The addition of steel scrap to the cupola has now become common practice, the product obtained being known as semi-steel and differing chemically from ordinary cast iron only in being somewhat lower in total carbon and graphite. Physically the metal so made is characterized by greater strength and total shrinkage, hardness remaining about the same. ..." The chief points to be watched in melting steel scrap in the cupola mixture are as follows: " Trouble with blow-holes. — This is due to the fact that semi-steel being lower in carbon oxidizes more readily than cast iron. The trouble may usually be overcome by correct cupola practice and the use of ferro- manganese or other deoxidizers in the ladle. Owing to the higher melting point of semi-steel mixtures, ferromanganese is much more efficient as a deoxidizer here than in the case of cast iron. . . . High shrinkage. — This is due to the decrease in graphite and is hence inevitable. On work where this is an important factor a proper balance must be struck between shrinkage and strength. . . . Imperfect mixture of steel and iron resulting in irregular quality of casting, hard spots, etc. — This results from the higher melting point of steel and consequent difficulty of getting perfect solution in the cast iron. It may be largely overcome by careful attention to the charging of the cupola, placing the steel scrap on the coke and the iron on top of the steel (so that the steel will reach the melting zone first and the molten pig will run down over the heated steel instead of away from it as would happen if the order were reversed). A large receiving ladle should, of course, be used also. Another point to be observed is in regard to the size of the steel scrap. Too large scrap is difficult to melt, but, on the other hand, very small scrap is also objectionable as being an abundant source of hard spots in the castings. Apparently very small pieces of steel are Uable to be washed down through the coke bed and out of the cupola spout without being completely melted. Strength 317 Regarding the amount of steel scrap to use, it has been found by trial that the best results are obtainable with about 25 per cent. Increase to S3H per cent caused a slight falling ofif in strength. Probably these figures would not hold for every condition of practice, but, in general, 20 to 30 per cent steel is a suflQcient amount to give the maximum results. 2. Size of graphite flakes. — The size of the graphite flakes is prob- ably the most important factor of all those which influence strength, and is the one which most frequently upsets our calculations as to the rela- tion between chemical composition and strength. . . . Recently, how- ever, Messrs. F. J. Cook and G. Hailstone have brought out in a striking manner the great difference in irons in this respect. They give data showing that of two mixtures practically identical in composition the one was invariably much lower in strength (usually about one-half) than the other, this being the case for a great many heats extending over a long period of time." Analyses and tests are given as typical of the series. "Messrs. Cook and Hailstone have investigated and compared the micro-structure of the strong and weak bars and record two interesting facts: First, that the graphite flakes are invariably much larger in the weak bars; second, that when the polished specimens are treated so as to bring out the phosphide eutectic this eutectic is seen to be arranged in the customary heterogeneous mamner in the weak bars but in a dis- tinct meshwork structure in the strong iron. These authors draw the conclusion that it is this meshwork structure which gives great strength to cast iron, but with this conclusion the writer cannot entirely agree. It seems more probable that the increase in strength is caused by the fine state of division of the graphite and that the same influences which have caused this have also caused the meshwork structure. We may get some idea of the quantitative relationship between strength and size of graphite by considering the relative strength of malleable cast iron and a very open gray cast iron representing the smallest and largest graphite respectively. Malleable cast iron has a tensile strength of 40,000 pounds and upwards per square inch; open gray iron about 20,000 pounds per square inch. Apparently, then, the increase in the size of the graphite has caused a loss of at least 20,000 pounds in tensile strength. It is one thing to find that to get strong iron we must have the graphite in finely divided state and another and much more difficult matter to formulate rules whereby we may secure this desired condition. . . .' 3i8 Chemical Analyses The factors which influence the size of the graphite flakes in cast iron are as follows : A. Factors which certainly exert an influence. a. Rate of cooling. b. Pouring temperature. B. Factors which may possibly exert an influence. c. Time which iron has remained in the molten state, d. Presence of dissolved oxide. ' - e. Presence of steel scrap in the mixture. /. Mixture of different brands. g. Nature of ore from which iron is made and treatment in the blast furnace. h. Per cent metalloids. a. The influence of rate of cooling is undoubted, and an example showing its effect on strength and fitructure is given by Cook and Hail- stone. We have to distinguish here, however, between the rates of cooHng through different ranges of temperature. Evidently the graphite which is separated within the semi-hquid iron will have a much better chance to grow large crystals owing to the greater mobihty of the medium in which it is formed, while that graphite formed within the soUd metal will necessarily be in small particles. Hence, we see that it is the rate of cooling through the soHdificatioti range 2200° to 2000° F., which is of prime importance, and if we can check the formation of graphite through this range and then allow it to form in the solid metal at lower temperatures we will have all the conditions for both the soft and strong iron. This is the principle of Custer's process of casting in permanent moulds and the making of malleable castings is based on the same theory." b. The pouring temperature also undoubtedly exerts an influence on the size of the graphite flakes, and hence, on the strength. ..." Longmuir finds that iron poured at a medium temperature is stronger than when poured either very hot or very cold. Longmuir' s experi- ments, by the way, are the only ones in which a pyrometer was used and the temperatures of pouring measured in degrees. . . . For this reason we may place the greatest faith in Longmuir's results. It is probable that the pouring temperature affects the size of the graphite flakes indirectly through changing the rate of cooling through the solidification range. On this assumption the best results should be obtained from metal poured at as low a temperature as will suffice to give sound castings. c. Time which iron has remained in the molten state. This might conceivably have an effect in the case of cast iron high in total carbon, Strength 319 since graphite separating in the hquid metal would remain in the metal if poured at once, and this graphite is in the form of large flakes known as kish. d. Presence of dissolved oxide. — There is no direct proof that this affects the size of the graphite flakes. However, it is well known that addition of deoxidizing agents almost invariably improves the strength and it is barely possible that a portion of this may be due to change in the size of the graphite. e. Presence of steel scrap in the mixture. — Although no exact data are at hand it is the common impression that the addition of steel scrap 'closes the grain,' which is equivalent to saying that it reduces the size of the graphite. . . . /. Mixture of irons. — It is firmly believed by many foundrymen of the old school that a mixture of brands gives better results than a single brand of the same chemical composition as the average of the mixture. ... g. Cook and Hailstone believe that the difference in strength of the two mixtures quoted by them is due to some inherent quality of the pig iron derived from the ores used or their nianner of treatment in the blast furnace. This inherent quahty may have some connection with the presence of oxygen or nitrogen in the metal. . . ." h. Per cent metalloids. — This, we know, has a certain effect. For example, high silicon is likely to cause larger graphite as well as more of it. Phosphorus should, theoretically, cause larger graphite since it prolongs the solidification period in which large flakes are free to separate. . . . Sulphur and manganese . . . close the grain, and probably diminish the size of the graphite, as well as its amount. 3. Per cent combined carbon. — According to Professor Howe the properties of cast iron are the properties of the metallic matrix modified by the presence of the graphite, but since this metallic matrix may be considered as a steel of carbon content equal to the combined carbon of the cast iron, we can predict accurately the effects of combined carbon by the use of the data on steel. In the case of steel it is found that the strength increases regularly with the carbon up to about 0.9 per cent, then remains nearly stationary up to about 1.2 per cent, above which it falls off slowly. In the case of cast iron the strength is dependent upon so many factors besides combined carbon that it is almost impossible to determine by direct experiment the percentage of combined carbon giving the maximum strength. All indications, however, are that the highest strength is obtained with somewhere between 0.7 per cent and i per cent combined carbon which is in sufficiently close accord with the corre- 320 Chemical Analyses spending value for steel. We may, therefore, state tentatively that the maximum strength is obtained with 0.9 per cent carbon, all other factors remaining constant. This appb'es only to tensile strength (and approximately to transverse). For compressive strength a somewhat higher value, probably about 1.5 per cent combined carbon, would be found to give better results. 4. Size of primary crystals of solid solution Fe-C-Si. — There is absolutely no data as to the effect of this factor on the strength of cast iron and it is only from analogy with steel that we give it a place in the list of actors influencing strength. ..." 5. Effect of dissolved oxide. — . . . It is probably a much more important factor than is generally supposed, but there is absolutely no data on which to base a quantitative estimate of its effect." To reduce oxide in cast iron to the minimum, the following points may be observed : First, get the best brands of pig iron. It is probable that pig made with charcoal fuel contains less oxygen than that made with coke fuel. Cold blast pig is better than hot blast. Pig iron made from easily reducible brown or carbonate ores is lower in oxygen than the pig made from red hematite or magnetic ores, while iron made from mill cinder should never he used in foundries where strength is a prime consideration. Moreover, a pig iron high in manganese is apt to be comparatively free from oxide because of the deoxidizing power of manganese at the high temperature of the blast furnace. It is noteworthy as confirming these observations that most brands of iron which have achieved a reputation for strength are high in manganese and many of them are charcoal irons. The Muirkirk and Salisbury brands which have been known for years as among the strongest irons made in this coimtry answer to every one of these conditions. They are made from readily reducible ores using cold blast and charcoal fuel and contain from i to 2 per cent manganese." Second, avoid oxidizing conditions in the cupola, particularly high- blast pressures and wrong methods of charging. Dr. Moldenke's system of using small charges is to be highly recommended in this connection." Third, deoxidizing agents may be used, added either to the cupola or to the metal in the ladle. Of the commercially available deoxidizers, ferrotitanium, ferrosihcon and ferromanganese are, perhaps, the most successful, all things considered. Titanium thermite is also extremely valuable in this connection. . . . " 6. Per cent phosphorus. — Phosphorus lessens both the dynamic and static strength, but the former more than the latter. It weakens be- ' Strength 321 cause it forms with iron a hard and brittle compound which has but little resistance to shock. The weakness produced is in nearly direct proportion to the amount of this compound present. The effects of phosphorus on strength do not become marked until upward of i per cent is present, but for great strength and particularly strength to shock it should be much lower. Ordinary strong irons may have up to 0.75 per cent, while iron which is to withstand shock should not exceed 0.50 per cent and is better even lower. . . ." 7. Per cent sulphur. — The action of sulphur in decreasing the strength of iron is explained in Chap. IX, page 261, and it is also explained there why it is so much less harmful in the presence of manganese. Many tests have been made showing that sulphur has no marked effect on strength and many foundrymen will use sulphur to harden iron and close the grain. It is true that an indirect strengthening effect can be obtained through the use of sulphur in some cases, i.e., if too soft an iron is being used the strength will be increased by the addition of any element which will lessen the graphite, but the hardening is usually better obtained through decrease in silicon than through increase in sulphur. While increased sulphur may not always show in decreased strength of test bars, yet it is a frequent source of blow-holes, dirty iron and various defects caused by high shrinkage, hence, it often causes an indirect weakness in the iron. 8-9. Per cent silicon and manganese. — These elements act chiefly in an indirect manner and because of their effects on the condition of the carbon; their direct influence in the strength of the metallic matrix is unimportant. From analogy with steel it is probable that sihcon in amounts of over i per cent causes weakness and brittleness in the metal. Similarly, manganese has probably a weakening effect due to its direct action when present in amounts of more than 1.5 per cent. The preceding discussion is summarized in the following practical rules for making strong castings: Use strong brands of iron. . . . Charcoal irons if cost wiU permit; irons made from easily reducible ores; irons high in manganese. Avoid oxidation in melting. Look carefully after the details of cupola practice; avoid oxidized scrap; use deoxidizing agents in ladle if practicable. . . . Keep the silicon down as low as possible and still have the necessary softness. About 1.50 per cent will be right for the ordinary run of medium castings; higher for small castings and lower for heavy ones. With low total carbon high sihcon has less effect. Keep the phosphorus low, especially when sulphur is high. 0.50 per cent or under is best. 322 Chemical Analyses Keep the sulphur low, especially if phosphorus is high. Under o.io per cent is all right for most castings." Keep manganese high, i per cent for large castings, 0.7 per cent for medium, 0.5 per cent for small castings. Use from 10 to 25 per cent steel scrap in the mixture. Me. Keep recommends using 10 per cent cast iron borings charged in wooden boxes. He states that this is very effective in closing the grain and strengthening the castings. For iron which is required to have the greatest possible resistance to shock, the points to be especially observed are as follows: Keep the phosphorus as low as practicable, still having the necessary fluidity. It should best be below 0.30 per cent. Keep the sulphur as low as possible. If practicable add vanadium or titanium to the ladle either in the form of ferroalloy or as thermite. ... Elastic Properties Of the elastic properties of metals, only toughness and its opposite, brittleness, and elasticity and its opposite, rigidity, are ordinarily con- sidered in cast iron. Toughness is defined as resistance to breaking after the elastic limit is passed. Elasticity is the amount of yield under any stress up to the elastic limit. It is unusual for these properties to be determined separately in cast iron, but their sum is given by the deflection which is determined in transverse testing. It is probably true that they nearly always vary- together, and, hence, that deflection is a fairly good measure of either one as well as both. Toughness is practically always a desirable quality in cast iron, but the same is not true of elasticity since in many machines great rigidity is a prime requisite. The factors influencing toughness and elasticity are about the same as those influencing strength, i.e., the chemical composition, presence of oxide and size of graphite. ... In general, to get a tough elastic iron we should keep sulphur, phosphorus and combined carbon low; manganese, no higher than is necessary to take care of the sulphur; graphite and silicon, the less the better, providing that the combined carbon is not increased; and finally, use metal of good quahty, melted carefully so as to be free from oxide. In ordinary gray iron castings it is not practicable to attempt to control the graphite, since the combined carbon needs first attention and Elastic Properties 323 the graphite will necessarily be the difference between total carbon and combined carbon. The silicon also must be adjusted with a view to regulating the combined carbon. Practical rules for getting the maxi- mum toughness and elasticity will then be about as follows: Sihcon, 1.5 to 2.0 per cent for castings of average thickness, more or less for very Hght and very heavy castings respectively. Sulphur as low as practicable, best under 0.08 per cent. Phosphorus as low as practicable considering the necessity for fluidity. Best under 0.50 per cent. Manganese from three to five times the sulphur. Use good irons and good cupola practice to insure freedom from dissolved oxide. . . . "In case steel scrap can be used, i.e., semi-steel made, the toughness may be considerably increased through decrease in the amount of graphite and in the size of the grain. The other elements may remain about as before except that it may be necessary to run the manganese a Uttle higher to counteract the greater tendency of the semi-steel to become oxidized. As previously noted, rigidity is desirable in some cases. This is the converse of elasticity and may be obtained by the direct opposite of the rules given for obtaining elasticity. However, to get rigidity with the least sacrifice of strength and toughness it is desirable to use manganese and combined carbon rather -than to increase phosphorus and sulphur. That is, we would lower silicon as much as necessity for softness will allow and raise manganese to about i per cent (or less in very light work). It should be noted that manganese is particularly efficient in increasing rigidity since it accomplishes this end with comparatively little sacrifice of strength and toughness. A few examples of very tough and elastic iron are as follows: No. Silicon Sulphur Phos- phorus Manga- nese Com- bined carbon Graphite carbon Total carbon I 2.5c^2.75 .80 2.45 1. 18 2.36 050 30 .43 .30 .24 .87 1,08 2.34 2.15 3.21 3 4 5 092 084 064 063 27 33 3.23 No. I represents iron which in thin sections can be punched and bent. No. 2 is an analysis of a gray cast iron which is exceedingly malleable. Nos. 3, 4 and 5 are gray irons sho^Adng deflections for the transverse test bars rather higher than usual. 324 Chemical Analyses Hardness ... It is generally stated that hardness in cast iron is due chiefly to the presence of combined carbon and is only indirectly or to a less extent caused by other elements. The writer believes that this is not altogether true and that there is another factor causing hardness which has not heretofore been generally considered in the case of cast iron." It is well known that when steel is hardened by quenching from a temperature above its critical point its carbon is not in the combined state but rather in a form known as hardening or solution carbon, while the iron is retained in the ' gamma ' allotropic form. It is the behef of the present writer that the same is true of cast iron and that many cases of hardness are to be explained in this way. For example, Keep de- scribes a sample of cast iron which was too hard to drill and yet contained only 0.60 per cent combined carbon, and many analyses are on record of irons which have been quenched from comparatively low temperatures and are almost glass hard in spite of the fact that the combined carbons are under i per cent. I think it probable that the hardness of high manganese irons is due chiefly to this same cause since manganese is known to favor the retention of ' gamma ' iron. Granting for the present the truth of this theory, the presence of the 'gamma' or hard form of iron is controlled by the rate of cooHng and the percentages of metalloids present; so that for aU practical purposes we can say that there are six factors which influence hardness, i.e., the rate and manner of cooling, the combined carbon, silicon, sulphur, man- ganese and phosphorus. The first two of these are of the greatest importance and we will then take up in reverse order, leaving the most important till the last. Phosphorus has a shght hardening effect in large quantities but in amoxmts less than i per cent its effects are nearly imperceptible, and it does not become important until the amount exceeds commercial Hmits, or, say, 1.5 per cent. We may, therefore, usually neglect the effects of phosphorus in considering hardness. Manganese, although usually regarded as a hardening agent may sometimes soften iron. This anomalous resiilt is explained by the action of manganese on sulphur. If the iron is high in sulphur and low in manganese the first additions of manganese will unite with the sulphur forming the comparatively inert manganese sulphide and thus softening the iron. If, however, the manganese be increased beyond the amount necessary to care for the sulphur, increased hardness will result. ... A pig iron containing 3 per cent manganese may have a beautiful open gray fracture and yet be so hard as to be drilled pnly Hardness 325 with great difficulty. In addition, the presence of manganese sometimes produces a peculiar kind of gritty hardness, the iron acting as if contain- ing small hard grains. With regard to the amount of manganese re- quired to produce hardness it will be evident that this depends largely on the per cent of sulphur present and also on the rate of cooHng. In general, heavy castings will stand up to i per cent of manganese without noticeable increase of hardness, medium castings about 0.75 per cent and Ught castings 0.50 per cent. Sulphur is an exceedingly energetic hardening agent acting, however, chiefly through the carbon. That is, sulphur has a strong tendency to keep the carbon in combined form and in that way to harden Each o.oi per cent sulphur will increase the combined carbon by about 0.045 PSJ" cent, other things being equal. It must be remembered, how- ever, that this applies only to sulphur in the form of iron sulphide, and that in the form of manganese sulphide, i.e., in the presence of about three times its weight of manganese, it acts much less energetically. Sulphur also has a direct action in hardening, iron sulphide and manganese sulphide being quite hard substances. Usually this action is imperceptible, but occasionally one meets with hard spots which are due to the segregation of these sulphides. SiHcon is generally known as a softening agent and, within reasonable limits, has this effect due to its action in decreasing the combined carbon. The direct effect of silicon, however, is to harden since it forms with iron a compound which is harder than the iron itself. When silicon is added to cast iron its first effect, as before stated, is to decrease the combined carbon. This, it does, at the rate of about 0.45 per cent for each per cent of silicon added. Actually the rate of decrease is more rapid than this, and, in consequence, by the time we have from 2 to 3 per cent silicon present (depending on the rate of cooHng) we have practically all the combined carbon precipitated out as graphite and, hence, there is no further possibihty of softening in this way. Now; any increase in silicon only increases the amount of the hard iron-silicon alloy, there is no more combined carbon to be decreased, and, hence, the hardness will now be increased again. In other words, it is possible to have too much of a good thing, the good thing in this case being silicon. The actual percentage of sihcon which is necessary to secure any given degree of softness will depend upon the size of the casting, the nature of the mold and the amount of sulphur and manganese present. It is, therefore, impossible to give definite silicon standards unless each of these factors is known. . . . Combined carbon (or solution carbon) is the chief hardening agent of cast iron, and, under ordinary conditions, the hardness of the metal 326 Chemical Analyses will be closely proportional to the percentage present. Of such relative unimportance are the effects of the other elements that it has been found practicable to use the amount of combined carbon as a measure of the hardness of castings and as a means of predicting their behavior in the machine shop. ... "To machine easily, cast iron should not contain over 0.75 per cent combined carbon, i.oo per cent combined carbon gives a pretty hard casting and 1.50 per cent is about the upper Hmit for iron to be machined. The rate and manner of cooling of the casting are usually supposed to influence its hardness only as it affects the percentage of combined carbon. That it does affect the amount of combined carbon is a well- estabHshed fact. . . . However, we sometimes get hardness in the absence of any considerable amount of combined carbon. Hence, there must be some other factor at work, which, in the writer's opinion, is a solution of carbon in 'gamma' iron, the hard constituent of tool steel. According to this theory, combined carbon disappears in the tem- perature range 2200° F. to 1500° F., while 'gamma' or hard iron is not transformed into the ' alpha ' or soft variety until the casting has cooled to about 1300° F. Evidently, then, ordinary rapid cooling of castings from the melted state results in both high combined carbon and high 'gamma' ;ron, and hence we have hardness due to both of these causes. The more rapid the cooling, the higher the combined carbon and the higher also the 'gamma' iron, therefore, since both vary together, the percentage of combined carbon is a satisfactory measure of the hardness produced by both factors. "If, now, the conditions of cooling are changed, this need no longer be the case. For example, suppose we cool the casting slowly from the molten state down to 1600° and then quench it in water. In this case we would get nearly all combined carbon changed to graphite diuring the slow cooling through the upper range, while the rapid cooling through 1300° preserves the ' gamma ' iron solution and hence gives hardness due to this cause. Some of the peculiar things noted in connection with Custer's process of casting in permanent moulds are to be explained on this basis. Also, the much greater softness of castings which have been allowed to cool in sand and thereby anneal themselves over those shaken out soon after being poured. " Chilled iron is simply white iron, that is, iron in which graphite is absent and the carbon all in the combined or solution state. The same iron may be both gray and white, depending on rate of coohng and hence the exterior of the casting, if rapidly cooled, may be white while the interior which cools more slowly remains gray. Usually there is an Hardness 327 intermediate zone having a mottled structure formed through the inter- lacing and the gradual merging of the gray and white. A chiUing iron, then, is one which when rapidly cooled contains all of its carbon in the combined state. The factors which influence the depth and quahty of chill are the temperature at which the iron is poured, and the amounts of silicon, sulphur and phosphorus, manganese and total carbon, besides some of the elements which are not normally present in cast iron, but which are occasionally added. The higher the temperature at which iron is poured the deeper the chill, other things being equal, and it is usually considered advisable to pour chilled castings from hot iron. The quantitative effects of pouring temperature have been studied by Adamson, and while there are some conflicting results, it is in general indicated that in the case of the strongly chilling irons an increase of 50° in the pouring temperature causes an increase of from H to J4 inch in the depth of the chiU. The most important element in its effects on chill is silicon, which has the strongest action in precipitating graphite. For chilling iron, silicon should be low, but how low depends on the thickness of the casting, the temperature of pouring and the depth of chill desired as well as on the percentage of other elements in the iron. Table I gives a very approx- imate relationship between the percentage of silicon and depth of chill, other elements bei^ about normal. Table I. Approximate Relation Between Per Cent Silicon and Depth of Chill Silicon, per cent Depth of chill, inch Silicon, per cent Depth of ^ chill, inch I. SO 1.25 1. 00 Me 3/16 .75 .50 .40 ■ H H I Sulphur ^tends to increase the combined carbon, and, hence, the chill. So marked is its influence in this respect that it is sometimes added to cast iron to increase the depth of the chill. This,' however, is not usually good practice since the chill imparted by sulphur is lacking in toughness and strength as well as in resistance to heat strains. Scott cites the case of stamp shoes for mining machinery where sulphur was used to increase the chill. The shoes were very hard at first, but soon went to pieces under the repeated blows. Johnson, also, has noted the great difference between high and low sulphur chilled iron as regards 328 Chemical Analyses ability to withstand the strains of sudden cooling without cracking. On the other hand, West states that the chill produced by sulphur is very persistent to frictional wear, and, hence, it may be inferred that sulphur adds to the life of castings which are subject to abrasion. It has been stated that the presence of a small amount of sulphur is essential in order to get the best results in chilled rolls. This, however, is doubtful and it is believed that it is only rarely that sulphur is desirable in chilled castings. The presence of a moderate amount of manganese in cast iron greatly lessens the bad effects of sulphur in chilled as well as in gray iron castings. "Phosphorus in the amounts ordinarily present in commercial cast iron has but slight influence on the depth of the chill but does have a more or less injurious effect on its strength. It is generally stated that high phosphorus has the effect of causing a sharp hne of demarkation between the gray and chilled portions of the casting. . . . It is believed that it is best to limit the phosphorus in chilled iron to about 0.4 per cent. Manganese, since it tends to increase the combined carbon, also tends to increase the chill; However, it must be remembered that the first effect of manganese is to neutralize sulphur, and, therefore, in small amounts it may indirectly decrease the chill. Manganese very greatly increases the hardness of the chill, and, to a less extent, its strength. It also increases the resistance of the chill to heat stjjain and whence di- minishes the danger of surface cracks in such castings as chilled rolls and car wheels. Still another effect is the promotion of a more gradual merging of the gray and chilled portions of the castings. Manganese is usually considered a desirable constituent of chilled iron and the amounts used vary all the way from 0.40 up to 3.0 per cent. . . . Of late years, semi-steel mixtures have been used to some extent for chilled castings, the total carbon being considerably lower than in the ordinary mixture. The effect of low total carbon is to give a deep and comparatively soft chill as compared with the shallow, hard chill obtained with high total carbon. "It has been proposed to use nickel as a means of controlling chill, this element having an effect somewhat similar to silicon. Hence, by starting with a strong chilhng iron and adding nickel, the depth of the chill would be lessened in some ratio to the amount of nickel added. Since the same results may be obtained by the use of less expensive sihcon it is difficult to see any advantage in adding nickel. The quality of chilled iron may be very greatly improved by the addition of small amounts of titanium or vanadium. The beneficial effects of these elements are probably due chiefly to their deoxidizing power. . . . Shrinkage 329 Grain Structure "The fracture or grain size and the porosity are closely related and are both dependent primarily on the size of the graphite particles, and, to a less extent, on the percentage of graphite. ... Silicon should be kept jvist as low as possible and still have the cast- ings soft enough to machine. The exact percentage will depend on the thickness of the casting, the character of the mould and whether the casting is allowed to anneal itself or is quickly shaken out after pouring. It may range from 0.75 per cent for very heavy work up to 2.0 per cent for small valves, etc. It is believed that the majority of founders use more sihcon than is best in work of this character." Combined carbon has a powerful action in closing the grain and giving a dense iron and should be just as high as possible and still have the iron machinable. . . . Manganese had best be kept moderately high since it appears to have some beneficial effect in closing the grain. Sulphur is a powerful agent in closing the grain and is frequently made purposely high for this end. It is, however, a dangerous agent since it may cause trouble in other directions, and as a general proposi- tion it is better to keep the sulphur low and get necessary density by a proper regulation of sihcon and manganese. Finally, one of the best, if not the best, means of closing the grain of cast iron and seciuring the maximum density is by means of steel scrap in the mixture. This is now common practice with makers of hydrauhc castings, and is very effective. ... Shrinkage In considering the shrinkage of cast iron it is necessary to distinguish between the contraction of the fluid mass previous to and during the act of sohdifying and the contraction of the solid mass. The first is that form of shrinkage which necessitates feeding in heavy castings, and which so often results in shrink holes or spongy places in heavy sections of castings which are not fed. West calls this contraction of the fluid mass * shrinkage. ' "The contraction of the solid mass represents more nearly what is generally called shrinkage, this term as ordinarily used meaning the difference in size between the casting and its pattern. This contraction of the solid mass West calls ' contraction. ' "... It seems necessary to make some distinction between the total amount of fluid contraction and the tendency to form shrink holes in the heavy sections of small castings. At least there seems to be no 33^ Chemical Analyses very definite relation between chemical composition and this latter property and it is often the case that an iron low in graphite and, there- fore, having a high fluid contraction, will give sounder castings than another iron high in graphite and which would, therefore, require less feeding in a large casting. . . . " "Cook has found that two irons of practically identical chemical composition may give very different results as regards soundness when poured into small castings of heavy section and the writer can confirm this fact from his own experience. A convenient test has been developed by Cook to show the tendency of any particular brand of iron to trouble of this sort. This test consists in making a casting in the shape of a K, the branches having a cross section of one inch square. On breaking off the oblique branches any tendency to sponginess or shrink holes will at once be evident in the fracture." "As before stated there has thus far been discovered no important relationship between this property and chemical composition. It rather appears to be something inherent in the brand of iron. . . . It is a curious fact that, in some instances at least, the addition of a small amoimt of steel scrap to the mixture will act as a partial corrective." "The contraction of the sohd mass does not take place uniformly as the casting cools but in stages which are separated by periods of less contraction or even of actual expansion. The total shrinkage which perhaps includes also a portion of the shrinkage in the fluid mass is conveniently obtained by Keep's test or by casting a test bar between iron yokes and determining the space between the end of the bar and the yoke after cooling." "This, however, tells nothing as to the manner of shrinkage or the temperatiu-e at which it takes place. To get this latter information we must determine the shrinkage curve, or in other words, the length of the test bar at each instant of time during cooling, starting from the instant when the bar has solidified just enough to have some slight strength. West, Keep and Turner have described forms of apparatus for making these curves. Fig. 91 shows some typical shrinkage curves and illus- trates the relationship between chemical composition and the form of these curves." "It will be noted that there are three periods of expansion separated by intervals during which the shrinkage takes place. The first of these periods of expansion is due to the separation of graphite and hence is greatest in the softest irons. Note that in the case A , which is a white iron and contains no graphite, this expansion is entirely lacking. This expansion takes place within the temperature range 2200° to 1800° F., or immediately after the iron has solidified." Shrinkage 331 "The second expansion is due to the solidification of the phosphide eutectic with a consequent secondary precipitation of graphite at that time. Evidently, this expansion is only to be expected in high phos- phorus irons and it will be noted that it is lacking in C, which is low in phosphorus, and is well marked in D, which is high in phosphorus. This expansion takes place within the temperature range 1800° to 1500° F." "The third expansion is. in the writer's opinion, due to the change of the iron from the 'alpha' to the 'gamma' form, since it takes place |20 |>P X iU ■-^--0 10 o I 40 -|o50 c "~ 60 v CD J 70 c \n xi. ^ ^M?

As previously noted, phosphorus also has the effect of lowering the melting point of cast iron but it is not nearly as powerful in its action as combined carbon. Iron containing 6.7 per cent phosphorus would melt at only 1740° F., but with less phosphorus than this the melting point rises rapidly so that the i or 2 per cent present in commercial high phos- phorus irons makes very little difference in the melting point. Fig. 92 gives in graphic form the data of Dr. Moldenke from which is drawn a line representing the approximate melting point of cast iron of any per cent combined carbon. 334 Chemical Analyses "Table I gives the melting points with analyses of some typical irons and ferroalloys selected from the above data. It will be noted that the metalloids other than carbon and phosphorus, i.e., the silicon, sulphur and manganese, seem to have very little effect on the melting point."

It is synonymous with mobihty and opposed to viscosity. It is a property of far-reaching importance to the foundryman and especially to the manufactiu^er of small and intricate castings. Unfortunately, our means of measuring fluidity are not very satisfactory, and this makes it difficult to determine quantitatively the effect of composition upon this property. About the most satisfactory method is to pour fluidity strips or long strips of perhaps one square inch section (at one end) and tapering to nothing at the other. The distance which the iron runs in a mold of this form is a rough measure of its fluidity." "The factors which govern fluidity are percentage of silicon, percent- age of phosphorus, freedom from dissolved oxide and temperature above the melting point." "Sihcon perhaps aids fluidity by causing a separation of graphite at the moment of sohdification, thus, according to Field, liberating latent Resistance to Heat 335 heat and prolonging the life of the metal. On this basis, high total carbon would also aid fluidity by increasing the amount of graphite separated," "Phosphorus is probably the most important element as regards fluidity, high phosphorus causing a marked increase in this property. The best results are obtained with about 1.5 per cent phosphorus, although for other reasons it is seldom desirable to use as much as that." "Freedom from oxide is a very important point as its presence makes the metal sluggish and causes it to set quickly. It is a frequent and often unsuspected source of trouble. Dissolved oxide may be eliminated by any of the methods described." "The temperature above the freezing point is probably the most important factor of all in connection with fluidity, and it should here be noted that a distinction is made between freezing point and melting point. The two may coincide in the case of white iron, but will not usually, especially with gray iron. This is because, as we have already seen, gray irons have a melting temperature corresponding to their per- centage of combined carbon rather than total carbon. After they are in the molten state, however, all the carbon is in solution (combined as far as melting points are concerned), hence, the freezing point will corre- spond more nearly to the melting point of a white iron having the per- centage of combined carbon equal to the total carbon of the original gray iron. This will be in general from 100° to 300° lower than its melting point. For this reason when gray irons are melted they are always considerably superheated above their solidifying points, and the greater this superheat, the more fluid the iron. Evidently, the superheat due to this cause will be the greater the lower the combined carbon in the iron going into the cupola." Practical rules for getting fluid iron are as follows: "Keep the phosphorus high, — up to i.oo to 1.25 if possible." "If the work will permit, use a soft iron of 2 per cent or over in silicon, and low in combined carbon." "Avoid oxidizing conditions in melting and, if necessary, use deoxidiz- ing agents." "Use plenty of coke and good cupola practice." Resistance to Heat "Ability to withstand high temperatures is of paramount importance in several classes of castings such as grate bars, ingot moulds, anneahng boxes, etc., and the factors which affect this ability are, the percentage of phosphorus, sulphur and combined carbon, and the density or close- ness of grain." 336 Chemical Analyses "Phosphorus forms with iron an alloy which melts at only 1740° F., or about 400° lower than cast iron free from phosphorus, and each per cent of phosphorus present gives rise to 15 per cent of this easily fusible con- stituent. Now, it will be evident that the presence of a molten con- stituent in a piece of iron must greatly weaken it, and hence it is that the presence of much phosphorus decreases the resistance of cast iron to heat." "Sulphur acts in a similar manner to phosphorus since it also forms with iron a constituent of low melting point (1780° F.). It is, therefore, detrimental to castings which have to stand high temperatures." "As previously. noted, combined carbon is the element which more than any other determines the melting point of cast iron, this melting point becoming lower with increase in this element. It would seem then, that combined carbon must be very detrimental in this class of castings. However, it should be remembered that the condition of the carbon in the solid iron changes readily at high temperatiures, and, hence, after the casting has been in use for a while its combined carbon content will not in general be the same as when cast. This fact makes the question of combined carb6n of much less practical importance than either phos- phorus or sulphur." "Density or close grain is commonly stated to render cast iron con- siderably more resistant to the effects of heat. . . . " "One feature of the effect of heat on cast iron which deserves especial mention is the permanent expansion which it imdergoes on repeated heatings. This peculiar behavior was first discovered by Outerbridge and has since been also investigated by Rugan and Carpenter." "The extent to which this growth may take place is certainly sur- prising, the increase being in some cases as high as 46 per cent by volume and 1% inches in the length of a 15-inch bar. The strength of the metal is decreased proportionately to the expansion or to about one-half of the original strength. Both the expansion and the decrease in strength are explained by microscopic examination, which shows minute cracks throughout the interior of the metal. . . ." "Two conditions are necessary for this growth. First, repeated heatings, and second, a proper composition of the metal." "With regard to the heating, a minimum temperature of 1200° F. is necessary. At 1400° to 1600° the rate of growth is more rapid and an increase in temperature beyond 1700° produces no additional effect. Both heating and cooHng are necessary to procure the growth, and the time of heating makes very little difference. No greater growth was produced by 17 hours continuous heating than by 4 hours. The num- ber of heatings required to produce the maximum amount of growth Resistance to Heat 337 varies with different irons, but usually lies somewhere between 50 and 100." "Regarding the effects of composition, it appears that the growth is favored by the presence of graphite and silicon, and also by a large grain or open structure. White iron containing no graphite expands slightly when subjected to this treatment but not sufi&ciently to overcome its original shrinkage. In this case the expansion is due to the conversion of the combined carbon into the temper form, or in other words, to the malleableizing of the casting. Soft irons low in combined carbon and high in silicon show the greatest increase in volume. The effects of sulphur, manganese and phosphorus have not been investigated. Steel and wrought iron are not subject to this growth, but on the contrary undergo a slight permanent contraction when repeatedly heated." "It is evident that this property of cast iron is of great importance in many of the applications of the metal and limits its use for many pur- poses. It is, no doubt, the reason why a close-grained iron gives better results when exposed to high temperatures and affords an explanation for the warping of grate bars, annealing boxes and similar castings. It also shows why chills and permanent molds must not be allowed to be heated to redness, such a degree of heat resulting in permanent expansion and the loss of their original dimensions." The following is a summary of some of the published statements regarding the proper composition for castings exposed to high tempera- tures: "Cast iron to withstand high temperatures should be low in phos- phorus and combined carbon." "In car wheels manganese increases the resistance to heat strain." "For refractory castings choose a fine grained cast iron, best contain- ing about 2 per cent manganese to retard the separation of amorphous carbon." "Castings to resist heat should contain about 1.80 per cent silicon, 0.03 per cent sulphur, 0.70 per cent phosphorus, 0.60 per cent%ianganese and 2.90 per cent total carbon. Low sulphur is of chief importance, low silicon, carbon and manganese are also advisable." "Close-grained cast iron having the greatest density will invariably be found best to withstand chemical influences and high temperatures," "A chill which had given excellent service had the following composi- tion: silicon, 2.07 per cent; sulphur, 0.073 per cent; phosphorus, 0.03 per cent; manganese, 0.48 per cent; combined carbon, 0.23 per cent; graphite carbon, 2.41 per cent; total carbon, 2.64 per cent. • " Two permanent moulds which had given excellent service analyzed as follows : 338 Chemical Analyses Silicon, per cent Sulphvir, per cent Phosphorus, per cent Manganese, per cent Combined carbon, per cent Graphite, per cent Total carbon, per cent 2.

Electrical Properties "Of the three electrical properties, conductivity, permeability and hysteresis, the second only is of importance in connection with cast iron.

In the case of steel it has been found that manganese is the element most injurious to this property with carbon a close second. Hence, by analogy, we may infer that to make iron castings of high conductivity we should keep both the manganese and combined carbon as low as possible. Electrical Properties 339 Permeability may be defined as magnetic conductivity and is of importance in many castings used in the construction of electrical machinery. Permeability data are generally given in the form of a curve expressing the relation between the magnetizing force H and the resulting field strength or number of lines of magnetic force per unit area B. This is known as the permeabihty curve. The permeabihty is the ratio ^ and it will be noted that it is different for each value of the B magnetizing force, H, but approaches a constant or saturation value for high values of U.

The writer has recentfy done considerable work on the relation between permeability and chemical composition of cast iron, and the resiilts, as yet unpubHshed, are summarized in Fig. 94. It will be noted that the effects of silicon, phosphorus and aluminum are not well marked and are probably not of 340 Chemical Analyses any very great importance. On the other hand, manganese has a very detrimental effect on this property. Silicon has the opposite effect from manganese in that it accelerates this change in the form of the iron, and we would, therefore, expect it to have a more or less beneficial influence. Silicon steel has achieved a wide reputation as a high permeability material for use in the construction of tran former cores, etc. According to the author's results high silicon is particularly effective in increasing B for low values oiH. An important element not considered in the diagram, Fig. 94, is carbon. For high permeability the lower the carbon the better, and excellent results are now being obtained through the use of semi-steel for electrical castings. In this connection, however, it must be remembered that manganese is undesirable and hence must be used cautiously as a deoxidizer in this class of work. Some practical rules for obtaining high permeability iron are given herewith. Keep the silicon high, best in the neighborhood of 3 per cent. Keep the manganese low, preferabl}^ below 0.5 per cent. If practicable keep the carbon low by the use of steel scrap or air fiirnace iron. Allow the castings to anneal themselves, i.e., cool completely in the sand before shaking out. Hysteresis, like conductivity, is seldom or never of importance in cast iron. The property may be defined as the loss of energy due to molecular friction when magnetic polarity is reversed. The effect of composition upon hysteresis is in general about the same as in the case of permeability. Resistance to Corrosion Although there are a great many corrosive agencies it is not practicable, because of lack of information, to treat of each separately, and so far as we know the effects of composition woiild be relatively the same for the various corroding agents. The following is a summary of most of the published information along this line: Pig iron which best resists acids contains silicon, i.o per cent; phos- phorus, 0.5 per cent; sulphur, 0.05 per cent; carbon, 3.0 per cent. Excellent results with respect to resistance to corrosion by acids were obtained through the use of a mixture of three brands of pig iron.^, B and C in the proportion, two parts of A, one part B and one part C The analysis of the pig irons is thus given: Resistance to Corrosion 341 Fracture Silicon, per cent Manganese, per cent Phosphorus, per cent Total carbon, per cent A Dark gray 3. SO I -SO .70 ■ 50 .40 •25 .20 .20 .20 3.80 3.50 3.50 B Light Gray . C Mottled. The composition of acid-resistant castings should be about as follows: Silicon, per cent Sulphur, per cent Phosphorus, per cent Manganese, per cent Total carbon, per cent .8 to 2.0 .02 to .03 .40 to .60 I to 2.0 3.0 to 3.5 and in addition, the metal should be as free as possible from oxide. Cast iron to withstand the corrosive action of molten chemicals should be close grained and dense. The iron having the greatest den- sity will invariably be found to best withstand chemical influences and high temperatures. The addition of deoxidizing agents is of great benefit. Gray iron is attacked by acids about three times as fast as white iron. In cases where it is not practicable to use white iron castings it is some- times possible to cast against chills in such a manner as to form a white iron surface to resist corrosion and still leave the body of the casting gray. In a series of tests on the acid-resisting properties of some well-known EngHsh brands of iron, the No. i iron, presumably high in silicon, and the "hematite," low in phosphorus and probably high in siUcon, gave the best results. Ferrosilicons with high percentages of silicon, 20 per cent and over, are remarkably resistant to the effects of acids and are being made into vessels for use in the chemical industries. Sulphur has been found to be a source of corrosion in steel in some instances, causing pitting at points where manganese sulphide has segregated. It has been shown that the presence of small amounts of copper in steel and puddled iron diminish their tendency to rust. Some practical rules for obtaining castings resistant to corrosion are as follows : Use white iron if practicable. 342 Chemical Analyses If not practicable to use white iron casting, chill those surfaces which are to be in contact with the corrosive substances. If gray iron must be used get dense, close-grained castings through the use of steel scrap or otherwise. Avoid oxidized metal, use good cupola practice and good pig irons. If possible use deoxidizing agents. Keep the sulphur just as low as possible. Resistance to Wear We must first make some distinction between two cases of wear typified by a grinding roll and a brake shoe. The first case may be dismissed by the simple statement that the greater the hardness the better the wear, providing at the same time that the iron is sufficiently strong. In the second case, however, it is necessary that the casting should not be so hard as to unduly wear the material with which it comes in contact. For example, the brake shoe must be softer than the tread of the car wheel. There is no theory to guide us in the matter and the rules given are the results of experiment chiefly with brake shoes. Too much silicon gives an open, soft iron which does not wear well. The best results are obtained with silicon about iH per cent in castings of medium thickness. Sulphur is claimed by many to be advantageous in castings for fric- tional wear because it closes the grain and hardens somewhat. Diller records a peculiar occurrence of a hard spot which could not be machined, a smooth surface being formed which wore the drill although it could be dented with a center punch. Analysis showed 0.20 per cent sulphur and 0.50 per cent combined carbon. Phosphorus is best kept moderately low. Most specifications call for 0.75 per cent or under. It is injurious probably because it weakens the iron at the high temperature sometimes produced by friction. Manganese is best kept moderately high to take care of the sulphur. Most brake shoe specifications call for under 0.70 per cent. The addition of steel scrap to the mixture has been found to give excellent results for this class of work, probably owing to the reduction in the total carbon and to its action in closing the grain. Coefficient of Friction There are no data as to the relation between the composition of cast iron and its coefficient of friction. Since graphite is an excellent lubri- cant it is probable that the percentage of graphite is the controlling factor here, the friction decreasing with increase in this element. From Casting Properties 343 theoretical considerations we should expect the best results to be obtained with a very soft iron low in sulphur, manganese and combined carbon and high in graphite. Casting Properties The properties which remain to be considered pertain more par- ticularly to the casting as a whole and are chiefly influenced by the design, moulding and pouring of the casting, and to a very much less extent, by the composition of the metal. Unsoundness due to the presence of blow-holes and shrinkage cavities, while usually resulting from bad practice in moulding may also be caused by poor quality of metal. Blowholes may be caused by oxidized metal or by excessive sulphur. . . . When caused by sulphur the remedy is to decrease this element. Raising the manganese is often effective in preventing blowholes since it acts both as a deoxidizer and desulphurizer. Scott states that manganese below 0.25 per cent often results in blow- holes. High phosphorus sometimes acts as a corrective of blowholes due to its prolonging the fluidity, thus giving the iron more chance to release the dissolved gases. Dirty castings are also caused chiefly by poor moulding, pouring or cupola practice. Occasionally, however, it may result from wrong composition of the metal, and the points chiefly to be watched are to keep the sulphur low; to avoid kish or segregated graphite and to avoid oxidized metal. Sulphur tends to cause dirty castings because it makes the iron congeal more quickly, and hence any dirt present has less chancy to separate. In addition, the sulphides of iron and manganese themselves form dirt spots when segregated. Kish is usually caused by too much silicon, or sometimes by too much total carbon. Oxidized metal is a prolific source of dirty castings, but the oxidization is usually due to bad cupola practice, or to the use of oxidized scrap. Moderately high manganese and phos- phorus are conducive to clean castings, the first because it takes care of sulphur and oxidation, and the second because it increases the fluidity of the metal and thus gives the dirt a better chance to float out. Porosity is usually caused by the presence of kish (see preceding paragraph). Pinholes, another form of porosity, are usually due to excessive sulphiir in the form of iron sulphide. This compound retains gases in solution until the metal is partially frozen and then releases them in the form of tiny bubbles which give rise to this defect. Decrease in sulphur or increase in manganese or both is the remedy. Segregation proper is caused by the difference in melting point and specific gravity of the several constituents of cast iron. The constit- 344 Chemical Analyses uents of lowest melting point are the phosphorus and sulphur compounds, and it is, therefore, in these cases that we find the greatest tendency towards segregation. It is not unusual to find hard spots in heavy castings high in phosphorus which are caused by the phosphide being squeezed out into blow-holes formed during solidification. Frequently the phosphide does not completely fill the cavity, or fills it as a loose globule. The sulphides, owing to their low specific gravity, usually segregate in the top of the casting and it is not infrequent to find sev- eral times the normal amount of sulphur in the upper part of heavy castings. Manganese sulphide segregates more readily than iron sul- phide. Besides segregation proper we sometimes find cases of non-homo- geneity due to other causes. Occasionally spots of white iron are found in the interior of castings. It has always been difficult to account for these but the clew is given by the fact that they are invariably found in castings poured from the first metal tapped. Undoiibtedly they are caused by the iron boiling on the sand bed and are connected in some way with the partial Bessemerizing of the metal. Again, hard spots in castings are sometimes due to small pieces of metal (for example, small steel scrap and shot iron) being incompletely melted in their passage through the cupola. Ferromanganese and other ferro- alloys may give rise to this same trouble through incomplete solution when stirred into the ladle. Shrinkage strains are caused primarily by wrongly designed castings, but the trouble may be aggravated by the composition of the metal. High sulphur is a particularly prolific source of internal stresses, and, in general, the greater the total shrinkage, the greater the strains due to this cause. As all foundrymen know, the fineness of finish and smoothness of skin of a casting depend chiefly on the sands and facings used and the skill of the moulder. High phosphorus in the iron, however, is a consider- able aid in getting the fine skin desired in ornamental work. Another element affecting the skin is manganese which has the rather peculiar action of causing the sand to peel from the castings with extreme readi- ness. With I per cent manganese this tendency is evident and with 2 per cent it is very marked. Bars, plates and hollow castings were treated, which were permitted to cool in the moulds. The plates cooled more slowly than the bar samples and the material proved somewhat softer, giving smaller values for the bending, tensile and compressive strength, but was better as regards flexure and strength to resist impact. Tests reported to the Iron and Steel Institute showed : Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron 345 The best tensile and* transverse tests are obtained from bars which have been machined. Transverse test bars cast on edge and tested with the "fin" in com- pression give the best results. The transverse test is not so reliable or helpful as that of the moment of resistance. Cast iron gives the best results when poured as hot as possible. As in some measure explanatory of the conflicting results obtained in testing bars of precisely the same chemical combination, and as showing the importance of microscopical examinations of the structure of cast iron in pointing out the causes of difference in its physical properties, the paper of Mr. Percy Longmuir published in the Journal of the American Foundrjrmen's Association, June, 1903 is given in full. Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron By Percy Longmuir, Sheffield, England Journal of the American Foundrymen's Association, Vol. XII, June, IQ03. Instances are occasionally found where metal of the right chemical composition goes wrong in practice. It is in cases of this kind that the real value of microscopical examination is most evident, for very often such an examination will locate the trouble and at the same time suggest a remedy. Naturally an examination of diseased samples can only be undertaken after a thorough study of healthy ones, hence a foundation for the study of abnormal samples must necessarily be based on the knowledge gained from a wide series of normal ones, that is, samples of known chemical composition and known physical conditions. The structoare of cast iron is very complex — far more so than that of steel — a fact readily shown by the high content of elements present other than iron. By polishing and etching a sample of cast iron, several of the compounds of the elements with iron are, under suitable magni- fication, rendered visible. The structural features, such as the arrange- ment and distribution of the various compounds and their relationship to each other, can then be readily noted and the effect of this combination on the mass then becomes an estimable quantity. If the metal under examination contain no impurities it is evident that its mass will be built up of pure crystals. A section cut from such a pure metal will, after polishing and etching, show only the crystal junctions. Crystal junctions of this type are shown in Fig. 95 , which represents the structure of almost pure iron. Even here, although the metal is so pure, the very minute trace of carbon present can be readily detected in the dark knots of which about a dozen are to be seen. As foreign elements 346 Chemical Analyses are added to pure iron the structure becomes more complex and a point is reached when all the pure crystals are replaced by more complex ones. It is to be remembered that all gray irons contain appreciable amounts of two varieties of carbon, silicon, manganese, sulphur and phosphorus. =13 — Magnified 360 diameters 0.03 0.02 0.07 Sulphur Phosphorus Iron 99 01 01 86 Fig. 95. Carbon Silicon Manganese Of these elements graphite is present in its elementary form, that is, as free carbon. The remaining constituents are present in compound form associated either with iron or with other elements. Thus sulphur may occur as sulphide of manganese or as iron sulphide.

Phos- phorus is associated with iron as a definite phosphide. These compounds are all distinguishable under suitable magnification, but the association of silicon and iron is, so far as present knowledge goes, unrecognizable. Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron 347 Microscopically these constituents have received other names — for instance pare iron is known as "ferrite," hence a structure similar to that of Fig. 96 consists almost entirely of ferrite. Combined carbon receives the term "cementite" and a mixture of cementite and ferrite Fig. 97. — Magnified 460 diameters. Fig. 98. — Magnified 360 diameters. is known as "pearlite." Pearlite often consists of alternate striae of cementite and ferrite and in such a form gives a magnificent play of colors resembling those of mother-of-pearl, consequently this constituent was named by its discoverer, Dr. Sorby, the "pearly constituent," a term now contracted to "pearhte." ' Fig. 99. — Magnified 50 diameters. Combined Carbon 3 . 25 Sulphur 0.41 Silicon 0.78 Phosphorus 0.06 Manganese o . 09 The classical researches of Professor Arnold have conclusively shown that iron containing 0.89 per cent carbon consists entirely of pearlite. As the content of carbon increases above 0.89 per cent, structurally free cementite appears increasing in quantity with each increment of carbon. It therefore follows that a white cast iron will consist essentially of 34^ Chemical Analyses cementite and pearlite. In the majority of gray irons used in the found- ries the conibined carbon is well below 0.89 per cent — cementite is, therefore, only present as a constituent of pearlite. Sulphide globules when in the form of manganese sulphide show a light gray color, while iron sulphide shows a hght brown tint. In high sulphur irons the sulphide tends to envelop the crystals; a section cut from such an iron would show a network of sulphide following the crystal junctions and destroying their continuity. These siilphides have been thoroughly investigated by Professor Arnold whose researches have thrown much light on the behaviour of both iron and manganese sulphide. The relations of iron and phosphorus have been very thoroughly studied by Mr. J. E. Stead. In September, 1900, Mr. Stead presented Fig. 100. — Magnified 50 diameters. Combined Carbon 0.82 Manganese 0.09 Graphite 2.07 Sulphur 0.37 Sihcon 0.75 Phosphorus 0.07 before the Iron and Steel Institute a most exhaustive research on this subject. With ordinary pig irons the phosphide of iron appears to be rejected to a eutectic of uncertain composition. Eutectic may for our purpose be defined as that portion last to sohdify. This phosphide eutectic may be readily distinguished in all gray irons by an ordinary etching medium, but in white irons containing structurally free cementite, Mr. Stead's "heat tinting" process becomes necessary to distinguish the eutectic from the cementite. Fig. 96 reproduces a photo-microscope of an unetched section of gray iron at a magnification of 60 diameters. This magnification gives, as it were, a general view only — to get at the ultimate structure higher powers must be used. Fig. 97 represents the structure of an ordinary gray iron magnified 460 diameters. The larger Notes on the Micro-structure of Cast Iron 349 portion of this field consists of pearlite embedded in which are irregular areas of the phosphide eutectic and several notable black plates of graphite. The phosphide eutectic is recognizable by its irregular shape and broken up structure; an area in the center of the photograph enclos- ing an area of pearlite is worthy of notice. Fig. 98 reproduces an area of phosphide eutectic from the same section as Fig. 96. A typical white cast iron consisting essentially of pearlite and cementite is shown in Fig. 99. This is a type of iron used as a base for the production of malleable cast iron. The influences of annealing are shown in Fig. 100, which represents the same iron as Fig. 99, after going through the ordinary malleable iron Fig. ioi. — Magnified 60 diameters. annealing in ore. This section consists essentially of pearlite and graphite — the analyses appended to each figure showing the change in carbon condition. For the loan of the negatives illustrating Figs. 99 and 100, the writer is indebted to the courtesy of Mr. T. Baker, B. Sc. Quite apart from the clear light thrown on what has been aptly termed the internal architecture of a metal, microscopical examination reveals many other features of profitable interest, one notable feature being the examination of minute flaws. Space will not permit of many illustra- tions under this head, but Fig. loi, reproduced from a photo-nlicrograph of a pin-hole in the same section as Fig. 96, will show the range of possi- bility in this direction. Obviously, a study of flaws of this character offers much to the founder producing castings which have to meet a hydraulic or high steam pressure test. CHAPTER XIV Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Car Wheels Chemical Properties The wheels furnished under this specification must be made from the best materials and in accordance with the best foundry methods. The following pattern analysis is given for information, as representing the chemical properties of a good cast iron wheel. Successful wheels, varying in some of the constituents quite considerably from the figures given, may be made: Analysis Per cent Analysis Per cent Total carbon 3.50 2.90 .60 .70 Manganese Phosphorus Sulphur 40 Graphitic carbon .50 08 Silicon .... 1. Wheels will be inspected and tested at the place of manufacture. 2. All wheels must conform in general design and in measurements to drawings which will be furnished, and any departure from the stand- ard drawing must be by special permission in writing. Manufacturers wishing to deviate from the standard dimensions must submit duplicate drawings showing the proposed changes, which must be approved. Drop Tests 3. The following table gives data as to weight and tests of various kinds of wheels for different kinds of cars and service: Wheel 33-inch diameter freight and pas- senger cars 36-inch diameter Kind of service ...\ 60,000 lbs. capacity and less I 600 70,000 lbs. capacity 2 650 100,000 lbs. capacity 3 700 Passenger cars 4 700 lbs.

Number of blows . . . 9 10 12 10 12 12 12 12 12 14 350 Material and Chill ^ 351 Marking 4. Each wheel must have plainly cast on the outside plate the name of the maker and place of manufacture. Each wheel must also have cast on the inside double plate the date of casting and a serial foundry number. The manufacturer must also provide for the guarantee mark, if so required by the contract. No wheel bearing a dupUcate number, or a number which has once been passed upon, will be considered. Num- bers of wheels once rejected will remain unfilled. No wheel bearing an indistinct number or date, or any evidence of an altered or defaced number will be considered. Measures 5. All wheels offered for inspection must have been measured with a standard tape measure and must have the shrinkage number stenciled in plain figures on the inside of the wheel. The standard tape measure must correspond in form and construction to the "Wheel Circumference Measure" established by the Master Car Builders' Association in 1900. The nomenclature of that measure need not, however, be followed, it being suflQcient if the graduating marks indicating tape sizes are one- eighth of an inch apart. Any convenient method of showing the shrink- age or stencil number may be employed. Experience shows that standard tape measures elongate a little with use, and it is essential to have them frequently compared and rectified. When ready for inspec- tion, the wheels must be arranged in rows according to shrinkage numbers, all wheels of the same date being grouped together. Wheels bearing dates more than thirty days prior to the date of inspection will not be accepted for test, except by permission. For any single inspection and test, only wheels having three consecutive shrinkage or stencil numbers will be considered. The manufacturer will, of course, decide what three shrinkage or stencil numbers he will submit in any given lot of 103 wheels offered, and the same three shrinkage or stencil numbers need not be offered each time. Finish 6. The body of the wheels must be smooth and free from slag and blowholes, and the hubs must be solid. Wheels will not be rejected because of drawing around the center core. The tread and throat of the wheels must be smooth, free from deep and irregular wrinkles, slag, sand wash, chill cracks or swollen rims, and be free from any evidence of hollow rims, and the throat and tread must be practically free from sweat. Material and Chill 7. Wheels tested must show soft, clean, gray iron, free from defects, such as holes containing slag or dirt more than one-quarter of an inch in 352 Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Car Wheels diameter, or clusters of such holes, honeycombing of iron in the hub, white iron in the plates or hub, or clear white iron around the anchors of chaplets at a greater distance than one-haK of an inch in any direction. The depth of the clear white iron must not exceed seven-eighths of an inch at the throat and one inch at the middle of the tread, nor must it be less than three-eighths of an inch at the throat or any part of the tread. The blending of the white hon with the gray iron behind must be without any distinct line of demarcation, and the iron must not have a mottled appearance in any part of the wheel at a greater distance than one and five-eighths inches from the tread or throat. The depth of chill will be determined by inspection of the three test wheels described below, all test wheels being broken for this purpose, if necessary. If one only of the three test wheels fails in limits of chill, all the lot under test of the same shrinkage or stencil number will be rejected and the test will be regarded as finished so far as this lot of 103 wheels is concerned. The manufacturer may, however, offer the wheels of the other two shrinkage or stencil numbers, provided they are acceptable in other respects as constituents of another 103 wheels for a subsequent test. If two of the three test wheels fail in limits of chill, the wheels in the lot of 103 of the same shrinkage or stencil number as these two wheels will be rejected, and, as before, the test will be regarded as finished as far as this lot of 103 wheels is concerned. The manufacturer may, however, offer the wheels of the third shrinkage or stencil number, provided they are acceptable in other respects, as constituents of another 103 wheels for a subsequent test. If all three test wheels fail in limits of chill, of course the whole hundred will be rejected. Inspection and Shipping 8. The manufacturer must notify when he is ready to ship not less than 100 wheels; must await the arrival of the inspector; must have a car, or cars, ready to be loaded with wheels, and must furnish facilities and labor to enable the Inspector to inspect, test, load and ship the wheels promptly. Wheels offered for inspection must not be covered with any substance which will hide defects. 9. One himdred or more wheels being ready for test, the inspector will make a list of the wheel numbers, at the same time examining each wheel for defects. Any wheels which fail to conform to specifications by reason of defects must be laid aside, and such wheels will not be accepted for shipment. As individual wheels are rejected, others of the proper shrinkage or stencil number may be offered to keep the number good. Thermal Test 353 Retaping 10. The inspector will retape not less than 10 per cent of the wheels offered for test, and if he finds any showing wrong tape-marking, he will tape the whole lot and require them to be restenciled, at the same time ha\dng the old stencil marks obliterated. He will weigh and make check measurements of at least 10 per cent of the wheels offered for test, and if any of these wheels fail to conform to the specification, he will weigh and measure the whole lot, refusing to accept for shipment any wheels which fail in these respects. Drop Tests 11. Experience indicates that wheels with higher shrinkage or lower stencil numbers are more apt to fail on thermal test; more apt to fail on drop test and more apt to exceed the maximum allowable chill than those with higher stencil or lower shrinkage numbers; while, on the other hand, wheels with higher stencil or lower shrinkage mmibers are more apt to be deficient in chill. For each 103 wheels apparently acceptable, the inspector will select three wheels for test — one from each of the three shrinkage or stencil numbers offered. One of these wheels chosen for this purpose by the inspector must be tested by drop test as follows: The wheel must be placed flange downward in an anvil block weighing not less than 1700 pounds, set on rubble masonry two feet deep and having three supports not more than five inches wide for the flange of the wheel to rest on. It must be struck centrally upon the hub by a weight of 200 pounds, falhng from a height as shown in the table on page 350. The end of the falling weight must be flat, so as to strike fairly on the hub, and when by wear the bottom of the weight assumes a roimd or conical form, it must be replaced. The machine for making this test is shown on drawings which will be furnished. Should the wheel stand, without breaking in two or more pieces, the niraiber of blows shown in the above table, the one hundred wheels represented by it wiU be considered satisfactory as to this test. . Should it fail, the whole hundred will be rejected. Thermal Test 12. The other two test wheels must be tested as follows: The wheels must be laid flange down in the sand, and a channel way one and one-half inches in width at the center of the tread and four inches deep must be molded with green sand around the wheel. The clean tread of the wheel must form one side of this channel way, and the clean flange must form as much of the bottom as its width will cover. The channel way must 354 Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Car Wheels then be filled to the top from one ladle with molten cast iron, which must be poured directly into the channel way without previous cooling or stirring, and this iron must be so hot, when poured, that the ring which is formed when the metal is cold shall be sohd or free from wrinkles or layers. Iron at this temperature will usually cut a hole at the point of impact with the flange. In order to avoid spitting during the pouring, the tread and inside of the flange during the thermal test should be covered with a coat of shellac; wheels which are wet or which have been exposed to snow or frost may be warmed sufficiently to dry them or remove the frost before testing, but under no circumstances must the thermal test be applied to a wheel that in any part feels warm to the hand. The time when pouring ceases must be noted, and two minutes later an examination of the wheel under test must be made. If the wheel is found broken in pieces, or if any crack in the plates extends through or into the tread, the test wheel will be regarded as having failed. If both wheels stand, the whole hundred will be accepted as to this test. If both fail, the whole hundred will be rejected. If one only of the ther- mal test wheels fails, all of the lot under test of the same shrinkage or stencil number will be rejected, and the test will be regarded as finished, so far as this lot of wheels is concerned. The manufacturer may, however, offer the wheels of the other two shrinkage or stencil numbers, provided they are acceptable in other respects, as constituents of another 103 wheels for a subsequent test. Storing and Shipping 13. All wheels which pass inspection and test will be regarded as accepted, and may be either shipped or stored for future shipment, as arranged. It is desired that shipments should be, as far as possible, in lots of 100 wheels. In all cases the inspector must witness the shipment, and he must give, in his report, the numbers of all wheels inspected and the disposition made of them. Rejections 14. Individual wheels will be considered to have failed and will not be accepted or further considered, which. First. Do not conform to standard design and measurement. Second. Are under or over weight. Third. Have the physical defects described in Section 6. 15. Each 103 wheels submitted for test will be considered to have failed and will not be accepted or considered further, if. First. The test wheels do not conform to Section 7, especially as to limits of white iron in the throat and tread and around chaplets. Standard Specifications for Locomotive Cylinders 355 Second. One of the test wheels does not stand the drop test as de- scribed in Section 11. Third. Both of the two test wheels do not stand the thermal test as described in Section 12. Standard Specifications for Locomotive Cylinders Process of Manufacture Locomotive cylinders shall be made from a good quality of close-grained gray iron cast in a dry sand mould. Chemical Properties Drillings taken from test pieces cast as hereafter mentioned shall conforrn to the following limits in chemical composition: Silicon from 1.25 to 1.75 per cent Phosphorus not over o . 90 per cent Sulphur not over o. 10 per cent Physical Properties The minimum physical qualities for cylinder iron shall be as follows: The "Arbitration Test Bar," iH inches in diameter, with supports 12 inches apart, shall have a transverse strength not less than 3000 pounds, centrally appUed, and a deflection not less than o.io of an inch. Test Pieces and Method of Testing The standard test-bar shall be iH inches in diameter, about 14 inches long, cast on end in dry sand. The drillings for analysis shall be taken from this test piece, but in case of rejection the manufacturer shall have the option of analyzing drilhngs from the bore of the cylinder, upon which analysis the acceptance or rejection of the cylinder shall be based. One test piece for each cylinder shall be required. Character of Castings Castings shall be smooth, well cleaned, free from blow-holes, shrinkage cracks or other defects, and must finish to blue-print size. Each cyhnder shall have cast on each side of saddle, the manufacturer's mark, serial number, date made and mark showing order number. Inspector The inspector representing the purchaser shall have all reasonable facihties afforded to him by the manufacturer to satisfy himself that the finished material is furnished in accordance with these specifications. All tests and inspections shall be made at the place of the manufacturer. 356 Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Pipe Standard Specifications for Cast-Iron Pipe and Special Castings Description of Pipes The pipes shall be made with hub and spigot joints, and shall accurately conform to the dimensions given in tablss Nos. I and II. They shall be straight and shall be true circles in section, with their inner and outer surfaces concentric, and shall be of the specified dimensions in outside diameter. They shall be at least 12 feet in length, exclusive of socket. For pipes of each size from 4-inch to 24-inch, inclusive, there shall be two standards of outside diameter, and for pipes from 30-inch to 60-inch, inclusive, there shall be four standards of outside diameter, as shown by table No. II. All pipes having the same outside diameter shall have the same inside diameter at both ends. The inside diameter of the lighter pipes of each standard outside diameter shall be gradually increased for a distance of about 6 inches from each end of the pipe so as to obtain the required standard thickness and weight for each size and class of pipe. Pipes whose standard thickness and weight are intermediate between the classes in table No. II shall be made of the same outside diameter as the next heavier class. Pipes whose standard thickness and weight are less than shown by table No. II shall be made of the same outside diam- eter as the class A pipes, and pipes whose thickness and weight are more than shown by table No. II shall be made of the same outside diameter as the class D pipes. For 4-inch to 12-inch pipes, inclusive, one class of special castings shall be furnished, made from class D pattern. Those having spigot ends shall have outside diameters of spigot ends midway between the two standards of outside diameters as shown by table No. II, and shall be tapered back for a distance of 6 inches. For 14-inch to 24-inch pipes, inclusive, two classes of special castings shall be furnished, class B spe- cial castings with classes A and B pipes, and class D special castings with classes C and D pipes, the former to be stamped "AB" and the latter to be stamped "CD." For 30-inch to 60-inch pipes, inclusive, four classes of special castings shall be furnished, one for each class of pipe, and shall be stamped with the letter of the class to which they belong. Allowable Variation in Diameter of Pipes and Sockets Especial care shall be taken to have the sockets of the required size. The sockets and spigots will be tested by circular gauges, and no pipe will be received which is defective in joint room from any cause. The diam- eters of the sockets and the outside diameters of the bead ends of the Special Castings 357 pipes shall not vary from the standard dimensions by more than 0.06 of an inch for pipes 16 inches or less in diameter; 0.08 of an inch for 18-inch, 20-inch and 24-inch pipes; o.io of an inch for 30-inch, 36-inch and 42-inch pipes; 0.12 of an inch for 48-inch, and 0.15 of an inch for 54-inch and 60-inch pipes. Allowable Variation in Thickness For pipes whose standard thickness is less than i inch, the thickness of metal in the body of the pipe shall not be more than 0.08 of an inch less than the standard thickness, and for pipes whose standard thickness is I inch or more, the variation shall not exceed o.io of an inch, except that for spaces not exceeding 8 inches in length in any direction, variations from the standard thickness of 0.02 of an inch in excess of the allowance above given shall be permitted. For special castings of standard patterns a variation of 50 per cent greater than allowed for straight pipe shall be permitted. Defective Spigots may he Cut Defective spigot ends on pipes 12 inches or more in diameter may be cut off in a lathe and a half-round wrought-iron band shrunk into a groove cut in the end of the pipe. Not more than 1 2 per cent of the total number of accepted pipes of each size shall be cut and banded, and no pipe shall be banded which is less than 11 feet in length, exclusive of the socket. In case the length of a pipe differs from 12 feet, the standard weight of the pipe given in table No. II shall be modified in accordance therewith. Special Castings All special castings shall be made in accordance with the cuts and the dimensions given in the table forming a part of these specifications. The diameters of the sockets and the external diameters of the bead ends of the special castings shall not vary from the standard dimensions by more than 0.12 of an inch for castings 16 inches or less in diameter; 0.15 of an inch for 18-inch, 20-Inch and 24-inch castings; 0.20 of an inch for 30-inch, 36-inch and 42-inch castings; and 0.24 of an inch for 48- inch, 54-inch and 60-inch castings. These variations apply only to special castings made from standard patterns. The flanges on all manhole castings and manhole covers shall be faced true and smooth, and drilled to receive bolts of the sizes given in the tables. The manufacturer shall furnish and deUver all bolts for bolting on the manhole covers, the bolts to be of the sizes shown on plans and made of the best quality of mild steel, with hexagonal heads and nuts and sound, well-fitting threads. 3S8 Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Pipe Table No. I. — General Dimensions or Pipes K PipelZ'-O" '>i Fig. I02.

When cast especially to order, each pipe and special casting larger than 4-inch may also have cast upon it figures showing the year in which it was cast and a number signifying the order in point of time in which it was cast, the figures denoting the year being above and the number below, thus: 1901 1901 1901 I 2 3 etc., also any initials, not exceeding four, which may be required by the purchaser. The letters and figures shall be cast on the outside and shall be not less than 2 inches in length and % of an inch in relief for pipes 8 inches in diameter and larger. For smaller sizes of pipes the letters may be i inch in length. The weight and the class letter shall be con- spicuously painted in white on the inside of each pipe and special casting after the coating has become hard. Allowable Percentage of Variation in Weight No pipe shall be accepted the weight of which shall be less than the standard weight by more than 5 per cent for pipes 16 inches or less in diameter, and 4 per cent for pipes more than 16 inches in diameter, and no excess above the standard weight of more than the given percentages for the several sizes shall be paid for. The total weight to be paid for shall not exceed, for each size and class of pipe received, the sum of the standard weights of the same number of pieces of the given size and class by more than 2 per cent. No special casting shall be accepted the weight of which shall be less than the standard weight by more than 10 per cent for pipes 12 inches or less in diameter, and 8 per cent for larger sizes, except that curves, Y pieces and breeches pipe may be 12 per cent below the standard weight, and no excess above the standard weight of more than the above per- centages for the several sizes will be paid for. These variations apply only to castings made from the standard patterns. Quality of Iron All pipes and special castings shall be made of cast iron of good quality and of such character as shall make the metal of the castings strong, tough and of even grain, and soft enough to satisfactorily admit of drilling and cutting. The metal shall be made without any admixtiu"e of cinder iron or other inferior metal, and shall be remelted in a cupola or air furnace. Coating 361 Tests of Material Specimen bars of the metal used, each being 26 inches long by 2 inches wide and i inch thick, shall be made without charge as often as the engineer may direct, and, in default of definite instructions, the con- tractor shall make and test at least one bar from each heat or run of metal. The bars, when placed flatwise upon supports 24 inches apart and loaded in the center, shall for pipes 12 inches or less in diameter support a load of 1900 pounds and show a deflection of not less than 0.30 of an inch before breaking, and for pipes of sizes larger than 12 inches shall support a load of 2000 pounds and show a deflection of not less than 0.32 of an inch. The contractor shall have the right to make and break three bars from each heat or run of metal, and the test shall be based upon the average results of the three bars. Should the dimensions of the bars differ from those above given, a proper allowance therefor shall be made in the results of the tests. Casting of Pipes The straight pipes shall be cast in dry sand moulds in a vertical position. Pipes 16 inches or less in diameter shall be cast with the hub end up or down, as specified in the proposal. Pipes 18 inches or more in diameter shall be cast with the hub end down. The pipes shall not be stripped or taken from the pit while showing color of heat, but shall be left in the flasks for a sufficient length of time to prevent unequal contraction by subsequent exposure. Quality of Castings The pipes and special castings shall be smooth, free from scales, lumps, blisters, sand holes and defects of every nature which unfit them for the use for which they are intended. No plugging or filUng will be allowed. Cleaning and Inspection All pipes and special castings shall be thoroughly cleaned and sub- jected to a careful hammer inspection. No casting shall be coated unless entirely clean and free from rust, and approved in these respects by the engineer immediately before being dipped. Coating Every pipe and special casting shall be coated inside and out with coal- tar pitch varnish. The varnish shall be made from coal tar. To this material sufiicient oil may be added to make a smooth coating, tough and tenacious when cold, and not brittle nor with any tendency to scale off. Each casting shall be heated to a temperature of 300° F., immediately before it is dipped, and shall possess not less than this temperature at the 362 Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Pipe time it is put in the vat. The ovens in which the pipes are heated shall be so arranged that all portions of the pipe shall be heated to an even temperature. Each casting shall remain in the bath at least five minutes. The varnish shall be heated to a temperature of 300° F. (or less if the engineer shall so order), and shall be maintained at this temperature during the time the casting is immersed. Fresh pitch and oil shall be added when necessary to keep the mixture at the proper consistency, and the vat shall be emptied of its contents and refilled with fresh pitch when deemed, necessary by the engineer. After being coated the pipes shall be carefully drained of the surplus varnish. Any pipe or special casting that is to be recoated shall first be thoroughly scraped and cleaned. Hydrostatic Test When the coating has become hard, the straight pipes shall be sub- jected to a proof by hydrostatic pressure, and, if required by the engineer, they shall also be subjected to a hammer test under this pressure. The pressures to which the different sizes and classes of pipes shall be subjected are as follows: Classes 20-inch diam- eter and larger, pounds per square inch Less than 20-inch diam- eter, pounds per square inch Class A pipe Class B pipe Class C pipe Class Dpipe ISO 200 250 300 300 300 300 300 Weighing The pipes and special castings shall be weighed for payment under the supervision of the engineer after the application of the coal-tar pitch varnish. If desired by the engineer, the pipes and special castings shall be weighed after their delivery and the weights so ascertained shall be used in the final settlement, provided such weighing is done by a legalized weighmaster. Bids shall be submitted and a final settlement made upon the basis of a ton of 2000 pounds. Contractor to Furnish Men and Materials The contractor shall provide all tools, testing machines, materials and men necessary for the required testing, inspection and weighing at the foundry, of the pipes and special castings; and, should the purchaser have Engineer or Inspector 363 no inspector at the works, the contractor shall, if required by the engineer, furnish a sworn statement that all of the tests have been made as specified, this statement to contain the results of the tests upon the test bars. Power of Engineer to Inspect The engineer shall be at Uberty at all times to inspect the material at the foundry, and the moulding, casting and coating of the pipes and special castings. The forms, sizes, uniformity and conditions of all pipes and other castings herein referred to shall be subject to his inspection and approval, and he may reject, without proving, any pipes or other casting which is not in conformity with the specifications or drawings. Inspector to Report The inspector at the foundry shall report daily to the foundry office all pipes and special castings rejected, with the causes for rejection. Castings to he Delivered Sound and Perfect All the pipes and other castings must be delivered in all respects sound and conformable to these specifications. The inspection shall not reheve the contractor of any of his obligations in this respect, and any defective pipe or other castings which may have passed the engineer at the works or elsewhere shall be at all times liable to rejection when discovered imtil the final completion and adjustment of the contract, provided, however, that the contractor shall not be held liable for pipes or special castings found to be cracked after they have been accepted at the agreed point of dehvery. Care shall be taken in handUng the pipes not to injure the coating, and no pipes or other material of any kind shall be placed in the pipes during transportation or at any time after they receive the coating. Definition of the Word ^^ Engineer" Wherever the word "engineer" is used herein it shall be understood to refer to the engineer or inspector acting for the purchaser and to his properly authorized agents, limited by the particular duties intrusted to them. 364 Standard Specifications for Cast Iron Pipe Volume and Weight of Piled, Bell and Spigot Cast Iron Pipe Size of Head Thick- Weight No. of pipes in Cubic feet in No. of Pounds Cubic pipe, in ness of of one one ton one ton pipes in of pipe feet in inches feet metal, inches pipe in pounds of 2240 pounds of 2240 pounds 40 cubic feet in 40 cubic feet one pipe 3 100 -.38 167 I3^4l 21.414 24.935 4164. 121 1.604 3 200 .42 18S 12.

Test bars have shown, that of two irons, precisely the same in their chemical constituents, one may exceed the other in tensile strength by as much as 50 per cent. No satisfactory explanation of the discrepancy has been made. Various suggestions, attributing the cause to the ores, changes of temperature in the furnace, to difference in cooling, etc., are offered, but the problem is still unsolved. Whatever may be the cause of these differences, the foundryman needs some means of quickly detecting and correcting them. He should have prompt information as to shrinkage, softness and strength of his castings. During 1885, Mr. Keep made the important discovery that the shrink- age of test bars varied inversely as the siUcon content, and that by measurement of shrinkage the silicon is practically determined. His investigations resulted in pointing out the intimate relations which exist between shrinkage and the other properties of cast iron, both chemical and physical. Mr. Keep's conclusions as to the importance of mechanical analysis are summarized as follows: The physical properties of the casting are not wholly dependent upon its chemical composition. Mechanical analysis measures the physical properties of the iron, which are, shrinkage, strength, deflection, set and depth of chill. The measure of these properties shows the combined influence of each element in the chemical composition, and in addition thereto, it shows the in- fluence of fuel and every varying condition attending melting. These influences, particularly that of sulphur, are counteracted by the use of silicon. The measurement of shrinkage tells whether more or less silicon is needed to bring the quality of the casting to an accepted standard of excellence. 371 372 Mechanical Analysis Instead of calculating the chemical composition and predicting the physical properties, mechanical analysis ascertains the physical proper- ties first, and determines from the shrinkage whether more or less silicon is required to produce castings of a given standard. Measurement of shrinkage is made quickly at a nominal cost and alone gives all necessary information. It teUs the founder exactly what physical properties his castings have and exactly what to do to bring each of those properties to standard. By this method a founder can determine whether a low-priced iron is suitable for his use. Having fixed upon a standard, he can ascertain during the heat whether the mixture is of the desired quality, and if necessary can increase or decrease the silicon, according as the shrinkage should be reduced or increased. Mechanical analysis answers all the requirements of the ordinary founder. Its simphcity renders the employment of an expert unneces- sary. Pig iron and coke, having been purchased upon guaranteed analysis, an occasional analysis of the castings is only required. In a report to The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Mr. Keep presents a Shrinkage Chart and Strength Table, which are given below with his directions for using them. Shrinkage Chart W. J. Keep While the tensile tests show an increase of strength with an increase of phosphorus, yet the transverse tests seem to show that phosphorus reduces strength. This is also general shop experience. Sulphur. — There is not in these tests enough imiformity between the percentage of sulphur and the strength to show any decided influence, but the indication is that sulphur decreases strength. In some cases sulphur might add to strength by causing the grain to be closer. Manganese. — The percentage is too nearly the same in these series to show any influence on strength. By comparing strengths and chemical composition of the irons nearest ahke, with all chemical elements nearly alike, and no scrap, but with quite different strengths, it is very evident that strength is dependent upon something outside of the ordinary chemical composition. Slow cooHng decreases strength by making the grain of a casting coarse and more open. The larger the casting the weaker it become? per square inch of section. The weakness is not caused by a decrease in combined carbon because a complete analysis of each size of test bar Shrinkage Chart 373 (Transactions, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Vol. XVI, p. hoc) shows the same combined carbon in all sizes of many series, but in all cases the strength per unit of section decreased as the size increased. Strength of any size of test bar cannot be calculated by any mathe- matical formula from the measured strength of another size, because the grain changes by slow cooling. 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 2.25 2.50 2.75 3.00 3.25 3.50 425 400 375 350 325 300 275 250 225 200 175 3400 3200 3000 2800 2600 2400 2200 - ^ ^ ^ M y y" J / ^^ -^ ■^ 2x 1" 2000 - / ^^' • 1800 — ^ 2 1600 . 3 ~> — — ' 1400 -~^ ^S_ ■ -- . ~^ 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 2,25 250 2.75 3,00 3.25 3.50, Percent Silicon.

"To find the Strength of any Casting. — Divide the cubic contents of the casting by the square inches of cooling surface, and the quotient is the cooling ratio.

Determinations for strength are generally made by taking the trans- verse strength and deflection. The Riehle Machine as shown in Fig. 108 is in common use for this purpose. This illustration represents faith- fully the general appearance of this machine. The specimen is shown in position. The weighing-beams and levers are all carefully sealed to the standard of the United States Government, and guaranteed to be accurate and reliable. Fig. 108. Constituents of Cast Iron 377 Operation The weighing-beam must be balanced before the specimen is arranged for testing. The wheel shown must be moved from left to right, and, as the beam rises, the poise must be moved out to restore the equipoise. If more strain is required to break the specimen than can be weighed by the poise, move the poise back to zero and place the loose weight on the weight dish shown at the extreme left (small end) of weighing-beam, and move the poise out as before, until the test is completed. The calcula- tions are made so that the beam registers the center load. Dimensions Extreme length 3 ft. 2 in. Extreme height . 3 ft. i in. Extreme width i ft. 4 in. Weight 200 lbs.

The latter method is the more simple and gives accurate results. A small high speed drill may be used for this piupose, but it must be so arranged that the load on the spindle will be constant. Standard Methods for Determining the Constituents of Cast Iron As reported by the Committee of the American Foundrymen's Association, Phila- delphia Convention, May 21-24, IQO?- Determination of Silicon Weigh one gram of sample, add 30 c.c. nitric acid (1.13 sp. gr.); then 5 c.c. sulphuric acid (cone). Evaporate on hot plate imtil all fumes are driven off. Take up in water and boil until all ferrous sul- phate is dissolved. Filter on an ashless filter, with or without suction pump, using a cone. Wash once with hot water, once with hydrochloric acid, and three or four times with hot water. Ignite, weigh and evapo- 378 Chemical Analysis rate with a few drops of sulphuric acid and 4 or 5 c.c. of hydrofluoric acid. Ignite slowly and weigh. Multiply the difference in weight by 0.4702, which equals the per cent of siHcon. Determination 0} Sulphur Dissolve slowly a three-gram sample of driUings in concentrated nitric acid in a platinum dish covered with an inverted watch glass. After the iron is completely dissolved, add two grams of potassium nitrate, evaporate to dryness and ignite over an alcohol lamp at red heat. Add 50 c.c. of a one per cent solution of sodium carbonate, boil for a few minutes, filter, using a little paper pulp in the filter if desired, and wash with a hot one per cent sodium carbonate solution. Acidify the filtrate with hydrochloric acid, evaporate to dryness, take up with 50 c.c. of water and 2 c.c. of concentrated hydrochloric acid, filter, wash and after diluting the filtrate to about 100 c.c. cool and precipitate with barium chloride. Filter, wash well with hot water, ignite and weigh as barium sulphate, which contains 13.733 per cent of sulphur. Determination of Phosphorus Dissolve 2 grams sample in 50 c.c. nitric acid (sp. gr., 1.13), add 10 c.c. hydrochloric acid and evaporate to dryness. In case the sample contains a fairly high percentage of phosphorus it is better to use half the above quantities. Bake imtil free from acid, redissolving in 25 to 30 c.c. of concentrated hydrochloric acid; dilute to about 60 c.c, filter and wash. Evaporate to about 25 c.c, add 20 c.c. concentrated nitric acid, evapo- rate imtil a film begins to form, add 30 c.c. of nitric acid (sp. gr., 1.20) and again evaporate until a film begins to form. Dilute to about i5(» c.c with hot water and allow it to cool. When the solution is between 70 degrees and 80 degrees C. add 50 c.c. of molybdate solution. Agitate the solution a few minutes, then filter on a tarred Gooch crucible having a paper disc at the bottom. Wash three times with a 3 per cent nitric acid solution and twice with alcohol. Dry at 100 degrees to 105 degrees C. to constant weight. The weight multiplied by 0.0163 equals the per cent of phosphorus in a i-gram sample. To make the molybdate solution add 100 grams molybdic acid to 250 c.c. water, and to this add 150 c.c. ammonia, then stir until all is dissolved and add 65 c.c. nitric acid (1.42 sp. gr.). Make another solu- tion by adding 400 c.c. concentrated nitric acid to iioo c.c water, and when the solutions are cool, pour the first slowly into the second with constant stirring and add a couple of drops of ammonium phosphate. Determination of Total Carbon 379 Determination of Manganese Dissolve one and one-tenth grams of drillings in 25 c.c. nitric acid (1.13 sp. gr.), filter into an Erlenmeyer flask and wash with 30 c.c, of the same acid. Then cool and add about one-half gram of bismuthate until a permanent pink color forms. Heat until the color has disappeared, with or without the precipitation of manganese dioxide, and then add either sulphurous acid or a solution of ferrous sulphate until the solution is clear. Heat until all nitrous oxide fumes have been driven off, cool to about fifteen degrees C; add an excess of sodium bismuthate — about one gram — and agitate for two or three minutes. Add 50 c.c. water containing 30 c.c. nitric acid to the litre, filter on an asbestos filter into an Erlenmeyer flask, and wash with fifty to one hundred c.c. of the nitric acid solution. Run in an excess of ferrous sulphate and titrate back with potassium permanganate solution of equal strength. Each c.c. of N-io ferrous sulphate used is equal to o.io per cent of manganese. Determination of Total Carbon This determination requires considerable apparatus; so in view of putting as many obstacles out of the way of its general adoption in cases of dispute, your committee has left optional several points which were felt to bring no chance of error into the method. The train shall consist of a pre-heating furnace, containing copper oxide (Option No. i) followed by caustic potash (1.20 sp. gr.), then calcium chloride, following which shall be the combustion furnace in which either a porcelain or platinum tube may be used (Option No. 2), The tube shall contain four or five inches of copper oxide between plugs of platinum gauze, the plug to the rear of the tube to be at about the point where the tube extends from the furnace. A roll of silver foil about two inches long shall be placed in the tube after the last plug of platinum gauze. The train after the combustion tube shaU be anhydrous cupric sulphate, anhydrous cuprous chloride, calcium chloride, and the absorp- tion bulb of potassium hydrate (sp. gr., 1.27) with prolong filled with calcium chloride. A calcium chloride tube attached to the aspirator bottle shall be connected to the prolong. In this method a single potash bulb shall be used. A second bulb is sometimes used for a coimterpoise being more liable to introduce error than correct error in weight of the bulb in use, due to change of tempera- ture or moisture in the atmosphere. The operation shall be as follows: To i gram of weU-mixed drilhngs add 100 c.c. of potassium copper chloride solution and 7.5 c.c. of hydro- chloric acid (cone). As soon as dissolved, as shown by the disappearance 380 Chemical Analysis of all copper, filter on previously washed and ignited asbestos. Wash thoroughly the beaker in which the solution was made with 20 ex. of dilute hydrochloric acid [i to i], pour this on the filter and wash the carbon out of the beaker by means of a wash bottle containing dilute hydro- chloric acid [i to i] and then wash with warm water out of the filter. Dry the carbon at a temperature between 95 and 100 de- grees C. Before using the apparatus a blank shall be run and if the bulb does not gain in weight more than 0.5 milligram, put the dried filter into the igm'tion tube and heat the pre-heating furnace and the part of the com- bustion furnace containing the copper oxide. After this is heated start the aspiration of oxygen or air at the rate of three bubbles per second, to show in the potash bulb. Continue slowly heating the combustion tube by turning on two burners at a time, and continue the combustion for 30 minutes if air is used; 20 minutes if oxygen is used. (The Shimer crucible is to be heated with a blast lamp for the same length of time.) When the ignition is finished turn o2 the gas supply gradually so as to allow the combustion tube to cool off slowly and then shut off the oxygen supply and aspirate with air for 10 minutes. Detach the potash bulb and prolong, close the ends with rubber caps and allow it to stand for 5 minutes, then weigh. The increase in weight multiplied by 0.27273 equals the percentage of carbon. The potassium copper chloride shall be made by dissolving one pound of the salt in one litre of water and filtering through an asbestos filter. Option No. I. — While a pre-heater is greatly to be desired, as only a small percentage of laboratories at present use them, it was decided not to make the use of one essential to this method; subtraction of the weight of the blank to a great extent eliminating any error which might arise from not using a pre-heater. Option No. 2. — The Shimer and similar crucibles are largely used as combustion furnaces and for this reason it was decided to make optional the use of either the tube furnace or one of the standard crucibles. In case the crucible is used it shall be followed by a copper tube He inch inside diameter and ten inches long, with its ends cooled by water jackets. In the center of the tube shall be placed a disk of platinum gauze, and for three or four inches in the side towards the crucible shall be silver foil and for the same distance on the other side shall be copper oxide. The ends shall be plugged with glass wool, and the tube heated with a fish tail burner before the aspiration of the air is started. Graphite 381 Graphite Dissolve one-gram sample in 35 c.c. nitric acid [1.13 sp. gr.], filter on asbestos, wash with hot water, then with potassium hydrate [i.i sp. gr.] and finally with hot water. The graphite is then ignited as specified in the determination of total carbon. CHAPTER XVI MALLEABLE CAST IRON The process of rendering iron castings malleable was discovered by- Reaumur in 1722 and is essentially the same as that pursued at the present day. McWilliams and Longmuir divide malleable castings into two classes. 1. Black Heart Black heart has a silvery outside and black inside, with a silky lustre. This is made of a hard white iron, containing from 3 to 4 per cent carbon, as hard carbide of iron. By the process of annealing, to be described later, the carbide of iron is decomposed into free carbon (annealing carbon) and iron; leaving a soft malleable iron, which contains nearly all of the initial carbon but in the free state finely divided and intermixed with the iron. Black heart is mostly made in America. The process is conducted much more rapidly than that of the ordinary (or Reaumur process), but requires more skill and scientific information. The iron used must be low in silicon and sulphur but need not necessarily be a white iron. The analysis should approximate to, silicon, i per cent to 0.5 per cent; sulphur, .05 per cent as a maximum; phosphorus, .1 per cent maximum; manganese, .5 per cent maximum and carbon 3 per cent. The principle involved is that of taking white iron castings of suitable composition, heating them to high temperature and converting them to the malleable condition by precipitating the carbon in a fine state of division, as annealing carbon. High temperature shortens the process, but it has been found more desirable to use a lower temperature and longer anneal, as the desired change is more readily secured. The method of molding is the same as for gray iron, with same allow- ance for shrinkage. The amount of feeder required varies from 12.5 to 25 per cent of the weight of casting. Skill is required to make solid castings with minimum amount of metal. After cleaning in the usual manner the castings are packed in cast iron boxes of varying sizes to suit their character, with iron scale or sand, bone dust or fire clay; the boxes are covered with lids and luted, then 382 Black Heart 383 stacked in the annealing oven (to be described later). The temperature of the oven is gradually raised to about 1 100° C, maintained at that point for two days and then allowed to drop slowly until sufficiently cool to permit removal of the boxes. The composition of the castings after annealing is only altered in the carbon, the total amount being somewhat less but practically all present in the free state. The composition of castings made by one of the largest English makers is as follows: Si 0.5; S 0.04; P. 0.07; Mn 0.4; graphitic carbon 2.5; combined carbon 0.05. A test piece i/^-inch square bent 180° — cold; tensile strength 40,000 pounds per square inch, elongation 6 per cent in 2 inches, reduction of area 9 per cent. Black heart is more reliable for light than for heavy work. To avoid the introduction of sulphur, the pig iron is usually melted in an air furnace. Messrs. Charpy & Grenet's experiments on irons of the following compositions are given herewith. No. Silicon Sulphur Phosphorus Manganese Carbon I .70 .01 trace .03 3.60 2 .27 .02 .02 trace 3.40 3 •• .80 .02 .03 trace 3.2s 4 1.25 .01 .01 .12 3.20 ^ 2.10 .02 .01 .12 3.30 These irons were poured into cold water and contained no appreciable amount of graphite, excepting the last which had 20 per cent. Samples of these were subjected to various reheatings and to ascertain as nearly as practicable the condition at any one temperature, the samples were quenched at that temperature and then analyzed. 1. Heated at 1100° C. or any low temperature for long periods gave no graphitic carbon; but at 1150° C. the separation of graphitic carbon was produced. 2. Heated for four hours each at 700°, 800°, 900° and 1000° C. showed no free carbon; but it appeared in heating to 1100° C. 3. Showed traces at 800° C. 4. 5. Showed traces at 650° C. In the case of No, 5, after heating at 650° C. for 6 hours, the content of graphitic carbon had increased from o.io to 2.83 per cent. The separation of graphite, once commenced, continues at tempera- tures inferior to those at which the action begins. Thus: A sample of No. i, heated at 1170° C. and quenched, contained 384 Malleable Cast Iron only 0.50 graphitic carbon and 2.6 combined carbon, while another sample of the same cast iron, heated at the same time to 1170° C, cooled slowly to 700° C. and then quenched contained 1.87 graphitic carbon and 0.43 combined carbon. Again a fragment of No. 3, heated to 1170° C. and quenched, contained 1.42 graphitic carbon and 1.69 combined carbon, while another fragment heated to 1170° C. cooled slowly to 700° C. and then quenched contained 2.56 graphitic carbon and 0.38 combined carbon. At a constant temperature the separation of the graphite is effected progressively, at a rate that is the more gradual, the lower the tempera- ture or the less the silicon content. The authors show that these cast irons, with regard to the critical points, have the usual carbon change point, about 700° C, but that there is another well-marked arrest in heating at 1140°, 1165°, 1137° and 1165° C, for numbers i, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively; and similarly in cooling at 1120°, 1130°, 1137° and 1145° C. In an experiment made by W. H. Hatfield, with six bars, all containing: Si i.o; S 0.04; P 0.04; Mn 0.22; graphitic carbon 2.83; combined carbon 0.08, all white irons as cast; variously heat-treated so as to give the same composition to analysis, but to have the free carbon in all states of division from fine in No. i to coarse in No. 6. Bars I inch square by 18 inches long were tested transversely on knife edges 12 inches apart and gave No. Inches deflection No. Inches deflection I 5 6 2 3 before fracture; the gradually decreasing deflections given being due entirely to the increasing coarseness of the free carbon. Another set of four test bars, containing 0.45, 0.90, i.ia-i.88 per cent sihcon but otherwise similar in composition to the above; heat-treated so that all should have the same type of free or annealing carbon, gave 95°, 98°, 94° and 89°, respectively, when subjected to the ordinary bending test. The microstructure of these bars consisted of ferrite or silicon ferrite speckled with annealing carbon, which if kept of suitable structure affects the malleability little more than does the slag in the case of wrought Ordinary or Reaumur Malleable Cast Iron 385 Pearlite, when present, after heat-treating white irons, greatly in- creases the tenacity, one sample having a tenacity of 32,6 tons per square inch, with an elongation of 6 per cent on 2 inches, and a bending angle of 90°, when treated so as to leave 0.35 per cent of carbon in the com- bined form and present as pearlite in the structure. Another sample of the same general composition, but treated to leave only 0.06 per cent as combined carbon had a tenacity of 21.2 tons per square inch, elongation 11 per cent on two inches and a bending angle of 180° unbroken. 2. Ordinary or Reaumur Malleable Cast Iron In this class of castings the carbon is completely eliminated, leaving a soft material similar in analysis to wrought iron. It is stated that irons containing as much as 0.5 sulphur may be used in this class of castings. The irons employed are mottled or white, analyzing as follows: Si 0.5 to 0.9; S 0.25 to 0.35; P 0.05 to 0.08; Mn 0.1 to 0.2, total carbon 3^ per cent It may be melted in the crucible, in the cupola, or in the air fiu-nace. The cupola is more in general use in England than the air furnace. The table below shows approximately the influence of remelting by the several processes. Original pig iron Crucible Cupola Reverb.

Molding operations are the same as for green sand, except that provision must be made for the narrow range of fluidity and the high contraction of white iron. Allowance for shrinkage is }i inch to the foot. The castings after proper cleaning are packed in cast-iron boxes of suitable sizes, with red hematite ore broken up finely. New ore is not used alone but one part new is mixed thoroughly with four parts that have been used before; the castings are carefully packed in this mixture so that no two are in contact. The oxygen from the ore oxidizes the carbon in the castings, gradually 386 Malleable Cast Iron eliminating it. The ore, previous to use, is red oxide of iron (Fe203), but after the annealing process is found to be black oxide corresponding to the formula Fe304. After stacking the boxes in the anneaHng oven, the temperature is gradually raised during 48 to 72 hours; maintained at the annealing temperature from 12 to 24 hours, then allowed from 48 to 72 hours to cool. The length of time during which the high temperature is maintained varies with the thickness of the castings. For thick work the high temperature may have to be continued for a period increasing with the thickness of the, castings up to 96 hours. Typical Temperature Curve for Annealing Oven 1000 500 O'C 1 2 3 4 5 6 Fig. 109. Some makers anneal at as low a temperature as 850° C. (see P. Long, "Metallurgy, Iron and Steel," page 130). Within reasonable hmits, chemical composition of the castings in this process has little bearing on the result provided they are white iron as cast. The silicon may run from 0.3 to 0.9; sulphur 0.05 to 0.5; phosphorus should be under o.i; manganese causes trouble if over 0.5. Castings made by this process give a tensile strength of 18 to 22 tons; an elongation of 2V-i. to 6 per cent on 2 inches and a reduction of area of 5 to 8 per cent, with a cold bend on i^-inch square, of 45° to 90°. Mr. P. Longmuir obtained the following results from a commercial casting: Tensile strength, 27 tons; elongation, 5.7 per cent on 2 inches; reduction of area 10 per cent; it analyzed Si 0.65; S 0.3; P 0.04; Mn 0.15. In the process of annealing the carbon only is affected, being con- siderably reduced in amount; what remains is partly free and partly . combined. An annealed sample containing 0.6 per cent free carbon and 0.4 combined is considered good. Mr. Percy Longmuir places the average silicon for good malleable castings at 0.6, sulphur 0.3, phosphorus 0.05, and combined carbon 3 to 3.5 per cent.

"Three converted bars of identical composition analyzing: Constituents Per cent Constituents Per cent Total carbon Combined carbon 1.64 1.64 .03 Manganese Sulphur Phosphorus trace 01 Silicon .01 One was packed in charcoal, another in pure quartz sand, the third in a red hematite ore mixture, consisting of two parts old and one part new. The pots were placed close together in the annealing oven and slowly raised to about 800° C. This required about three days. They were held at this temperature for 24 hoxirs, then raised to 900° C, held there for two days, then cooled slowly. Upon removal and breaking the following results appeared. No. I, from charcoal, broke short and gave a coarsely crystalline structure showing imder the microscope absolutely no free carbon. Its carbon was 1.63 per cent, the other elements remaining unchanged. No. 2, from sand, Was fairly tough but broke without bending. Fracture crystalline and steely. Its carbon was 0.74 per cent and again no free carbon was found. No. 3, from the ore mixture, bent considerably before breaking and was fairly ductile. Its carbon was 0.15 per cent and again no free carbon could be found, the structure being of ferrite crystals. The experiments appearing to prove conclusively the possibihty of carbon being removed without previous formation of free or temper carbon. 388 Malleable Cast Iron For the second series of experiments, an ordinary white iron was taken containing: Constituents Per cent Constituents Per cent 3.5 none .50 Manganese Sulphur Phosphorus Trace .35 The packing was the ore mixture previously referred to. Samples were heat-treated and sections were given a careful micro- scopical examination, with the following results: Decarburization began 54 hours after commencement of heating and at 770° C, showing a thin skin of ferrite; the remaining portion of the casting retained the typical structine of white iron. 40 hours later, during which time the temperature gradually raised to 980° C, the de- carburized skin increased in thickness to Yis inch. Fourteen hoiurs later, at a temperature of 970° C, the interior had broken down and free or temper carbon was apparent. During the next interval' of 60 hours, at 950° C. very little change occurred. The center showed pearlite, with a little cementite and containing temper carbon, merging gradually into the skin of ferrite. During the following 72 hours, the temperature was dropped to 140° C, resulting in the production of a really good sample of Enghsh malleable cast iron of the following analysis: Constituents Per cent Constituents Per cent Combined carbon .65 1. 10 Sulphur ■ 35 Temper carbon Phosphorus . ... ■ 05 1 The author's conclusion is, that carbon is eHminated while still in combination with the iron. It (the elimination) begins to take place at the comparatively low temperature of 750° C, and increases in activity with the temperature imtil such a temperature is reached that free or temper carbon is pre- cipitated. Previous to this change the interior consists of white iron, with the original quantity of combined carbon. As the operation proceeds the temper carbon is gradually taken back into combination to replace that removed by the oxidizing influences. American Practice 389 American Practice The mixtures of iron vary as the castings are thick or thin. The iron is melted either in the cupola, the air furnace or the open hearth furnace. The latter produces the best castings, but can only be used advanta- geously where the output is large enough to permit of running the fur- nace continuously. The air furnace is most frequently used. The castings may or may not be packed in an oxidizing material. Sand or fire clay are frequently used. Dr. Moldenke, who is recognized as an authority on malleable cast iron, states: "That it is absolutely necessary to have the hard castings free from graphite." He advises the following: Contents: Per Cent Carbon 3 -3.5 Silicon, heavy work, not over 0.45 Sihcon, ordinary work, not over o . 65 SiHcon, agricultural work, not over o. 80-1 . 25 Sulphur, not over o . 05 Phosphorus, not over o. 225 Manganese, not over o. 40 "In anneaKng, the temperature of the furnace should be run up to ' heat' in the shortest safe time possible; the limit is the danger of injury to furnace. Then the dampers should be closed and the temperature evenly maintained for 48 hoiurs. The fiu"nace should then be gradually cooled to a black heat before dumping. 36 hovirs are usually required to bring the oven up to heat. The entire process occupies about seven days. The annealing tem- perature is 1350° F. and this must obtain at the coldest part of the fur- nace, usually the lower part of the middle of the front row of pots. A difference of 200° F. in temperature is often found at different parts of the furnace. Cupola iron requires an annealing temperature 200" F. higher than that frorri an air furnace. The fuel ratio of an air furnace runs from i to 2 to i to 4. Loss in sihcon about 35 points. Temperatures should be carefuUy watched and measured with a Le Chateher pyrometer." The Doctor has much to say about the danger of injury to the melted iron in the bath, from oxidation. His practice was to have three tapping spouts at different levels, so that for an 18-ton furnace, three taps of 6 tons each may be made at intervals, tapping at the upper hole first and then in order from upper to bottom hole. 390 Malleable Cast Iron Mr. H. E. Diller, in the Journal of The American Foundrymen's Association, Vol. XI, Dec, 1902, says: The hard casting should have its carbon practically all in the com- bined state, while the annealing process should convert this to the so- called temper, or annealing carbon. In the manufacture of malleable castings the special make of iron called 'Malleable Bessemer' or 'Malleable Coke Iron' is the principal material used. The charcoal irons, while unequalled for value, are con- fined to the regions where they can compete with the cheaper coke irons. The composition required is as follows: Per cent Silicon o . 75 to 1 . 50 Sulphur, below 0.04, if possible Phosphorus, under ....0.20 With the pig iron, hard sprues (unannealed scrap), steel and also malle- able scrap are charged. The latter two materials are very good to add to the mixture, as they raise the strength of the casting very consider- ably. • Too much must not be added, as it would reduce the carbon to a point where fluidity and life in the melted metal is sacrificed. The most serious objection to cupola iron is its poor behavior under bending test, the deflection being very slight. Test bars from this class of iron seldom run above 40,000 pounds per square inch in tensile strength, while with furnace iron, there is no difficulty in getting a few thousand pounds more. The metal may be tapped from the furnaces into hand ladles; or it may be caught in crane ladles, carried to the distributing point and there emptied into the hand ladles. When tapped into hand ladles, time is a serious item, for the begin- ning and the end of the heat will be two different things. The latter iron will be inferior as it was subjected to the oxidizing effect of the flame much longer than the first part. This difficulty is some- what remedied by pouring the light work first, the heavier pieces coming later, when the silicon has been lowered too much for good light castings. The gating should be done to avoid the shrinkage effects as much as may be. The little tricks that can be applied make a surprising difference in the molding loss. Some malleable works seldom lose more than 10 per cent, while in others 20 per cent and over is the rule. 'After the castings have been tumbled they go to the annealing room, American Practice 391 where they are packed in mill cinder or iron ore, in cast-iron boxes. These are carefully luted up and heated in suitably constructed ovens, for five or six days. It usually takes from 36 hours to 48 hours to get the oven up to heat, the temperature ranging from 1600° to 1800° F. in the oven, the boxes having a somewhat lower temperature at the coldest point. When the fires are extinguished, the dampers are closed tight, all air excluded, and the oven allowed to cool very gradually; often only 400"^ F. the first day. After the castings come from the anneahng oven, they are again tumbled to remove the burnt scale; then chipped and ground for ship- ment. A well-annealed casting should not have much over 0.06 to 0.12 per cent combined carbon remaining in it. There is a material difference between the strength of an over-annealed casting and a normal one. Fig. 1 10. — Typical American Air Furnace. Two bars were taken from each of five heats. One from each set was given the usual anneal and the others reannealed. The average tensile strength of those annealed as usual, was 50,520 pounds per square inch, and the average elongation 6% per cent in six inches. The reannealed set had an average tensile strength of 43,510 pounds per square inch; the average elongation was 6h per cent in six inches. Over anneahng had therefore cost the metal some 7000 pounds of its strength. 'Malleable' can be made up to 60,000 pounds per square inch, though this is not advisable as the shock resisting qualities are sacrificed. Prof. Ledebur determined by experiment that the higher the silicon the lower the annealing temperature required, and the higher the tem- perature and silicon the quicker the change. He used five samples: 1 with 0.07 silicon. Could not be annealed. 2 with 0.27 silicon. Required temperature almost at melting point. 3 with 0.80 siHcon. Began to anneal at 1675° F. 4 with 1.25 sihcon. Began to anneal at 1200° F. 5 with 2.10 silicon. Began to anneal at 1200° F. 392 Malleable Cast Iron Specifications for Malleable Castings of J. I.

The Iron Trade Review gives the production of malleable castings in 1903 for the United States and Canada as 750,000 tons. Combined output of the rest of the world 50,000 tons. CHAPTER XVII STEEL CASTINGS IN THE FOUNDRY There is a great demand on the part of foundrymen for an appliance to successfully melt steel in smaU quantities; permitting small steel castings, or castings for which the demand is immediate, to be made in the gray iron foundry. Many efforts have been made to realize this desire, but so far have met with indifferent success. There are several appHances offered to manufactiirers, some employing the Bessemer converter, others the electric furnace in connection with the cupola. Men especially skilled are required to manipulate steel furnaces. The processes of mixing and melting the metal and annealing castings differ' so radically from those of the gray iron foimdry, that in the present undeveloped state of steel founding on a small scale, steps on the part of the foundryman in that direction should be taken with extreme caution. Mr. Percy Longmuir defines ordinary steel "as iron containing from O.I to 2 per cent of carbon in the combined form, which has been sub- mitted to complete fusion and poured into an ingot, or mould, for the production of a malleable or forgeable metal." "Mild steel contains about 0.2 per cent carbon; the element increasing as the harder varieties are approached, being highest of all in the tool steels." "The mechanical effect of this carbon is shown in the following table." Material Carbon Silicon Sulphur Phos- phorus Tenacity in tons per square inch Extension per cent on two inches Contrac- tion per cent of area Mild steel.... Tool steel .10 1. 00 .03 .03 .02 .02 .02 .02 20.00 60.00 50.0 5.0 70.0 10. "Within limits, an increase of carbon is accompanied by an increase in tenacity and a decrease in ductility, each increment of carbon showing distinctly these increases." "The following classification embraces the most famiUar tempers of Bessemer, Siemens and crucible steel." 394 Steel Castings in the Foundry 395 Class of steel Content of carbon .20 Purpose Ship and boiler plates, sheets, etc. .25 Axle steel.

A steel containing o.io per cent carbon is unaffected in hardness by quenching, while one containing i per cent carbon becomes so hard under same conditions that it will scratch glass. Manganese is present in all commercial steels, varying from traces up to I per cent. It promotes soundness and neutralizes the effect of sulphur. Sihcon tends to the production of sound metal; while it is present in insignificant quantity in forging steel, in casting steels it may exist to the extent of 0.3 per cent. Phosphorus produces an exceedingly brittle, cold short metal. Pure steels contain 0.02 to 0.03 per cent. Usual specifications limit the phosphorus content to 0.06; at o.i the danger limit is reached. Steels containing appreciable amounts of sulphur are red short. In high quahty of steels the sulphur content runs about o.oi per cent. Ordinary specifications place the limit at 0.04 per cent. The variations in the carbon content to suit various requirements are shown in the following table : Content of carbon in steel Purpose for which the steel, in the form of a hardened or tempered tool, is suitable .50 Springs. .60 Stamping dies. .65 Clock springs. • .75 Hammers, shear blades, axes, mint dies. .80 Boiler punches, screw dies, cold sets. .90 Edge tools, slate saws. .95 Circular saws, pins.

" Comparing this table with the foregoing statements, it appears that as pearlite replaces ferrite, the maximum stress increases, continmng to do so until a structure consisting of pearlite and very thin meshes of cementite is reached. Further increase in carbon resulting in greater dispersal of free cementite is associated with a decrease in maximum stress"." Bessemer Process The Bessemer process consists in blowing a large volume of compressed air through a bath of molten pig iron; the oxygen of the air combining with carbon, sihcon and manganese to form oxides. That combined with carbon passes off as gas while with sihcon and manganese slags are formed. On removal of carbon, silicon and manganese, assmning that sulphur and phosphorus are low, a product resembling wrought iron is obtained. Meantime during the process of oxidation, there is a rise in temperature sufficient to maintain mild steel in a fluid condition. The oxidation of silicon has the greatest effect in producing the rise in temperature. The irons must be low in sulphur and phosphorus, as these elements are not removed. An average content of 2.5 per cent silicon in the pig iron gives the best results. Higher than this, the heats are Hable to require scrap- ping; while with a lower content of sihcon there is danger of "cold blows." The melted metal is taken directly from the cupola, led by runners to the converter. The Baby Converter 397 The Baby Converter (Robert) This consists of a steel shell mounted on trunnions, so that it may be properly rotated. It is flattened on the back and lined with silica brick or ganister. On the flattened side the tuyeres are introduced horizontally. The surface of the metal lies approximately at the bottom of the tuyeres so that the blast may impinge upon it. The blast is from 3 to 4 pounds per square inch and means are provided for regulating it. The tuyeres being inclined radially, a rotary motion is imparted to the molten metal by the blast. In some cases the surface of the metal may be above the tuyere level, but seldom exceeds that by more than three or four inches. The high tuyere level permits some of the air to escape and burn on the surface of the bath; carbon monoxide is formed in the bath by the oxidation of the carbon. The combustion of carbon monoxide gives rise to considerable heat, which is absorbed by the bath. To this reaction is due the higher tem- perature of the side blow converter. The Tropenas converter has a double row of tuyeres which are hori- zontal when the converter is vertical. They are not radially inclined as in the Robert. The surface of the metal is at the bottom edge of the lower row of tuyeres; the blast is always on the surface of the metal. When blowing the converter is slightly inchned, causing the direction of the tuyeres to slope towards the surface of the metal. During the early stage of the blow the lower tuyeres only are used; but on the appearance of the carbon flame the upper row is opened. The carbon monoxide, partly consumed by air from the lower tuyeres, is supplied with sufi&cient oxygen for complete combustion by that from the upper row, generating additional heat. Recarbonization is effected in the converter or in the ladles according to the character of the composition required. The chemical changes taking place in a two ton Tropenas converter are given as follows : Constituents Cupola metal After 5 minutes blowing After 12 minutes blowing After 14 minutes blowing After 18 minutes blowing End of blow Fin- ished metal Graphite Combined car- bon Silicon Sulphur Phosphorus Manganese 3.180 .350 2.310 .037 .054 .610 2.920 .340 1.620 .037 .053 .600 2.900 .466 .035 .054 .101 2.300 .382 .036 .054 .040 .860 .084 .038 .051 .040 .100 .074 .038 .050 .042 .240 .326 .037 .0S8 1.080 398 Steel Castings in the Foundry Theoretically the feeder on a steel casting should sink due to shrinkage. If, however, instead of sinking, a rise is shown, this is clear evidence of internal unsoundness or sponginess. To prevent this result one of the first essentials lies in having the steel thoroughly dead melted or "killed" before casting. A properly "killed" steel pours quietly and settles down gently in the mould. "Wild metal " acts in the opposite way and in some cases is represented by an over-oxidized metal. A distinction must be drawn between a "pipe" and a blow hole. The former is due entirely to contraction or shrinkage in passing from the Hqmd to the solid state and must be obviated by feeding. "Blow-holes" are entirely different from "pipes" and are formed by the hberation of gases absorbed during the melting process. In considering the character of these gases, oxygen naturally arises first, owing to the strong affinity between iron and oxygen. There is every reason to suppose, however, that the oxygen absorbed when the iron is molten, remains stable at low temperatures -as an oxide, and in the absence of a deoxidizing agent this ferrous oxide is intermingled with the iron. Oxygenated steel is "dry" under the hammer and this con- dition is not necessarily due to blow-holes, but to "red-short" metal. Further, if free oxygen were present in quantity in the gas contained in a blow-hole, its skin would show an oxide film. The majority of blow^-holes have bright surfaces; comparatively few show colored tints, ranging from a straw to a blue, due to oxidation. These colored blow-holes owe their oxidized film, not to free oxygen hberated by the iron, but to air mechanically trapped during casting. Analyses of the gases seldom show more than traces of oxygen. Mr. E. Munker reports sixty-seven analyses of gases evolved by molten pig iron; the highest content of oxygen in the series is found at 0.8 per cent. Average analyses of gases in blow-holes give results of the following order: Per cent Hydrogen 75 Nitrogen . 23 Carbon monoxide . 2 The actual amount of these gases absorbed depends to some extoit on the temperature and composition of .the bath. While fluid the gases are retained; but with a fall in temperature after casting they are evolved. Those set free by a fall in temperature bubble through the pasty mass, the trapped bubbles representing blow-holes in the casting. As the tem- perature continues to fall less movement is offered and the gases cannot force passages through the stiffening metal. Hence more bubbles are trapped. Finally a stage is reached at which the mass becomes rigid and the further formation of blow-holes becomes impossible. The Baby Converter 399 The author's conclusions from the investigations of Wahlberg are: "i. If no internal movement is possible in the solidifying steel, the gas cannot disengage itself and so leads to the formation of blow-holes." "2. The presence of sihcon and manganese lead to the retention of the gases until sohdification is complete, hence preventing the formation of blow-holes." Methods of prevention include: "i. Liquid compression. "2. Additions to the steel of sihcon, manganese or aluminum. Each of these elements acts powerfully on the oxygen or the oxides of iron, combining with the oxygen to form slag." " Aluminum will remove carbonic oxide. There is, however, no reason to suppose that it will remove either hydrogen or nitrogen." "There are grounds for the belief that silicon, manganese and alum- inum increase the solvent power of the steel for hydrogen and nitrogen and that these gases remain dissolved." BrineU found that to produce an ingot of perfect density in the absence of sihcon, 1.66 per cent of manganese is necessary. In the absence of manganese 0.32 per cent sihcon is required; and with no manganese or sihcon 0.0184 per cent of aluminum is sufficient to produce a perfectly sound ingot. Or expressed in another way he states that aluminum is 90 times as effective as manganese and 17.3 times as much so as sihcon, in removal of gases. Metalhc borides are suggested by Weber for removal of oxygen; these in conjunction with ferrotitanium tend to removal of nitrogen. The casting temperature exercises a great influence upon the properties of the metal. These are found to rise and fall with the temperature above and below the casting heat, as shown by the following table: Analyses Maximum stress, tons per square inch Elonga- tion, per cent in 2 inches Reduc- tion of No. Carbon Si Mn s P per cent 80 A.... 81 A.... 82 A.... 83 A.... .29 .29 .29 .29 .07 .07 .07 .07 .16 .16 .16 .16 .07 .07 .07 .07 .c6 .06 .06 .06 24.2 27.2 27.0 25.5 95 24.0 12.5 8.0 18.0 32.3 17-5 12.0 These steels were poured from one large ladle at intervals of a few minutes. They are exactly of the same analysis; the bars were annealed together, each bar receiving exactly the same treatment, and apart from variation of casting temperatures, the conditions were the same for all. These results have been repeated many times. When the steel is poured at an excessive temperature, similar ones are always obtained. 400 Steel Castings in the Foundry Annealing The following is extracted from McWiUiams and Longmuir's " Gen- eral Foundry Practice." Steel castings are usually annealed in the reverberatory gas furnace. The anneaKng recommended by Prof. Arnold for general work is to heat the castings up to about 950° C. keeping them at that temperature for about 70 hours, then luting the furnace and allowing them to cool slowly for 100 hours. The Clinch- Jones annealing furnace is highly spoken of, the controlling idea being that while the castings are heated in a muffle, by keen flames outside the walls of the muffle, virgin gas from the producer is allowed to come into the muffle and combine with all the oxygen that may enter, thus preventing it from getting to the castings to scale them by oxidizing at their surfaces. A cut of this oven is shown on page 266 (McW. &L.). The micrographs (McW. & L.) show the structural changes produced by annealing. It should be remarked that the unannealed bar, Fig. 112, (McW. & L.) %-inch diameter when bent over a ^^-inch radius broke at 43°. After annealing, same bar bent double without fracture. after annealing Fig. 112. f ^H EKIF^^''' ^ r ^^^V *■P^-~--<^.j^ ^^^ i^^S^ ^^B^^p^R ^^. ^^m faS^Kj pj^Mff^X nH^IHBl ^^^Sbt^^^W '^s^ ^r^BBl ^BKrS^^Sir^^ m v^OB BSOf^^^ 3ii^— 4^ Fig. 113. Fig. 113 (McW. & L.) shows the structure of a portion of a large open hearth casting, having originally the same structure as the unan- nealed part of Fig. 112 after insufficient annealing. When thoroughly annealed the structure was as shown in Fig. 114. A test bar i inch square as shown in Fig. 113 broke at 40°; while one Tropenas Process 401 as per Fig. 114 bent at 101° without fracture, showing tensile strength of 33 tons per square inch; elongation 30 per cent; reduction of area 41 per cent. The composition of the casting was C.C. 0.24, Si 0.15, Mn 0.8, P 0.04, S 0.05. Fig. 114. Other micrographs of most interesting character are shown on pages 293 to 297 and 338 to 354 (McW. & L.). The process of annealing must be varied to suit different compositions and purposes for which the steel is provided. Tropenas Process This process was patented by Alex. Tropenas of Paris in 1891; the first converter, 800 pounds capacity, was erected at the works of Edgar Allen & Co., Ltd., ShefiQeld, Eng., and introduced into the United States in 1898. It produces hotter steel than any other process. The steel may be carried for considerable distances in hand ladles or shanks and poured into small castings. The Tropenas process consists in melting a calculated mixture in the cupola, transferring the metal to a special type of converter and its conversion to steel therein. The reactions are identical with those of the Bessemer and open hearth furnaces; the difference lies in the manner of producing these reactions. The converter is designed to conserve and increase the heat as much as possible and by preventing evolution in the bath, to keep out any gases not necessary for or caused by the 402 Steel Castings in the Foundry decarburization, mechanical disturbance, gyration or ebullition of the bath is reduced to a minimum. The converter is in general similar to the Bessemer converter, the particular difference being in the location and construction of the tuyeres. Figs. 215 and 216, pages 307 and 308 McW. & L. give fair illustra- tions of the device. The operation consists in melting the iron in the cupola precisely as for gray iron castings, except that enough for the charge must be gathered at the first tapping. The melted iron is then transferred to the converter and skimmed clear of slag. The converter is so adjusted that the level of the metal reaches exactly to the lower edge Fig. 115. Fig. 116. of the bottom tuyeres, so that the blast will strike exactly upon the surface of the metal. The longitudinal axis of the converter should make an angle of from 5° to 8° with the vertical. This is a matter of importance and extreme care must be taken to obtain the correct position before applying the blast. The upper tuyeres are closed and the blast turned on with about 3 pounds pressure. If the composition of the iron is correct and it has been melted hot, sparks and smoke will be emitted from the converter for about four minutes, then flame appears which gradually increases in volume and brilliancy. After about ten minutes, what is known as "the boil" appears. In a few minutes this dies down considerably, and the blow remains quiescent for a time. Then the flame increases again, attains the maximum brilliancy and finally dies down for the last time. • Chemistry of the Process 403 This is the end of the blow, the carbon, silicon and manganese having been reduced to the lowest limits. The converter is now turned down, the blast shut off and a weighed amount of ferrosilicon, ferromanganese or silicon speigel added to recarbonize the steel to the desired point. The steel is now ready for casting. On account of its great fluidity and thin slag it may be poured over the hp of an ordinary ladle, instead of from one with a bottom pour. Claims made for this process. 1. The form of the bottom of the converter gives a greater depth in proportion to the surface area and cubic contents than any other pneu- matic process, preventing the disturbance of the bath when blowing. 2. The symmetrical position of the tuyeres with respect to the center tuyere prevents any gyrating or churning of the bath. This is directly opposed to all other processes. 3. The special position of the bottom tuyeres during blowing, so that they are never below the surface of the bath, reduces the power necessary for blowing; as only enough air Is introduced to make the combustion and not to support or agitate the bath. 4. The oxidation of the metalloids takes place at the surface only, the reaction being transmitted from molecule to molecule without any mechanical disturbance. 5. The addition of a second row of tuyeres completely burns the CO and H produced by the partial combustion of carbon and the decomposi- tion of moisture introduced with the blast and this increases the tem- perature of the bath by radiation. 6. Very pure steel is obtained, as the slag and the iron are not mixed together. 7. There is a minimum of waste on account of the bath being kept comparatively quiet. 8. Less final addition is required on account of the purity of the steel and its freedom from oxides. Chemistry of the Process No fuel is needed in the converter. The increase in temperature after the melted metal is introduced is occasioned by the combustion of the metalloids during their removal. These elements are carbon, siUcon and manganese. The oxidation of the siUcon furnishes by far the greatest part of the useful heat. Prof. Ledebur has calculated that the rise in temperature of the bath due to the combustion of i per cent of each of the constituents is as follows: SiHcon 300° C; phosphorus 183° C; manganese 69° C; iron 44° C; carbon 6° C. 404 Steel Castings in the Foundry * It is necessary that the composition of the bath before blowing should be that which has been found to give the best results. Sulphur and phosphorus are as unaffected here as in any other acid- hned f lurnace and the content of those elements in the finished steel will depend on how much the stock melted contained. The cupola mixture generally consists of low phosphorus pig iron and steel scrap, composed of runners, risers and waste from previous heats. As much as 50 per cent scrap may be carried successfully. The mixture must be made in such proportions that the analysis after melting will be: Per cent Silicon 1 . 90-2 . 25 Manganese o. 60-1 . 00 Carbon, about 3 • 00 The result of low silicon is to make the blows colder; that of high silicon to make the blows unduly long and to increase the wear on the lining. Manganese should be kept w^ithin the limits specified. Low man- ganese tends to make the slag thick. High manganese makes the blow sloppy and corrodes the lining. During the first period of the blow, the silicon chiefly is oxidized and the carbon changed from graphitic to combined. The manganese is the most active element in the middle of the blow, being most rapidly eliminated at the boil. The last period brings the carbon flame, and the indications are so plain that it is feasible to stop the blow before all the carbon is burned out, thereby reducing the amount of carburiser needed. In addition to these elements a certain amount of iron is unavoidably oxidized and the total loss of all elements included is about 12 per cent. Converter Linings The converter is generally lined with an acid or silica lining. Success- ful experiments have been made with a basic lining (dolomite), but it has not been developed commercially. Special shaped blocks to fit the converter or the regular standard shapes may be used. The material must be of the highest grade sihca stock, burnt at the highest possible kiln temperature. It usually contains from 95 to 97 per cent Si02, and is practically free from lime and magnesia. Another method in frequent use is to run ground ganister around a collapsible form. This probably is the cheapest method. Before making the first blow, the converter is made white hot by a coke or oil fire. Mr. J. S. Whitehouse of Columbus, Ohio, in a paper read before the American Foundrymen's Association, states that the claims which were Converter Linings 405 made for the side blow converter, when first introduced into America were, to say the least, absurd. Many failures were made by employ- ing inexperienced workmen, who had only limited instructions from experts sent out with the apparatus and the results were frequently disastrous. A year's experience, at least, under proper instruction is required before a man can become a competent blower. He must be able to tell the temperature of the metal soon after the flame starts and to judge the siUcon by the first period. He must tell when the blow is finished from the slag as well as by the flame. He must know how to keep the lining in the best shape to get all the heat possible from the process, and the hundred little kinks of the trade, which, as a rule, the expert will never impart, but are obtained only from experience. A man with the above qualifications will blow with a loss of less than 17 per cent — about 15 per cent. With proper blowing the main loss comes from the silicon in the charge, usually 2 per cent, which is oxidized together with iron and manganese to form the slag. Mr. Whitehouse learned to blow with 2 per cent silicon, but for the past few years has been blowing iron, analyzing from 0.90 to 1.25 per cent silicon from the cupola, and often has been obliged to use scrap while blowing. There is an advantage in the increased amount of scrap which can be carried, as it cuts down the cupola loss by increasing the amount of carbon in the charge. For example: He charges 50 per cent pig carrying about 3.75 per cent carbon and 50 per cent scrap having 0.25 per cent carbon. Tests from such iron from the cupola give 3.25 to 3.50 per cent carbon, showing a gain of 1.25 to 1.50 per cent carbon, taken from the coke, instead of purchased in the pig iron. 50 per cent scrap can be melted in the cupola, using only i2i/i per cent coke, but the blower must have a complete knowledge of cupola practice. Most blowers use too much volume and too high pressure of blast to get the best results. With low silicon the volume and pressure of blast must be low. No two blows will act alike and require different treatment, which can be determined by the flame, but which he is unable to describe. It is as necessar}^ for the blower to regulate the air valve to get proper combustion as it is for the melter to adjust air and gas valves. With ordinary care the steel produced in a converter is very uniform in carbon and silicon; more so, he thinks, than in the open hearth. The greatest variation seems to be in manganese. The temperature of the metal and the condition of the slag cause more variation in the converter than in the acid open hearth. It is possible to run several weeks without 4o6 Steel Castings in the Foundry taking an analysis and find at the end of the run very little variation in the elements. While this is possible with the open hearth, it is not practiced on account of the risk. It is, however, frequently done in converter practice. The method of making the molds is identical with that followed in the open-hearth practice. Fig. 117. — Arrangement of the Cupola and Converter. The Metal is Handled by a Fovir-ton Pneumatic Jib Crane. An ordinary converter shop, with one two-ton converter is capable of producing between 100 and 150 tons of good castings per month, blowing three times a week. He concludes with saying that the management must be good and the salaries paid the officers as reasonable as possible, otherwise the shop is fore-doomed to failure, regardless of the quaUty of the product. At the Cincinnati Meeting of the American Foundrymen's Associa- tion, Mr. Whitehouse, in reply to various inquiries, made the following statements : Converter Linings 407 When the flames show that the blow is getting very hot, scrap is thrown in at the top of the converter until it cools down. The scrap is as small as can be conveniently handled and is not preheated. The blast pressure averages from 2.25 to 2.50 pounds. Fig. 118. — Pouring the Iron into the Converter before the Blow. Sometimes, after the sihcon is reduced and during the blow, steel scrap is thrown into the converter. The carbon can be varied by the final additions. It is usual and customary to blow the heat down till the flame drops; the carbon is then about o.io per cent. The carbon is then raised by the addition of melted pig iron or pulverized coke. The carbon can be raised as much as desired. If more than 0.40 or 0.50 per cent carbon is 4o8 Steel Castings in the Foundry required, the blow is stopped before completion. It is customary to blow down to .09 or o.io per cent carbon, then to recarbonize with ferro- manganese, melted pig iron and spiegeleisen. I usually use coke. If ferromanganese is melted in a small cupola, as has been done in the East, the loss is very heavy. The most economical practice is to throw the ferromanganese into the converter at the end of the blow. The usual custom is to add ferromanganese and then pig iron. "My practice is never to reline entirely. At the end of the heat day, the converter is cooled off, patched up, dried out and is then ready for _ the next day. Where the converter is used until it is cut out, the Uning re- moved and then renewed, there is a great loss of iron." The practice is to blow just at the sur- face, with the blast impinging slightly on the metal. During the blow the tuyeres are submerged, and if the pressure is sud- denly stopped for any cause the iron. wiU run into the wind box. The converter is so placed that the blast will strike the surface of the metal at an angle of 175** to 171°. He does not use a second row of tuyeres. Upon starting to use the converter, there was an upper row of tuyeres, but they were subsequently dis- carded. The lower tuyeres furnish all the blast required. Formerly he used bull ladles in pour- ing small castings and experienced no trouble. At the present time, the entire heat, sometimes consisting of castings weighing less than thirty pounds, is poured with a thousand-pound ladle. The following extract is from the Foundry, Jan., 19 10, describing the equipment of the recently erected steel foundry of the Vancouver En- gineering Works, Ltd., Vancouver, B.C. The cupola is the Standard Whiting type, having a rated capacity of six to seven tons per hour. Iron is tapped from the cupola into a six-thousand-pound ladle, carried by a pneumatic crane. Two taps are made to obtain a full charge for the converter. The composition of the iron is as follows: Si. 1.80 to 2.00; S. 0.04; Fig. 119. — View of One End of the Foundry, Showing the Con- verter Discharging Steel into a Ladle. Standard Specifications for Steel Castings 409 Phos. 0.04; Mn. 0.60 to 1.50. The cupola charge is so proportioned as to give about one per cent manganese. Steel scrap is available as desired. The converter, of two-tons capacity, is of the standard Whiting type (Tro- penas) and is lined with ganister, sand and fireclay. This lining, if cared for, will give from 180 to 200 blows. The air pressure of blast to converter ranges from three to five pounds per square inch, regulated by valve on operator's platform. The blowing operation requires from 15 'to 20 minutes, varying with the percentage of metalloids in the iron. The temperatiure of the bath depends upon the rapidity of the blow. Fig. 120. — The Converter in Operation. Reduction in the weight of metal is about 18 per cent. The steel comes from the converter at 1700° C, insuring sufficient fluidity to give sharp, sound castings of light section.

Carr, on the manufacture of steel castings in small quantities by the open-hearth process is given herewith in full. Open-Hearth Methods for Steel Castings With Remarks on the Small Open-Hearth Furnace By W. M. Caer, New York City It is a fact that the open-hearth process for the manufacture of steel is gradually gaining ground, as can be proved by statistics. The reason for its supplanting other methods is mainly one of quality. Further, the basic open-hearth process permits a mixture of pig iron and miscellaneous steel scrap of a lower grade and cheaper price than raw material necessary to other processes. With the foregoing facts in mind the author presents this article for the consideration of prospective investors in the manufacture of steel castings in small, moderate and large tonnages; to be more explicit, small tonnages are capacities of melting units in one-half, one and two tons per heat. Moderate tonnages are capacities of furnaces of two to five tons per heat, and large tonnages are capacities from ten to twenty- five tons per heat. There are thus offered possible outputs to meet almost any requirements. In presenting the claims, it is with the recognition of the following advantages : 1. The small capacity furnaces cost less to install than any other steel making devices excepting only crucible melting furnaces. 2. The economy in operation of open-hearth furnaces in any capacity over that of any other steel-making process. 3. The certainty of results, the greater degree of control in operation and the reduction of the personal equation to the lowest possible expres- sion. 412 Steel Castings in the Foundry It is generally known to the foundrymen that the largest production of steel castings comes through open-hearth furnaces of capacities of j&ve to twenty-five tons per heat. Such practice is established and requires constant demand to be profitable, and investment of consider- able capital varying with the size of the plant. It has been thought that capacities of less than five tons per heat are not possible by open-hearth methods, and engineers generally have dissuaded those who wish to Fig. 122. engage in the manufacture of steel castings either for their own con- sumption or the trade from using open-hearth methods, since up till quite recently the tendency has been rather to increase the capacity of the open hearth, supposedly for economical reasons rather than to build small units with less capacities. The author, however, has had the opportunity to demonstrate the possibilities of the miniature open hearth and has found from actual practice that it is economical, and comparing operation costs with stand- Open-Hearth Methods for Steel Castings 413 ard capacity furnaces, bears equally well in economy. This fact is somewhat of an innovation, but nevertheless true, and it can be said that the operating cost of the miniature open hearth is less than that of any type of steel-producing unit or process, making steel in equal quantity. To assist those who may not be famihar with an open-hearth furnace and its operation, a study of the diagram herewith, (Fig. 122) given may be instructive. The upper part of the furnace is represented in sectional elevation. The structure is built of refractory bricks and boiuid se- curely with structural steel beams and plates at certain points not shown in the diagram. The lower part of the furnace, usually below the charging floor level or carried below the shop level, consists of the chambers, connecting flues leading to a reversing valve and thence to a regenerator stack. Referring again to the main body of the furnace it will be noticed that the hearth, which is practically a shallow dish lined with "siKca" sand is fused into one sohd mass at a high temperature at the time of what is known as "making bottom." This is the laboratory where the raw material is melted and refined to steel of any desired composition. In outhne the practice is as follows and refers to the opera- tion of a miniature open hearth fired with fuel-oil being recommended in preference to producer gas in capacities of less than five tons per heat. After the furnace has been brought up to a working temperature — white heat — a mixture of acid pig iron and low phosphorus steel scrap usually in the proportions, one-third pig and two-thirds scrap, is charged into the furnace, adding the pig iron first, and when that becomes molten, following with the scrap. The whole mass subsequently becomes liquid by means of the oil flame passing above it. At this stage the temperature of the furnace has been lessened through the addition of the cold stock, but it will still be at a temperature above that required to melt pig-iron. But in order to elevate the temperature above that required to melt steel and have it in condition to pour, the advantage of the principle of regeneration is available. This consists in returning to the furnace waste heat which in other types of furnaces escapes to the stack. Without a system of regeneration it is not possible to reach a proper steel casting temperature ; that is to say, a reverberatory furnace without regeneration gives a temperature, (where the combustion of the fuel is supported by cold air) , less than that required to properly liquefjj steel, but with the principle of regeneration applied to such a furnace, high temperatures are readily reached. To imderstand this principle we will foUow the course of the flame of the burning oil as indicated by the arrows in the diagram. Begirming 414 Steel Castings in the Foundry at the right hand end oil is deHvered to the burner which is shown surrounded with a water cooled casing to protect the burner fittings. The oil is deHvered either by gravity or pump pressure, but before reaching the end of the burner it is atomized or vaporized by air under pressure. This air is designated as primary air and performs httle or no part in supporting combustion of the oil vapor, and the quantity of air delivered in excess above the amount necessary to promote combus- tion of the oil is known as secondary air. The secondary air enters the reversing valve shown at the stack connection, passes through the right hand regenerator, enters the uptakes below the water cooled burner casing, performs its function and passes along the roof of the furnace, in part, and the remainder, mixed with the products of combustion with the strata of flame plajang above the bath, enters the downtake at the left hand end of the furnace and in its passage to the stack gives up the major portion of its heat to a large quantity of brick work piled within the chamber. When the waste gases have passed through the reversing valve and entered the stack they have just about enough heat to induce the necessary draft. Now, after an interval of twenty to thirty minutes the right hand burner may be shut ofl", but not withdrawn from the furnace; the reversing valve is thrown and the oil and primary air turned on at the left hand end of the furnace. The secondary air will then be diverted by the reversing valve to flow through the left hand regenerator or checker chamber, and passing through innumerable pas- sages in that set of checkers absorbs a large quantity of heat radiating from the glowing bricks which became heated in the first instance by the outgoing gases during a previous cycle of operation. This radiated heat regenerating the secondary air will be added to the temperatiure gener- ated by the burning fuel and the products of combustion will accordingly have an increased quantity of heat to impart to the checker work at the outgoing or right hand end. In other words, whatever temperature may be carried in by the secondary air will be equivalent to an increase in efficiency of the burning fuel. Successive reversals of the fuel, pri- mary and secondary air produce constantly increasing increments in flame temperatures below the melting points of the refractory brick works. We have seen what can be accomplished by storing up and restoring to the furnace waste heat from the products of combustion, producing 4he effect of a higher possible temperature than in any type of melting furnace. In addition to this effect another one is quite active and that is reflection of heat from the walls and roof of the furnace upon the surface of the bath of metal. This latter effect, known as radio-activity, is more pronounced in a narrow melting chamber than in a wider one and conse- Open-Hearth Methods for Steel Castings 415 quently the result will be two factors, one a decreasing fuel consumption and the other the possibihty of superheating steel in a miniature open- hearth. This fact has not been recognized heretofore because most open- hearth furnaces are fired with producer gas, and since that fuel requires pecuKar furnace construction to get the best results in burning it, it has not been found possible to make use of such fuel in a comparatively short furnace hearth and therefore all furnaces designed to use that fuel must have a comparatively long hearth tending mainly in the direction of increased capacities rather than decreased. On the other hand, the length of the hearth is not restricted where oil can be substituted for producer gas and therefore it has been found possible to operate an open-hearth furnace as small as 350 pounds capacity per -heat. Thus a new field is opened to make steel by the open-hearth process. Referring again to the operating method, we saw where the bath of metal was molten and at a moderate temperature. This temperature was due to the fact that the metal was highly carburized, since the presence of carbon lowers the melting point of iron. We saw how it was possible to gradually increase the temperature of the fiu-nace by the regeneration of the secondary air, and with that constant elevation of temperature, dormant chemical actions will be set up. The first effect will be an oxidization of the siHcon occurring mostly on the surface of the metal by the oxidizing action of the flame. The product would be sihca, which combines with whatever oxide of iron might be present in the bath of metal. The combination would form a slag of comparatively Ught weight that would rise to the surface and cover the bath. The slag is shown in the diagram by the heavy black Hne. This layer of slag prevents the metal below from direct contact with the flame. After the removal of the silicon the next action will be the removal of the carbon. This action is a gas-forming one and wiU cause a bubbling or boil through- out the bath. The action can be augmented from time to time by the addition of iron oxide in the form of iron ore. As the decarburization progresses test plugs are taken from time to time, the operator judging the amount of carbon in the bath by their fracture and malleability. When the carbon has decreased to a predetermined point, the boil may be stopped or killed by deoxidizing agents such as ferrosilicon and ferro- manganese in properly weighed amounts. The metal can then be trans- ferred to molds. This method as outhned refers to the acid process. In it the elements sulphur and phosphorus are not removed. The basic process consists of a hearth hning made of magnesite. Such a hning permits an addition of hmestone to form a slag which will absorb the two elements and make a purer steel, chemically speaking, than the acid process, and at the same time allow the use of cheaper and irregular 4i6 Steel Castings in the Foundry raw materials against the acid process with strictly limited chemical composition concerning the two elements mentioned. With open-hearth furnaces designed to use producer gas and which rarely go below five tons capacity it is not possible to adapt them to intermittent operation. Even in the smaller producer-gas fired furnaces the roof span is considerable, resulting in heavy stresses on the side walls. These stresses will vary as the furnace is heated and cooled, and if such alternations are frequent there is danger of collapse of the furnace. It becomes necessary then to maintain them continuously at a steady tem- perature. Unless there should be demand for regular tonnage the fuel consumption during idle periods would be a constant expense. In miniature open-hearth furnaces, owing to the comparatively narrow hearth chamber, the roof span is of course lessened and therefore v/hat- ever expansion or contraction therein following heatings and coolings, wiU result in comparatively slight stresses, and these results decrease in effect with the lessened capacity furnaces, and they therefore lend themselves to intermittent operation with greater ease and lessened liabihty of repairs. The miniature open hearth is most satisfactory in the roUing type with the body cylindrical, so that the stresses even though slight will be evenly distributed, whereas in a rectangular -form the roof will always rest and thrust upon the inside walls. In fact the miniature open hearth is not recommended to be built in the stationary type. In conclusion the miniature open hearth is not costly to install, is comparatively simple to operate, gives results equal to standard open- hearth practice, makes hotter steel than the regular open hearth and . can show costs equally as low per poimd of molten metal in the ladle.

Anthracite Coal Lehigh lump is the best coal for the purpose. It produces a hot iron and melts it rapidly. On account of the cost as compared with coke, it is now Uttle used in districts removed from the anthracite region. A mixture of anthracite and coke, particularly for the bed, gives most excellent results, especially for prolonged heats. Coke When bituminous coal is exposed to a red heat for a prolonged period with total or partial exclusion of air, the volatile matter is driven off and the residuum is coke, containing more or less impurities. The coal used is of the coking variety and to produce good foundry coke should be low in sulphur and ash. Seventy-two hour Bee Hive Coke is most generally used by foundrymen. This has a hard, cellular, columnar structure, with a gray, silvery surface. The smooth, glistening appearance iound in much of it is due to quenching in the furnace. (Weight about 25 pounds to cubic foot.) There will be found in each carload of coke "black-tops" and "black-butts"; the appearance of the former is due to deposits of carbon from the imperfect combustion of the gases at the top of the furnace. They in no way affect the value of the fuel. Black butts, however, come from incomplete burning and contain unconverted coal. These should be accepted only in limited quantities. The following are analyses from different sections: Localities Fixed carbon Volatile matter Moisture Ash Sulphur 89. 58 92.58 80. SI 92.38 87.29 .46 .49 1. 10 .03 .20 .45 9.

Coke will absorb from 10 to 30 per cent of its weight in moisture, depending on exposiu-e. After exposure to a hard storm the increase in weight may easily be 15 per cent. Less pressure of air, more volume and larger tuyere area are required when melting with coke than with anthracite coal. The following specifications for coke from the J. I. Case Co. are given by Mr. Scott. Gk)od clean 72-hour coke, massive and free from granulation, dust and cinder. Per cent Moisture not over i . 50 Volatile matter not over 3 . 50 Fixed carbon not under 86 . 00 Sulphur not over 0.75 Ash not over 11 . 50 Coke which has over 0.85 sulphur, 0.05 phosphorus, less than 85 fixed carbon or less than 5.00 ash will be rejected. I Good foundry coke should be high in carbon, low in sulphur, have good columnar structure, and there should not be a large percentage of small pieces in a carload. The product should be uniform. By-Product Coke Certain chemical works, in the distillation of bituminous coal for ammonia, manufacture coke as a by-product. This, when especially prepared for foundry purposes, gives excellent results. It is darker, harder and more irregular in form than beehive coke. It is high in carbon and low in sulphur, makes a very hot fire and will melt more iron than an equal weight of beehive. The short description of the process of making this coke by Mr. W. J. Keep is given herewith. "The retort oven is a closed chamber from 15 to 24 inches in width, 5 to 8 feet in height and from 25 to 45 feet long. From 25 to 50 of these ovens are placed in a battery. "The coal is charged through three or more openings in the top and levelled off to within a foot of the roof, after which the oven is carefully closed and sealed, in order to exclude the air. The oven is heated by a portion of the gas driven off in the process of coking. This is not burned in the oven itself, but in flues constructed in their walls. The heat is conducted through the walls of these combustion flues to the charges of coal and distillation thereof is started immediately. "The gas which is driven off is conducted through an apparatus in which the tar and ammonia are recovered; after which a portion of the gas is returned to be burned in the oven flues, and the balance disposed of as local conditions determine. Effect of Atmospheric Moisture upon Coke 427 "Distillation proceeds from the side walls toward the middle of the oven and the gas is probably driven toward the center of the oven, where it rises, forming a cleavage plane the whole length of the oven. When the process is completed, which takes place in from 20 to 36 hours, depending upon the width of the oven and the temperature maintained, the whole charge is pushed out by a steam or electric ram and is immedi- ately quenched. The oven is at once closed and, without any loss of heat from the oven itself, is again charged with coal. "On account of the cleavage plane through the center of the charge, no piece of coke can be longer than half the width of the oven." "Owing to the complete exclusion of air, there is no combustion in the oven; and as the temperature of the oven, when the coal is charged, is very high, there is a considerable decomposition of volatile matter with consequent deposition of carbon upon the coking charge. As a result the yield of coke is a little higher than the theoretical yield, as cal- culated from the analysis of the coal. Quenching the coke outside the ovens mars its appearance somewhat, destroying its bright, silvery lustre, but probably results in carrying off an appreciable quantity of sulphur." " Coke made from the same coal will have a slightly higher percentage of fixed carbon and a slightly lower percentage of ash than if made in a retort oven." " The quality of retort oven coke depends upon the skill of the operator, upon the method of preparing the coal and more than all, upon the quality of the coal used. He further says that after having satisfied himself that it was good coke, "in spite of its very bad appearance," by the use of several car- loads, "from that time to this we have never had a pound of other coke. All through 1902 the coke was so uniform and satisfactory that we melted 9 pounds of iron with i pound of coke." EfEect of Atmospheric Moisture upon Coke Under normal conditions, at a temperature of 70° F., 1000 cubic feet of air, equal in weight to about 75 pounds, contains i pound of moisture. Each pound of moisture requires the use of o.io additional pounds of coke. Therefore, every additional i.o per cent to the moisture of the atmosphere requires 0.03 additional pounds of coke to melt one ton of iron. From 20 to 40 per cent of the sulphur in the coke is taken up by the iron in melting. This may be largely reduced by the liberal use of limestone. 428 Foundry Fuels Specifications for Foundry Coke Suggested by Dr. Richard Moldenke Coke bought under these specifications should be massive, in large pieces and as free as possible from black ends and cinders. Sampling Each carload or its equivalent shall be considered as a unit, and sampled by taking from the exposed surface at least one piece for each ton, so as to fairly represent the shipment. These samples, properly broken down and ground to the fineness of coarse sawdust, well mixed and dried before analysis, shall be used as a basis for the payment of the shipment. In case of disagreement between buyer and seller an indepen- dent chemist, mutually agreed upon, shall be employed to sample and analyze the coke, the cost to be botne by the party at fault. Base Analysis The following analysis, representing an average grade of foundry coke capable of being made in any of the districts supplying foundries, shall be considered the base, premiums and penalties to be calculated thereon as determined by the analysis on an agreed base price: Volatile matter i . 00 Ash 12 . 00 Fixed carbon 85 . 50 Sulphur i . 10 Penalties and Bonuses Moisture. — Payment shall be made on shipments on the basis of "dry coke." The weight received shall, therefore, be corrected by deducting the water contained. (Note. — Coke producers should add sufficient coke to their tonnage shipments to make up for the water included, as shown by their own determinations.) Volatile Matter. — For every 0.50 or fraction thereof, above the i.oo allowed, deduct . . cents from the price. Over 2.50 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. Fixed Carbon. — For every i.oo or fraction thereof, above 85.50 add, and for every i.oo or fraction thereof below 85.50, deduct . . cents. Below 78.50 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. Ash. — For every 0.50 or fraction thereof below 12.00, add, and for every 0.50 or fraction thereof above 12.00 deduct . . cents from the price. Above 15.00 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. Sidphur. — For every o.io or fraction thereof below i.io add, and for every o.io or fraction thereof above, deduct . . cents from the price. Above 1.30 rejects the shipment at the option of the purchaser. Fluxes 429 Shatter Test On arrival of the shipment the coke shall be subjected to a shatter test, as described below. The percentage of fine coke thus determined, above 5 per cent of the coke, shall be deducted from the amount of coke to be paid for (after allowing for the water) , and paid at fine coke prices previously agreed upon. Above 25 per cent fine coke rejects the ship- ment at the option of the purchaser. Fine coke shall be coke that passes through a wire screen with square holes 2 inches in the clear. The apparatus for making the shatter test should be a box capable of holding at least 100 pounds coke, supported with the bottom 6 feet above a cast-iron plate. The doors on the bottom of the box shall be so hinged and latched that they will swing freely away when opened and win not impede the fall of the coke. Boards shall be put around the cast iron plate so that no coke may be lost. A sample of approximately 50 pounds is taken at random from the car, using a iH inch tine fork, and placed in the box without attempt to arrange it therein. The entire material shall be dropped four times upon the cast iron plate, the small material and the dust being returned with the large coke each time. After the fourth drop the material is screened as above given, the screen to be in horizontal position, shaken once only, and no attempt made to put the small pieces through specially. The coke remaining shall be weighed and the percentage of the fine coke determined. If the sum of the weights indicates a loss of over i per cent the test shall be rejected and a new one made. Rejection by reason of failure to pass the shatter test shall not take place until at least two check tests have been made. Fluxes The object of a flux is to render fusible the ash from the fuel, sand and rust from the iron, and dirt of any sort, found in the cupola, into slag and to put it in condition for easy removal. Slag always forms to a greater or less extent where iron is melted, but unless a flux is present, it will not be sufficient in volume to give clean iron. Limestone and fluor spar are the most corrimon fluxes in use. There are many compounds furnished for the purpose, but a limestone containing 90 per cent or more carbonate of lime, or oyster shells, furnish as good fluxing material as can be procured. The following is copied from a paper by Mr. N. W. Shed, presented to the Cleveland meeting of the American Foundrymen's Association at June, 1906. 430 Foundry Fuels "The value of fluxes in the cupola is not generally appreciated by foundrymen. Hundreds of cupolas are not slagged at all and the cinder dumps show an immense amount of iron actually wasted. Not only is iron lost by the large amount combined with the cinders, but the more or less variable cinder encloses small masses and shots of iron which cannot be separated. It is a fact that the cinder dumps of many foundries contain more iron than many workable deposits of iron ore, and if these accumulations could be obtained by the Geiman blast fur- naces they would be quickly utilized. Another value of fluxes is their cleansing action on the cupola. A weU slagged cupola has no hanging masses of iron and cinder which require laborious chipping out. The time and labor saved in conse- quence is an item that is well worth considering. In the running of heavy tonnage from a single cupola, fluxes are indispensable. It would be well nigh impossible to run large heats in the same cupolas without using a good flux. The value of fluxes being generally admitted, the question arises, what flux is best to use and how much? There are two available fluxes for the cupola. These are limestone and fluor spar. Fluor spar is much advertised as a flux and the promoters claim that it gives marvellous properties to the iron. The glowing advertisements have evidently deceived the U. S. Geological Survey, for the reports of the Survey speak of its great use and value in foundry practice. " The practical test of fluor spar, made by the writer showed it to be an inferior flux. It did not remove sulphur and the properties of the iron were not improved in the least by its use. There is no doubt of the value of fluor spar in certain branches of metallurgy, but the writer has failed to find a single supporter of its value in the foundry. Limestone is far cheaper than fluor spar and far better as a flux. It makes little difference what form the limestone has so long as it is pure. It may be marble, soft limestone, hard limestone, oyster shells, or mussel shells, but it must be good. A limestone containing over 3 per cent sihca is poor stuff, and one containing any considerable amount of clay should be rejected. There should be at least 51 per cieht of lime present. The sulphur should be below i to 2 per cent. The phosphorus is unimportant. A magnesian limestone would do as well as an ordinary limestone for the cupola. The amount of limestone to be used is variable, depending: First: on the amount of silica in the coke ash. Second: on the amount of siUca or sand adhering to the pig or scrap. Third: on the amount of silica to be carried by the slag. Fluxes 431 The amount of limestone required to flux the coke ash can be figured according to the ordinary method of calculating blast furnace charges. The amount of sand on the pig and scrap is so variable that it is difficult to know just the additional amount of limestone to add. The most practical and easily fusible slag has been found to be a monosilicate, which means having equal amoimts of silica and alkaline bases. Having these variables in mind, we find it a good rule to figure the hmestone on the weight of the coke, using 25 per cent hmestone. For example, if the charge of coke on the bed is 4000 pounds, we use 1000 pounds of limestone. If the next charge of coke is 1000 pounds, we would use 250 pounds of limestone. This amount of limestone will flux any ordinary coke ash with the average amount of sand on pig and scrap. If we know the amount of sand on the pig to be excessive we figure 30 per cent limestone on the weight of the coke. With a low coke ash, machine pig and clean scrap, the limestone may be reduced to 20 per cent and make a good cinder. Many foundry- men are afraid to use limestone, fearing some injury to the iron. This is a superstition for lime has no effect on the iron. There is usually a slight reduction in the amount of sulphur, but owing to the great amount of iron present, the iron absorbs a large amount of sulphur from the coke. If more than 30 per cent is required to make a good cinder and clear the cupola it is evident that either the coke is very high in ash, or else the limestone is high in silica. In the latter case a large amount of lime is used in fluxing its own silica. On account of the frequent variations in the stock, it is a good plan to have coke, limestone and cinder analyzed occasionally. The cinder usually tells about the condition of the furnace. A light brown indicates a small amount of iron and the iron unoxidized. A black cinder indicates a large amount of iron and some oxidation. A shiny metallic lustre shows an excess of oxide of iron due to over-blow- ing or lack of coke. Practically all the lime cinders from a cupola are glossy in appearance, while the cinders with no lime are usually dull and earthy. Occasionally a cinder is found full of bubbles, the color is usually black and shots of iron are found through the frothy slag. This is called foaming cinder, and is made when the last few charges are at the bottom of the cupola. This cinder often rises to the charging door and flows out over the floor. The iron cast at this time is hard and is low in manganese, silica and carbon. With foaming slag a dense smoke of reddish brown color pours out of the stack. 432 Foundry Fuels Analysis of the foaming slag shows the iron to be in an oxidized condition and in large amount. Sometimes the iron will run 30 per cent in frothy cinder, sometimes only 12 per cent. The oxidized cinder and the red smoke show that iron is being rapidly burned in the cupola, and the action going on is very much like the action in a Bessemer con- verter when it is tilted back a little and blown to gain heat by burning the iron. The cinder is oxidized and the red smoke is produced in the same way. In both cases the iron is burnt to oxide, which is quickly taken up by the slag. The oxide in the slag acts upon the carbon in the iron forming a large amount of carbonic oxide, which rises through the cinder blowing it to a frothy condition. There are two ways of avoiding this troublesome condition. If possible, reduce the blast. If the blast cannot be reduced, add more coke. The presence of a good body of coke will stop the burning of the iron, and frothing does not take place. In some cases the loss of sili- con is very serious, and to insure good castings it is necessary to add crushed silicon metal and ferro-manganese to the stream of iron as it runs from the spout. Analysis of cupola slags where no flux is used show from 14 to 28 per cent ferrous oxide. These slags contain 2 to 4 per cent of shot iron mingled with the cinder. This proves that some of the iron must be lost in order to flux the coke ash and sand. If we use limestone as a flux the amount of iron in the cinder is rarely over 3 per cent, showing that the lime fluxes the ash and sand leaving the iron for the ladle. And the question is simply whether we will use iron as a flux at ^18.00 per ton or limestone at ^1.50 per ton. Another point in favor of the limestone is the clean cupola men- tioned in the first part of this paper. Following will be found an analysis of cupola cinder using lime."

With low blast pressure the slag must be thin, to run off readily. When slag wool is freely produced, the indication is that the slagging is satisfactory. A good slag contains approximately 40 per cent of silica and from 28 to 30 per cent lime. If the slag is thin, the metaUic iron will fall through it readily and an increase of lime tends to decrease the oxide of iron. Rusty scrap produces a dark-colored slag caused by the oxide of iron. A large body of slag is favorable to desulphurization, as the amount of sulphur which can be taken up by the slag is limited. At high temper- atures sulphur tends to combine with the slag and under these conditions it has not its greatest afi&nity for iron. Fire Brick and Fire Clay A good brick has a light yellow color, a coarse and open structure, uniform throughout. It should be burned to the limit of contractility. The clay from which it is made should contain as little iron, lime, potash and soda as possible. Analyses op Fire Clays Used por Making Fire Brick Clay loses its plasticity at a temperature above 100° C, and it cannot again be restored.

Fire bricks should stand continuous exposure to high temperatures of the furnace without decomposition or softening; should stand up under considerable pressure without distortion or fracture; should be unaffected by sudden and considerable variations of temperature; should not be affected by contact with heated fuel. Fire Sand 435 Fire brick should be regular in shape and uniform in character. The size of the ordinary straight fire brick is 9 by 4y2 by 2y2 inches, and the weight is 7 pounds. Cupola brick are usually 4 inches thick and 6 inches wide radially. Slabs and blocks are made in sizes up to 12 by 48 by 6 inches. Silica Brick Silica brick are used for resisting very high temperatures. They are composed mostly of silica in combination with alkaline matter. They are somewhat fragile and need careful handling.

It is used in the setting of silica brick and in making the hearths of furnaces. Pure silica melts at 1830° C. 436 Foundry Fuels Magnesite Magnesite contains a small percentage of lime and ferrous silicates with serpentine. The ferrous silicates are separated out; thereupon calcining, magnesia is obtained. The calcined material is then mixed with from 15 to 30 per cent of the raw material, and from 10 to 15 per cent water, then moulded into briclis, dried and burned in the ordinary manner. Bauxite This is a hydrated aluminous ferric oxide, containing usually about 60 per cent of alumina, i to 3 per cent of silica, 20 per cent ferrous oxide and from 15 to 20 per cent water. It is very refractory and, notwith- standing the large amount of ferrous oxide contained, is practically infusible. Calcined bauxite is mixed with from 6 to 8 per cent of clay, or other binding material and plumbago, then molded into bricks. When heated the plumbago reduces the iron of the bauxite, producing a most refractory substance. Such bricks are far more durable than the best fire bricks. They resist the action of the basic slags, as well as that of intense heat. They become extremely hard after exposure to continued heat. CHAPTER XIX THE CUPOLA The cupola is used in ordinary foundry practice in preference to the air furnace, not only on account of its simplicity, but because it melts more rapidly and economically. There are many forms manufactured. All of them are good, but it is doubtful if any furnishes better results than have been obtained from the ordinary old-fashioned cupola so commonly in use, such as is shown in the sketch below. For the advantages of the various styles offered for sale, the reader is referred to the manufacturers' catalogues. The cupola is essentially a vertical hollow cylinder, lined with refrac- tory material, having the top open and the bottom closed, with pro- vision for admission of the charges of fuel and iron part way up on the side, also for admission of air below the charges and for drawing off the melted metal at the bottom. The cupola is divided into five zoiies. First: The Crucible, extending from sand bottom to the tuyeres. Second: The Tuyere Zone, extending kom the crucible to melting zone. Third: The Melting Zone, reaching from the tuyere zone to a point about 20 inches above the tuyeres. Fourth: The Charging Zone, extending from melting zone to charging door. Fifth: Stack, from charging door to top of furnace. The Lining The lining is usually made of two thicknesses of arch brick placed on end with the flat sides in radial planes. Several standard rectangular brick are placed in each ring or course to facihtate the removal of the rings when necessary. Angle iron rings are riveted to the shell at intervals of about six feet, to support the upper sections, when a lower one is removed for repairs. The outer lining is kept about Yi inch away from the shell to pro- vide for expansion, and the interval is filled in loosely with sand and broken brick. 437 438 The Cupola The distance from the sand bottom to the charging door should be about 31/i to 4 times the inside diameter of the lining. For cupolas Fig. 123. under 48 inches, one door is, sufficient; for larger sizes two are more convenient. The doors may be hung on hinges or slide on a circular track above the openings. It is not necessary that they should be lined. Tuyeres 439 At the level of the charging door the lining should be covered with a cast-iron ring to protect it during the charging. The bricks are laid with very close joints in mortar composed of fire clay and sand. The interior lining is daubed with a mixture of one- half fire clay and three-fourths sharp sand for a thickness of three- fourths inch. Any joints are well filled. A handful of salt to a pail of daubing will cause the interior of the shell to be glazed over and will reduce the amount of chipping required. Washing the daubing with strong brine and fire clay serves the same purpose. Tuyeres The tuyeres may be circular or rectangular in section with the bottoms inclining slightly toward the interior of the shell so that the drippings may not run into the wind box. Castings for tuyeres should not be over ^i inch thick. The area of the tuyeres is made from lo to 25 per cent that of the inside fining at the tuyeres; 20 per cent gives good results. As a matter of fact the tuyeres cannot be made too large. A continuous tuyere having an opening about 2 inches in height and extending all around the lining is frequently used. An excellent plan is to have an air chamber all around the outer lining and inside of the shell in the vicinity of the tuyeres; at the level of the bottom of the tuyeres place a cast-iron ring, in sections, on top of the double lining. On this, at intervals of from 7 to 10 inches, so as to divide the circum- ference of the interior of the lining into equal parts, place hollow iron blocks 2 inches wide, 3 inches high and 7 inches long. On top of the blocks place another segmental ring, which ^^' ^^^" shoiild be kept 3 or more inches away from the interior of the shell. Upon this ring the upper courses of the lining are built. This forms a nearly continuous tuyere, broken only by the iron blocks. This construction involves a contraction of the fining at the tuyeres of about 8 inches. The bottom of the tuyeres should be from 10 to 20 inches above the sand bottom, depending upon the quantity of melted iron to be collected before tapping. Where the iron is allowed to run continuously from the spout, as in stove and other foundries doing fight work, the tuyeres may be even lower than 10 inches. Frequently an additional row of tuyeres, having about one-eighth of the main row in area, is placed just below the melting zone. These upper 440 The Cupola tuyeres should be arranged so that the admission of air through them may be regulated. The object is to supply the necessary air to convert whatever carbonic oxide is formed in. the tuyere zone into carbonic acid at the melting zone. The heat developed at these upper tuyeres is such that the Uning near them is often badly cut, therefore, care must be exercised as to the admission of air at this point. A row of adjustable tuyeres about lo inches above the melting zone is most effective in producing the combustion vvithin the charges of carbonic oxide, forced above that zone, effecting thereby not only a saving of fuel, but the suppression of flame at the charging doors. The admission of air above the melting zone must be carefully regulated so that only enough will enter to burn the carbonic oxide. The "Castings" for September, 1908, illustrates a cupola designed by Mr. J. C. Knoeppel, which presents an admirable arrangement of tuyeres and provides for the object above outlined. Two or more of the lower tuyeres, should have slight depressions in the bottoms, to permit the slag or iron, should either reach that level, to run out upon sheet lead plates placed in the wind box in the line of these depressions. By the melting of these plates, and the discharge through the resulting holes, warning is given to the cupola tender, and the accumulation of slag or iron in the wind box avoided. Unless the blast is much higher than good management permits, it will not penetrate the fuel in the cupola for more than 30 inches radially, Therefore, where the inside diameter of the cupola is over 6c inches, it should be contracted at the tuyeres to 60 inches or less diameter; or in place of this a center blast may be used. Large cupolas are fre- quently made oval in section with the same object in view. In the wind box directly opposite each tuyere there should be a small door 5 inches in diameter, fastened with a thumb screw, for access to the tuyeres, to remove any stoppages in front of them; each door should be provided with a peek hole i>i inches in diameter covered with mica. The Breast The breast is made by taking a mixture of one-half fire clay and one- half molding sand, thoroughly mixed and just moist enough to be kneaded. A quantity of this is placed around a bar 13.4 inches in diam- eter and made into cylindrical shape, 4 or 5 inches in diameter and about 6 inches long. This is placed in the opening for the breast, and the bar, while held in a nearly horizontal position, forced down until its bottom is on a line with the sand bottom, and % inch above the upper side of Sand Bottom 441 lining to trough. The inner end of the clay cylinder should be flush with the inside of the cupola hning. Ram hard around this cylinder with molding sand and fill opening for breast completely. Care must be taken that this clay cyhnder is well secured in place. Remove the forming bar and enlarge the hole toward inside of cupola, leaving only about 3 inches in length of the original diameter from the front. The slag hole is made up in same way, but should be only one and a half inches long. A core about 2H inches in diameter may be inserted for the slag hole, and this dug out, when tapping for slag, until opening is sufficiently large, say about i inch diameter. It sometimes happens that the breast gives way during the heat. In such an event, the blast is shut off and the cupola drained of iron and slag. The defective part of the breast is removed, and replaced with stopping clay, which is hammered with the side of a bar, well against the surrounding portion of the breast. The remaining hole is then filled with clay, carefully packed so as not to be driven to the interior of the cupola. Through this clay a tap hole is made by gently inserting the tapping bar and enlarging the hole after the ball of clay has been pene- trated. In from fifteen to twenty minutes the clay will have been baked hard. The blast can then be turned on and melting resumed. This operation must be conducted with great care, as the operator is in danger of being severely burned. Swab the lining from the bottom to 2 feet above the tuyeres with clay wash and salt, and black wash the tapping hole formed as above described. Sand Bottom The sand bottom is made from gangway sand passed through a No. 4 riddle. This bottom should be about 8 inches thick. It must be well rammed, especially next to the lining, where it should join with a liberal fillet. It must not be too wet. Care must be taken not to ram the bottom so hard that the iron will not lie on it quietly. The bottom should slope in all directions towards the tapping hole, the slope being one inch in four feet, and it should reach the tapping hole exactly on a level with its lower surface. Black wash the bottom, build a light wood fire and dry out the lining thoroughly. The bottom doors should have a dozen or more %-inch holes drilled through them to allow any moisture in the bottom to escape. The doors are held in place by an iron post under the center, which can readily be knocked out to drop the bottom. The breast should be made up before the bottom. 442 The Cupola Zones of Cupola The crucible zone extends from the sand bottom to the tuyeres. The object of this zone is to hold the melted iron and slag. If the tap hole is kept open continuously, this zone may not be over 4 to 6 inches in depth from sand bottom to bottom of tuyeres. If it is to hold a large quantity of melted iron, the tuyeres must be correspondingly high. Metal can be melted at a higher temperature with low tuyeres, (collecting it in a ladle), than by holding it in 'the cupola. Tuyere Zone This is where the blast enters in contact with the fuel. Here com- bustion begins. This zone is confined to the area of the tuyeres. The combined area of the tuyeres should be about one-fifth that of a section of the cupola at this point, and should also largely exceed that of the outlet of the blower. It is important to keep the tuyeres as low as the condi- tions of the foundry, as to amount of melted iron to be collected at one tap, will permit. With low tuyeres the iron is hotter, there is less oxida- tion and the fuel required on the bed is less. Melting Zone The melting zone is the space immediately above the tuyeres. It extends upward from 20 to 30 inches, depending upon the pressure and volume of the blast, increasing in height with increased pressure. No iron is melted above or below it. The melting occurs through the upper 4 to 6 inches of that zone. Charging Zone This zone is that part containing the charges of iron and coke, and extends from the melting zone to charging door. The stack is the continuation of the cupola from charging door through the roof. Contracting the stack above the charging door has no influ- ence upon the efficiency of the cupola. The spouts should be lined with fire brick. Above the fire brick bottom at center of trough, there should be iVi inches of moulding sand. From the center the sand should slope rapidly each way to sides. The sand lining of trough at' center should be % inch below the tap hole. After lining, trough should be black washed and dried. Stopping material is made of one-half fire clay and one-half moulding sand. It is the common practice to leave the top hole open until iron begins Chemical Reactions in Cup)ola 443 to run freely, in order to prevent freezing at the hole. This causes the oxidizing of considerable metal, and is unnecessary. The following method may be pursued. Just before the blast goes on, close up the inner end of the tap hole with a ball of greasy waste, then ram the remainder of the hole full of moulding sand. This is easily removed with the tapping bar, and does away with all the annoyance of escaping blast and sparks. Chemical Reactions in the Ordinary Cupola with Single Row of Tuyeres When the air blast comes in contact with the burning coke, its oxygen unites with the carbon of the coke to form carbonic acid (CO2), as the result of complete combustion. As the temperature above the tuyeres increases to that necessary for melting iron, part of the CO2 seizes upon the incandescent coke, takes up another equivalent of carbon and is converted into carbonic oxide (CO). If the supply of air is in excess of that required, the CO, being combustible gas, takes up another equivalent of oxygen and is burned to CO2. Again some of the CO2, parting with an equivalent of oxygen to the iron for such oxidation as occurs, or by the acquisition of another equiva- lent of carbon from the coke; or by both, is reconverted into CO. These reactions take place at or near the melting zone. After passing that zone, no more air is supplied, and the products of combustion, consisting of CO and CO2 pass up the stack without further change until reaching the charging door. Here air is admitted, the CO is supplied with oxygen and is burned to CO2. If the air supplied at the tuyeres is insufi&cient for complete combus- tion, the evolution of CO is increased and the efficiency of the furnace reduced. On the other hand, an excessive supply of air is objectionable, as a reducing flame (that from CO) is desirable to prevent oxidation of the metal. For the complete combustion of one pound of carbon, there is required 12 pounds, or about 150 cubic feet of air, developing 14,500 B.t.u.; but the combustion of one pound of carbon to CO requires only one-half the air, and the resulting heat is 4500 B.t.u.; hence for whatever portion of the fuel is burned to CO, there is a loss of over two-thirds its heat- producing value. For the purpose of saving this waste heat, an upper row of tuyeres, just below the melting zone, is employed; and to utilize the heat which escapes above the melting zone, tuyeres have been introduced with good results, at from 5 to 10 inches above that zone. By the use of 444 The Cupola the latter tuyeres the heat developed is absorbed by the charges in the stack, and the flames at charging door are suppressed. Where such tuyeres are used, they must be provided with means for easily regulating the admission of air. The following table taken from West's Moulders' Text Book gives the quantity of air required for the combustion of one pound each of coke and coal. Combustibles, I pound weight Weight of oxy- gen consumed per pound of combustible, pounds Quantity of air con- sumed per pound of combustible Total heat of ' combustion of I pound of Pounds Cubic feet at 62° F. combustible, units of heat Coke, desiccated Coal, average 2.51 2.46 10.9 10.7 143 141 13,550 14,133 By reason of the contact of the molten iron with the fuel, changes in- atmospheric conditions, the amount of air used, and other conditions, the same mixtiu-e may produce different kinds of castings at different times; and there may also be variations in the same heat. Chemical Reactions in the Cupola The complete combustion of one pound of carbon to CO2 requires: 2.66 pounds of oxygen or 12.05 pounds of air and develops 14,500 B.t.u. The burning of one pound of carbon to CO requires: 1.33 pounds of oxygen or 6.00 pounds of air and develops 4500 B.t.u, Therefore one pound of coke, having 86 per cent fixed carbon requires for complete combustion 2.66 X 0.86 = 2.29 pounds oxygen or 12.00 X 0.86 = 10.32 pounds air and develops 14,500 X 0.86 = 12,470 B.t.u. The 10.32 pounds of air less 2.29 pounds oxygen leave 8.03 nitro- gen. Wind Box 445 Taking the specific heat of oxygen at 0.218, carbon at 0.217, nitrogen at 0.244. The temperature resulting from the complete combustion of one pound of coke to CO2 is 12,470 ^ o p 0.217 X 0.86 + 0.218 X 2.28 + 0.244 X 8.03 ^' That resulting from the combustion of one pound of coke to CO is 3870 . ^ O p 0.217 X 0.86 + 0.218 X 1.15 + 0.244 X 4.015 Hence for every pound of coke burned to CO, instead of CO2, there is a loss of 8600 B.t.u., and a reduction of the resulting temperature of 1983° F. Taking the specific heat of cast iron at the average of temper- atures between 2120° and 2650° F. as 0.169, and the latent heat of fusion as 88 B.t.u., and assuming the temperature of the escaping gases at 1330°, then the heat wasted is (i330°-7o°) X (0.217 X o-86 + 0.218 X 2.28 + 0.244 X 8.03) equals 3330 B.t.u.; . and the heat available for melting iron is 12,470 — 3330 = 9140 B.t.u. for each pound of coke having 86 per cent fixed carbon. For I pound of iron melted at 2650° F. (or 2580° F. above atmosphere) the number of heat units required is 2580 X 0.17 = 439 to which must be added the latent heat of fusion giving 439 + 88 = 527 B.t.u. Therefore, - — = 17.^4 pounds of iron, which should be melted by ' 527 ' ""^ ^ • one pound of coke, if all the carbon was converted into CO2 and the gases escaped at 1330° F.; also neglecting the heat lost in the slag and by radiation. Wind Box The area of cross section of the wind box should be three or four times that of the combined area of the tuyeres, in order that there may be sufficient air reservoir to permit a steady pressiu"e. There should be two or more doors in the box for ready access in cleaning out when necessary; and also for admission of air when the wood fire is started. As before stated, there should be small doors opposite each tuyere. The blast pipe ought, if the situation will permit, to enter the box on a tangent, and box should be continuous. If it is necessary to divide it into two boxes, on account of the tapping or slag holes, there must, then, of course, be a blast pipe for each box and they should enter the boxes vertically. The bottom of the box should be provided with at least two small openings opposite the alarm tuyeres, which are covered with sheet lead. These should be so placed that slag or iron running through them will be at once seen by the tapper. 446 The Cupola The manufacturing of cupolas for the trade has become an important industry, and although the designs of the various makers differ largely in details, the essential features in all are the same. Perhaps the names best known to the foundry industry are: CoUiau, Calumet, Newten, Whiting. All of these give good results. For special information reference should be made to the manufacturers' catalogues. The melting capacities based on 30,000 cubic feet of air per ton of iron are given in the following table.

The charging platform should not be more than 24 inches below the bottom of charging door for sizes up to the 48 inch; for the larger sizes not over 6 to 8 inches. The Blast The air for the blast is supplied by centrifugal blowers of the Sturte- vant tj^e, or by Positive Pressure Blowers of the Root type. Both are efficient, and it does not appear that either has any special advantage not possessed by the other. For successful melting a large volume of air at low pressure is required. From 8 to 10 ounces pressure will usually be found sufficient; in no case should it be allowed to exceed 14 ounces. As a rule 30,000 cubic feet of air per ton of iron are allowed. This is somewhat too small, especially if the air contains much moisture; 35,000 cubic feet per ton is better practice. With blast at low pressure and with high temperature in the furnace, iron may gain in carbon during the process of melting. The reverse may occur, however, under contrary conditions. Oxidation increases with the intensity of the blast. The Blast 447 The castings produced by low blast pressure are softer and stronger, the loss by oxidation is less, there is less slag, less expenditure of power and less injury to the lining of the cupola. Coke requires less pressure and more volume of air, as well as greater tuyere area than coal. Low pressure, large volume, large tuyere area and good fluxing tend to prevent choking at the tuyeres. However, too much air must be avoided as it reduces the temperature of the furnace and may produce dull iron. The main blast pipe should be as short, and the tuyeres as few as possible. Its diameter should be greater than the outlet of the blower. For each turn allow three feet in length of pipe. The minimum radius of the turn should not be less than the diameter of the pipe. It should be provided with a wind gate, and, where a pressure blower is used, an escape valve, both under control of the melter. The wind gate should be kept closed until after the blower is started to prevent gas from collecting in the blast pipe. For the same reason, the blower should, if possible, be located lower than the wind box. At the commencement, the blast should be low, and gradually in- creased to the maximum as the heat progresses, then dropped toward its close. The friction of air in pipes varies inversely as their diameters, directly as the squares of the velocities, and as the lengths. The table below shows the loss in pressure and the loss in horse power by friction of air in pipes loo feet long; corresponding losses for other lengths can readily be calculated therefrom.

Dimensions, Etc., of Cupolas 451 The quantities of air in the left-hand column of each division indicate the capacity of the given blower when working under pressures of 4, 8, 12 and 16 ounces. Thus a No, 6 blower will force 2678 cubic feet of air at 8 ounces pressure through 50 feet of 121-4-inch pipe with a loss of \i ounce pressure. If it is desired to force the air 300 feet without an increased loss by friction, the pipe must be enlarged to 17H inches diameter. The table below gives the important dimensions, distribution of charges and melting capacities of cupolas from 24 inches to 84 inches diameter inside of lining. The table is based upon the consumption of 3 5, 000 cubic feet of air per ton of iron and represents the best aver- age practice. Higher fuel ratios are frequently realized and the foundrymen must vary the fuel and air supply as the conditions indicate. It is imwise, however, to strive for high fuel ratio at the risk of a dull heat. The loss on castings from one melt may far outweigh the saving on coke, as between the ratios of 10 to^i and 9 to i, for many heats. Coke is one of the cheapest articles about the foundry; while hot, clean iron is an item of the highest importance. In general the cupola should furnish 20 pounds of melted iron per minute per square foot of area of the melting zone.

The doors in the wind box or, two or more of those covering the tuyeres, should be left open to admit air to the fire. The wood should be covered with coke for a depth of from 12 to 15 inches. Where wood is scarce or expensive, the coke may be lighted directly with a kerosene oil blow torch. To use the torch place two strips of boards 3" X i" on edge from the tap hole to center of cupola. Then place other strips of same size crosswise of the bottom forming a shallow trough about 6 inches wide in the shape of a T. Large pieces of coke are placed over the trough to form a cover, and on top of this coke is spread uniformly for a depth of about 15 inches. The torch is then applied at the tap hole. After the fire is lighted and the top of the coke bed becomes red, enough coke is added to bring the top of the bed 20 inches above the tuyeres when the wood has burned out. The necessary amount of coke for bottom is determined by gauging from the charging door. The proper depth of bed is a matter of great importance. Too much is as bad as too little. With too much coke, the melting will be slow and dull; with too little the iron after commence- ment of heat becomes dull, the cupola is bunged up and the bottom may have to be dropped. The Charging Floor 453 There should be sufficient coke to locate the top of the melting zone about 20 inches above the tuyeres, and the subsequent charges of coke should be just enough to maintain this position. With proper depth of bed, the molten iron will appear at the spout in from 8 to 10 minutes after the commencement of the blast. The first and subsequent charges of iron should be of the same weight, and these should be small. The amount of coke between each charge of the iron and the preceding one should be 10 per cent of the iron. In many foundries the coke between the charges is made less than this, but 10 per cent is good practice. It is not the best policy to run the risk of making a poor heat by cutting down the coke. The charges should be continued as indi- cated until the cupola is filled to the charging door. In charging care must be taken to distribute both iron and coke uni- formly. The pig iron (broken) should be charged first, beginning at the lining and proceeding toward the center, pigs should be placed sidewise to the lining. Next comes the scrap; if there are large pieces, they should be placed in the center of the cupola with the pig surrounding them. The iron must be kept well around the lining and care exercised to avoid cavities. If the scrap is fine, it must not be charged so closely as to impede the blast. After the iron comes the coke, which must be evenly distributed throughout. After the second or third charge, lime- stone, broken into pieces about i}^ cube, is added. From 25 to 40 pounds of limestone per ton of iron is used according to the character of pig and scrap as to sand and rust, and to that of coke as to ash. The top of the bed should not be permitted to drop more than 6 or 8 inches during the heat. This determines the weight of iron for each charge as well as that of the coke, the latter having a depth of 6 or 8 inches. The weights of all the materials going into the cupola should be kept separately. The melter should be furnished each day with a charging schedule giving the composition and the weight of each charge. The fire should be started about two hours before the blast is put on, to allow the charges in the stack to become well heated. The openings in the wind box are closed immediately after starting the blast. The egg-shaped section at the melting zone, which the cupola gradually assumes by use, should be maintained. The Charging Floor The charging floor should be large enough, if circumstances permit, to accommodate all the materials for the heat. Each charge of pig iron and scrap, after weighing, should be piled by itself and in the order in 454 The Cupola which it is to be used. The proper amount of coke for each charge is placed in cans or baskets. In larger works where the material is brought to the platform on charging cars, the cars are arranged so as to reach the cupola in proper order. The cuts show two different meth- ods of charging at large foundries. At one the charging is done by hand and at the other by machine. While the material is handled more rapidly and at less expense by the latter method, it is doubtful if the saving effected compensates for irregular melting and lack of uniformity in product, which is likely to result from unequal distribution of the charges. 125 Charging Floor.

Melting Losses Melting losses in a well-managed cupola should not exceed 4 per cent for the annual average. Instances are known where the losses for long periods were not over 2 per cent. The following records are taken from the report of the secretary of the American Foundrymen's Association, and cover the results from 41 cupolas. The percentage of castings made and the returns are calculated from the quantities given and added to each table.

Note. No. 12 was omitted in obtaining these averages. Evidently there was something wrong about this heat as shown by the excessive returns. Melting Ratio 461 The figures in the preceding table are to be taken as approximations. The loss may be reduced in practice by careful management. When the weight of the coke on the bed, and the weights of the iron and coke in each charge are known, to determine the necessary amount of iron which must be melted to produce a desired melting ratio: Let X = the total iron; Y = the total coke; A = weight of coke on bed; B = weight of coke in each charge; C = weight of iron in each charge; D = the desired melting ratio. (i) Then f = D, F = ^ total coke (2) (3) and -f; = the number of charges. The total coke is found in equation (4) (4) Y = {.^-i^B+A. From equations (2) and (4) X = -~ — =-ir-^ C — DB (5) Having found the total amount of iron, the total coke and number of charges are found from (2) and (3). By applying these formulas to a 54-inch cupola as given in table on pp. 451-2 the required weight of iron to be melted to produce a melting ratio of 9 to I may be found. Melting Ratio Weight of coke on bed ^ = 1100 pounds Weight of coke to each charge B = 180 pounds Weight of iron to each charge C = 1900 pounds Required melting ratio Z) = 9 to i pounds From equation (5) 1900 X 9 (iioo — 180) . ^ ^ ^ 1900 - 9 X 180 = 56,185, Y = — = 6243 pounds. And the nimiber of charges 56,185 ^-^-^ = 29.57. 1900 ^^' Coke may be charged from dumps, as it can be uniformly spread. 462 The Cupola The cupola should be kept full to the charging door until all the iron is in. Later the sweepings from the charging platform may be thrown on. The platform should, if possible, be large enough to accommodate the materials for the entire melt. Each charge of pig and scrap should be weighed and piled by itself; the coke kept in convenient charging buckets, and the broken limestone in a bin from which it may be charged by measure, above the coke. Appliances about Cupola The conditions will indicate the necessity for elevator and charging cars. In every foundry yard there should be a cinder mill and scrap breaker. In many foundries the cinders are frequently ground in the tumbling barrel. It is purely a matter of convenience; but locating the cinder mill in the yard promotes cleanliness, especially when broken fire brick are ground. The cinder mill is made up of cast-iron staves from 8 to 10 inches wide and of convenient length, placed about polygonal heads; the latter mounted on trunnions, and the whole rotated slowly by any suitable means. The staves are so placed that there is not over an eighth of an inch opening at the joints, in order that the shot iron may not escape. Magnetic and hydraulic separators are frequently used to recover the shot, and they effect large savings. The scrap breaker is located conveniently to the cars, or placed where heavy scrap is received. It consists of a derrick and ball with hoisting apparatus. The height of the derrick should be from 30 to 40 feet and the ball should weigh 2500 to 3000 pounds, both depending on the probable dimensions of the largest scrap. The sketch below shows a simple and effective device for tripping the ball. Ladles Hand ladles, and shank ladles holding 200 pounds or less, are best ' y-v % made of sheet steel, as they are f \ \ much lighter and are easily repaired. A // These, as well as larger sizes, to be handled by cranes, are furnished by Fig. 128. , . / , ■, the foundry supply nouses. It is usually best to tap into a fore ladle. This is kept under the spout, and has sufficient capacity to hold one entire charge. From it © The Bod Stick 463 the smaller ladles are filled. By making large tappings, the various grades of iron in the cupola become thoroughly mixed in the fore ladle. The iron in the ladle is kept hot by covering the surface with charcoal or slacked lime. In English practice the Fore Hearth is largely used instead of the fore ladle, but its use has not met with favor in the United States. An illus- tration of this arrangement is shown on page 248 of McWilliams and Longmuir's General Foundry Practice. Lining of Ladles The ladles are lined with a mixture of one-half fire clay and one-half sharp sand. With small ladles the lining is from % inch to iH inches thick on the bottom and gradually tapers to 14 to % inch thick at the top. Large ladles have first a lining of fire brick, then the clay daubing. After the linings are completed they must be thoroughly baked either by placing the ladles in an oven or by building wood fires in them. It is customary to reline the small ladles after each heat. The larger ones, if completely drained of iron, may, by chipping out and patching, be made to last over many heats. The skulls from ladles are rattled with the cinders. Shanks for ladles holding 100 pounds and upwards are commonly made with single and double ends. The better practice is to make both ends double, the helper's end having a swivel joint. With this type of shank the helper can use both hands in carrying and two men can handle a 200-pound ladle easily. The iron bottoms of the larger ladles should have 10 or 12-%-inch holes through them to permit the escape of moisture. Tapping Bar The tapping bar is usually made of i-inch gas pipe, having a long tapered point (24 inches in length) welded to it at one end. Frequently the tapper stands along one side of the spout, and opens the tap hole with a single-handed bar. He carefully picks away the center of the bod, until a hole is made through it, then enlarges the hole to ¥s inch, or an inch, according to the stream desired. The Bod Stick The bod stick is an iron bar about i inch in diameter, having at one end a flat disc 2H inches in diameter. To this disc is attached the clay bod, used in stopping up the tap hole. In stopping the stream of iron, the bod, placed above the stream at the tap hole, is forced down- 464 The Cupola Table Showing Capacities of Ladles with Bottom Diameters Depth Diameter of ladle at bottom, inches 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 Ins. 2 4 ■ 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 30 32 34 36 38 - 40 42 44 46 157 318 483 652 825 1002 1 183 1368 1557 1749 1946 2149 191 334 585 788 997 1210 1427 1648 1873 2102 2337 2576 2821 227 459 696 938 1 185 1436 1693 1954 2221 2492 2769 3050 3337 3630 267 538 815 1096 1383 1676 1973 2276 2585 2900 3221 3548 3880 4218 4560 309 624 945 1272 1604 1942 2286 2606 2992 3353 3720 4093 4472 4807 5248 5645 356 717 1084 1457 1836 2221 2612 3009 3412 3821 4237 4660 5089 5525 5968 6417 6871 7329 403 812 1228 1651 2080 2516 3142 3408 3863 4325 4793 5268 5750 6238 6734 7237 7747 8261 8781 455 917 1,385 1,860 2,342 2,830 3,326 3,829 4,339 4,855 5.378 5,911 6,451 6.998 7.552 8,114 9,682 9,258 9,840 10.42S 510 1,026 1,550 2,08s 2,62s 3.172 3.726 4,288 4.856 5.432 6,016 6,608 7.208 7.816 8,432 9,054 9,694 10,332 10,978 11,630 12,288 48 For steel add 5% 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 64 66 68 wards into the hole squeezing off the stream. Many severe burns have been caused by stopping directly against the stream. The spout is sometimes made with a side opening to carry off slag running on the stream of iron. This opening is made about the middle of the spout, and the trough in that vicinity is somewhat increased in width. About 2 inches below the side opening a fire brick is placed across the trough, leaving room below it for the iron to pass, but being low enough to skim off the slag, which runs out of the side at the opening. A swinging spout is occasionally used. This is hung on a pivot below the spout proper, and in a transverse direction.

In rapid melting this obviates stop- ping up when ladles are changed. Applying Metalloids in Ladle Where metalloids are added to the iron, if the amount to be used is sprinkled into the stream as it flows through the spout, a more intimate mixture is obtained than results from placing the material in the ladle and drawing the iron on to it. 466 The Cupola Cranes The equipment of cranes as to size, style and motive power is indi- cated entirely by the character and volume of production. Ample and convenient hoisting facilities are absolutely essential. A mistake is seldom made in providing cranes of too great capacity. Most of the modem foundries are fitted with electric traveling cranes, which not only have access to the cupola, but sweep over the moulding floors. In addition to the electric crane, post and wall cranes are supplied for special requirements. There should be a small jib crane attached to the cupola for handling the fore ladle. The manufacture of cranes has become a specialty, and the reader is referred to manufacturers' catalogues for special information. Spill Bed In many foundries the excess iron, and iron on the bench floor, is frequently dumped into holes in the sand heaps or floors. This is a slovenly practice and greatly injures the sand. A very convenient and simple spill bed is shown in Fig. 129. This is so made that the iron is collected in pieces weighing from 60 pounds to 80 pounds, of convenient size to be handled in charging. A small bed of same character serves an excellent purpose when placed near the snap floors. Dumping Spill Bed Fig. 129. Gagger Mould Gagger Mould 467 Fig. 130. By a little care all the excess iron may be put through beds as above and sent to the cupola in good shape for melting. The usual practice is to allow the bottom to remain where it drops until the next morning, simply wetting it thoroughly. Below is shown a sketch of a large rake. If the bottom is dropped on this and the mass pulled out from under the cupola (by means of a Fig. 131. chain passing through a snatch block to the crane) and then wetted down, it will be found in much better shape for picking over in the morning. The pieces of unconsumed coke should be picked out and used in core ovens, or as part of the last charge of coke, in the cupola. Little savings of this kind, although small of themselves, amount to an impor- tant item in the course of the year, particularly if the operations are extensive. CHAPTER XX MOULDING SAND Moulding sand contains from 75 to 85 per cent silica, with varying proportions of alumina, magnesia, lime and iron. The essential properties are: Cohesion, Refractoriness, Permeability, Durability, Porosity, Texture. Cohesion or Bonding Power Moulding sand must possess sufficient cohesion, not only to remain in position after ramming, but to resist the pressure of the molten metal, and its abraiding action while being poured. Pure sand has no cohesive strength, but clay (double silicate of almnina) has, and as moist sands cohere more strongly than dry, the bonding power must depend on the amount of clayey matter and water contained. The moisture must not be in excess, otherwise the sand will pack too densely. Permeability and Porosity Permeability is the property which sand possesses of allowing liquids or gases to filter through it, and depends on the size of the pores. By porosity is meant the volume of pore space. These properties are not the same. A sand may contain a few large openings through which the liquids or gases may readily escape and yet have a small pore space. On the other hand, the total pore space may be large, but by reason of the small size of the pores, permeability by either liquids or gases might be difficult. The permeability of sand may be influenced: By the tightness of packing; By the size of the grains; By the fluxing elements in the sand. By tamping or packing, the space occupied by a given weight of sand may be reduced, as the grains are forced into their closest arrange- ment producing the minimum pore space. Fine-grained sands have larger pore space than coarse-grained. 468 Texture 469 If silt or clay are present, and segregated, the sand will pack more closely than if the grains are cemented together in the form of com- poimd grains. In the latter case the permeability and porosity would be larger than if the grains were separate. The decreased permeability under increased tamping explains why some good sands behave badly. Permeability of sand is also influenced by the amount of water present. The relation between permeability and fluxing impurities is shown in the process of casting. If the clayey particles filling the interstices of the sand fuse when heated by the metal, their coalescence in melting will close up the pores to some extent. For this reason, in part, a high percentage of fluxing impurities is undesirable. The proper permeability of a moulding sand is a matter of vital importance. A pathway must be opened for the escape of the gases to avoid blowing. The finer the sand the lower its permeability. Refractoriness A moulding sand must be sufficiently refractory to prevent complete fusion in contact with molten metal. Highly siliceous sands are, there- fore, the more desirable. At the same time a high percentage of silica is gained at the expense of alumina and a consequent loss of bonding power. Generally silica should not exceed 85 per cent. Silica is refractory, does not shrink when heated, but has no cohesive nor bonding power. Alumina, a most important component, is present in moulding sands in amounts varying from 4 to 12 per cent. It is refractory, has great bonding power, but shrinks greatly when heated. Too high a percentage of alumina makes the sand impermeable. Durability Sands begin to lose some of their desirable qualities after one or more heats and become dead or rotten. The injury to the sand arises from its dehydration, or loss of combined water by the heat of the molten metal, whereby its bonding power is destroyed. The water of com- bination cannot be restored. The amount of sand burned is a layer of varying thickness next to the casting. Texture By texture is meant the percentage of grains of different sizes. This is determined by passing the sand through a series of sieves of decreas- ing mesh and noting the percentage remaining on each sieve. Mr. W. G. Scott pursues the following method: "Ten grams of sand are placed on the loo-mesh sieve, together with ten jie steel balls, and shaken with a circular motion for one minute. 470 Moulding Sand o c H cs fl ajT) O W 0) III fi d ca a-2 S 05 .' d c3 (h K 3 Ills WW fe« 00(000 000<0<£>(MP«0'+OtM'NVOON0 OOWiNOClOOlOl-l rl-VO in Ol fO -^VO . 1/1 1/1 rc ro 001000>M':l-Tf(NrOOO-l' rOO 00 ■*N<0 ^0"00 l-l VO ■* Jxnoo lO t^XXO l> M rovo ■* •^ lO t^ lO »00 t^H TrM(5j>-^-*i-iN oio M o ooot^CTiO oo>t^t~i/oa«rooovo t~in t~0 t^ CTi lo t- ■^ t^ 10>0 N CPi(Miii^rod HroiNMN r<;M ts m ■■^•*mcsm mcscs Nio >* •<*00 '*0 0'OlO000VO^O0«5VOM0 "*0 N •* lO l-l ' ' m' h' ' ' ro ■ M ■ ' ' ' 6^ ' w oo' ' w lo h ' ' k6 NMMOirOw •* MM S ID a^" g o "cu o ■^, 6-2 S ^- r d ^' D oj Orri ■e ^- Is.^^. ^ i 03 >.^ Pi ^ ^ OwwOM oi S ^!^^ o lu 'I Texture 471 The sand passing through is weighed and credited to the 100- mesh sieve. That which remains, together with the balls, is emptied on the 80-mesh sieve and the operation repeated. In like manner sieves of varying size up to 20 mesh are used. The preceding table shows the texture or sand from different localities. " Lime is a fluxing element. If present as a carbonate, it loses its carbonic acid under heat, and in excessive amount the gas causes the mould to flake or crumble. Caustic lime fluxes and forms slag on sur- face of castings. Magnesia is also a flux, and to a modified extent has the effect of hme. Iron, as a carbonate or an oxide, if present in the mould near the casting, is converted into ferrous oxide, which is a flux. Combined water is present in all sands containing clay, carbonate of lime or gypsum. It is driven off at a low red heat and increases the porosity of the sand. Moulding sands are not always used alone. One or more grades are frequently mixed together. Blending is extensively practiced at the pit as well as at the foundry. In addition to blending to increase cer- tain physical properties, foreign substances, such as ground coal, graph- ite, molasses, flour, beer, linseed oil or cinders are used, either to increase the bonding power or permeability of the material. A sand deficient in its natural condition" may be greatly improved by "doctoring." The sand from any one deposit does not always run uniformly, and with- out previous careful examination of the shipments, unfavorable results may appear in the foundry. The following table, taken from "The Iron Age," gives the analysis of eight different samples. Constituents Silica Alumina Ferric oxide . . . .

Such sand should be entirely free from lime. 472 Moulding Sand Specifications of W: G. Scott, Racine, Wis. "Moulding sand for iron work generally contains from 75 to 85 per cent of silica; 5 to 13 per cent of alumina; less than 2.5 per cent lime and magnesia; not over 0,75 per cent soda and potash and generally less than 5 per cent oxide of iron; not more than 4 per cent of water. " Sand for Brass Sand for brass may contain a much higher percentage of iron and lime without detriment. All moulding sands contain more or less organic matter. Carbonate of lime must not exceed 1.5 per cent for iron sands, nor 234 per cent for brass. Iron oxide must not exceed 5.5 per cent for iron nor 7 per cent for brass sand; organic matter not to exceed i per cent. Any sand showing an excess of 13 per cent alumina will be rejected.

Prof. Ries, from whose paper the above notes are extracted, concludes that the chemical analysis of moulding sands are not of as much impor- tance as their physical properties. To test the "temper" and strength of sand, the moulder squeezes a handful into a ball. If it takes the impression of his hand readily and leaves the hand clean, it is considered sufficiently damp. Its strength or binding power is tested by lifting the lump from one end, or by carefully breaking it apart; or he may squeeze a ball of sand about a little stick or nail and see if it can be lifted by the stick. He then blows through it to test its porosity. Such crude tests are in constant use and, conducted by experienced moulders, serve the purpose. A. E. Outerbridge instituted a series of experiments to determine these characteristics more definitely. The following is extracted from a paper read before A.S.M.E., at their New York meeting in 1907. "A number of test bars of green sand 6" X i" X 1" were made imder uniform conditions of pressure, dampness and quality of material used in forming the ordinary mould. These little test bars were placed upon a smooth metal plate with sharp square edges. The bars were then pushed over the edge of the plate until they broke, when the amount of the overhang was measured. It was soon found that there was a great difference in the length of the overhang, which was regarded as a quantitative measure of the toughness of the sand. These differences were not even noticeable in the crude ball test. Samples taken from different parts of a small sand heap that had been uniformly dampened, or tempered, varied greatly in this respect, owing no doubt to the irregular distribution of the alumina or clay binder; and the correctness of this inference was subsequently confirmed by simple analytical tests. After a sufficient number of these test bars had been made and broken to prove the reliability of the method, further tests were devised to ascertain whether the usual methods of riddling and mixing the sand for the moulder's use affected its quality either by increasing or decreasing its toughness, as shown by the amount of over- hang of similar test bars of green sand. It was proved that the more thoroughly the sand was worked, the greater the overhang, due, as al- ready stated to the more uniform distribution of the binder. "The ideal moulding sand is a material in which the individual grains of silex, constituting approximately 90 per cent of the mass, are com- pletely covered with an overcoat of alumina or clay and the more uniform the grains are in size and shape, the better is the sand with respect to porosity in relation to the average size of the grain. "It was found on passing a sample of sand a number of times through 474 Moulding Sand a handriddle, and making test bars from the sample after each riddling, that the overhang was increased measurably. Thus, a sample of sand, which, after tempering and mixing by hand with a shovel, showed an overhang of less than two inches of the test bar, increased to nearly three inches after a dozen riddlings. It would not be practicable to treat large masses of sand in this manner, nevertheless, the informa- tion thus obtained was quite valuable and led to important practical results. "Another novel observation was concurrently made, viz., that the increased toughness and porosity noticed in these tests might be partly due to "aeration" or to the separation of the grains of sand when falling from the sieve to the floor. In order to discover the truth or falsity of this view, a quantity of sand was shaken in a box with a closed lid for several minutes and test bars were made before and after shaking. The correctness of the theory was quickly shown, for the shaking with- out sieving proved to be more effective than the sieving without shaking. Tests for porosity were also made, but these were not very satisfactory owing possibly to lack of suitable means of controlling and measuring the compressed air." Using one of Wm. Seller's & Co. 's centrifugal sand mixers, the develop- ment of which was largely due to Mr. Outerbridge's experiments, a series of tests were made with facing sand prepared as follows: Strong Sand Parts Strong Lumberton sand (new) 14 Gravel (new) 7 Flour sand (old) . 6 Coal dust 2 Fig. 132. — Green Sand Test Bars made from One Sample of Sand. "Fig. 132 is from a photograph showing eleven bars 6" X 1" X i", made from strong sand under uniform conditions of quantity, temper (dampness) and pressure. Testing Moulding Sand 475 "The bar labeled o was pressed from a sample of the sand after having been dampened and turned over several times, with a shovel, and only partly mixed. The object of such preliminary mixing is simply to prevent the coal dust from flying out of the centrifugal ma- chine on subsequent treatment. "The other bars were made from the same pile of strong sand, after passing through the centrifugal machine from one to ten times. These bars were laid side by side upon the smooth metal plate, resting upon a table, and were slowly pushed over the edge of the plate until they broke." The following table gives the measurements of the overhang of each bar as nearly as the somewhat irregular shape of the break permitted. Inches 214 • ■■■ 3 •• 3H 3^ 3H ■ ■••• 3^ 3H 3% 3^ 3% • 3% No. length of overhang No. I No. 2 No. 3 " No. 4 " No. 5 " No. 6 " No. 7 No. 8 No. 9 " No. 10 " "It will be observed that the first treatment increased the overhang % inch, the subsequent treatments increased the overhang in some cases H inch, and in some cases not measurably. The first treatment was, therefore, the most effective, and for practicable purposes one treatment is often sufficient to insure good mixing of the materials and thorough disintegration of any lumps. "The strain tending to break the sand beam is increased by the additional weight of the increasing length of the overhanging portion, and also by the increased moment of its center gravity. It is readily seen, therefore, that an increase in length of the overhang of % inch on the first treatment in the centrifugal machine means an increased tenacity of 75 per cent. In like manner an increase in overhang of 50 per cent means an increase in strength of sand of 225 per cent. The illustration. Fig. 133, shows the fractured surfaces of the same bars. "Bar No. o shows the heterogeneous components of the partly mixed sand, while the other fractures show increasing uniformity due to more thorough mixing, and disintegration of lumps up to No. 3, after which no further increase in uniformity is observable to the eye. 476 Moulding Sand Fig. 133. — End View of the Test Bars in Fig. 132. The illustrations convey a very fair impression of the actual appearance of the bars. The appearance of the fractured surfaces coincides with the tests for overhang, and shows that a single treatment in this machine is in many cases sufficient, and two treatments are all that are usually needed with any sand mixtures. In mixing core sand containing flour, the effectiveness of this method is still more strikingly evident, owing to the almost total disappearance of the white flour, due to its thorough commingUng with the sand and coal in one treat- ment. The centrifugal machine is especially efficient in mixing sharp sand with lin- seed oil for cores. When so used it is run at a lower speed than when used for tempering and mixing moulding sand. Two treatments are sufficient to insure thorough mixing of sharp sand and oil for cores. There are many other devices for tempering and mixing sand mechan- ically, such as, shakers, revolving reels, etc., which are effective. The amoimt of cohesive matter, or binder, in moulding sand should be limited to that which will permit good ramming, without destroying its porosity, so that the gases will escape readily, without allowing the iron to penetrate. The sand in a mould next to the casting is burned and loses much or all of its cohesion. This is due to driving off the water of combination in the alumina which cannot be restored. The thickness of the layer of burned sand depends upon the size of the casting and temperature of same. It is impossible to separate all of this burned sand after the removal of the castings. Much of it gets mixed in the sand heaps, which must be strengthened from time to time with new sand . Aside from the loss of combined water and increase in iron content, chemical analysis shows little difference in the composition of new and burned sand. This is shown in the table on page 437, made by analyz- ing the same sand before and after using. In general, moulding sand must possess the following requirements. It must be sufficiently porous to allow the free passage of air and the gases generated in casting. It must resist high temperature without fusing. Moulding Sand Requirements 477 It must permit of easy removal from the cold castings. When rammed into shape it must, be firm and sufi&ciently compact to resist the pressure of the liquid metal. It must be strong enough to resist the abraiding action of the stream of metal entering the mould.

Many green sands dry into friable masses. Such sands must be mixed with some substance to give them strength. For such purpose, flour, stale beer, molasses-water, or clay-wash may be used. When flour is used, it is mixed in the proportion of one to twenty or thirty, depending upon the character' of the sand. With some sands the flour may be dispensed with and the sand strengthened sufficiently with molasses- water or clay wash. In dry sand moulds, only one or two inches of the sand next the pattern are of the prepared mixture. The remainder of the flask is filled with ordinary heap sand. This should be as open as possible to permit the ready escape of the gases. The facing should likewise be as open as can be safely worked. The amount of moisture should be about the same as is used in green sand. Dry sand facings must be thoroughly well mixed. Mr. West gives the following mixtures for dry sand facings.

It should be passed through a No. 8 riddle to remove the dust and very fine particles. The coarse material mixed with new sand works well. Skin Drying Instead of making dry sand moulds which are baked in the oven, moulds are more frequently "skin dried." Skin dried moulds are essentially the same as "dry sand" except that the drying does not extend to as great depths and the facing is not as strong. For skin dried moulds mix with ordinary heap sand about i to 30 flour. After the mould is finished sprinkle with molasses water. The mould is dried either with the kerosene blow torch, or fire of wood, coke or char- coal, built in iron baskets which are placed in the mould. Often the mould is covered with sheet iron and fires are built on top of the iron. In drying copes, they are suspended and fires built under them." Before drying, the moulds are brushed with black wash, made of plum- bago and water, to which a little molasses water or clay wash is added. Sometimes moulds are black washed after drying. Core Sand Core sand should be high in silica and low in alumina. A sand con- taining much alumina does not permit the ready escape of gases after baking. Analyses of Core Sands (W. G.

Magnesia Alkalies .54 .05 1.05 .15 Combined water Organic matter "Since the greater portion of a core is to be entirely surrounded by metal, the sand of which it is composed encounters conditions much 480 Moulding Sand more severe than those met with by facing sands. Three conditions must be noted. First. — The core is subjected to much handling. Second. — The gases generated in casting must find egress through the core and not through the metal. Third. — The core has finally to be removed from the casting. "All cores, before entering the mould, are dried, and in this condition must be hard enough to permit handling, and porous enough to admit the free escape of gases. Yet the sand must not be burned or converted into a compact mass by the heat; if so, it will be extremely difficult to remove from the casting. "A sand high in siUca should yield the best results. To such a sand the necessary bond must be added. An ideal core sand is one in which the silica is given bond by the addition of an organic substance, which produces a firm core, capable of withstanding high temperatures and resisting the penetrating action of fluid metal. Such a core is friable in the cold casting, and is, therefore, easily removed. "If bond is given to silica by clayey matter alone, then the metal bakes the cores hard, and renders their removal difficult. "A hard surface imparted to the sand by ramming is fatal, as fluid metal will not lie on it, but a hard surface resulting from the binder does not necessarily represent an impervious one, and fluid metal will usually lie quietly on it. Heat tends to loosen a sand made hard in this way, instead of fusing it. Core Mixtures "There should be just enough bonding material in a core mixture to coat each individual grain of sand, without filling the interstices between the grains, and the value of the core depends greatly upon the thorough- ness with which the mixture is incorporated. Too much attention cannot be given to this feature. As a rule mechanical mixers give the best results. The binders in common use are Flour, Linseed oil, Glue, Rosin, Molasses, Rosin oil. In addition to these there are many commercial binders of more or less value, all of them designed to offer a binder cheaper than those above mentioned. Cores made with flour, glue or molasses soften quickly when exposed to dampness. Therefore they must be kept in a dry place, or used soon after they are made. The moulds in which they are placed should be Dry Binders 481 poured shortly after the cores are set. If allowed to stand for a period of 24 hours, the cores should be taken out and dried. Cores made with glue are very friable when hot and must be handled with great care. Less gas is given off by them than by those made with any other binder. Glue cores leave a smoother hole and do not require to be blackened as do flour cores. Flour is mixed with sand in proportions varying from i to 18, to i to 30, depending upon the strain which the core is to resist. The weaker the mixture, the more readily the gas escapes. Glue is first soaked in warm water and then boiled untU entirely dis- solved. Glue water should consist of 2 pounds of glue to 3 gallons of water. This mixture is sufficient to treat 100 pounds sand. Rosin must be first pulverized; it is then mixed with sand in propor- tions of I to 20, or I- to 30, as required. Rosin oil is used i to 18, or i to 24 as the requirements of the case indicate. Molasses, mixed i to 20 water is used more for spraying cores to give a hard surface, than for entire mixtures. Linseed oil with sharp sand, mixed about i to 30 furnishes the best core of all binders. It is strong, porous and is easily removed from the casting. For light, delicate cores, such as gas engine and automobile work it is unequaled. Large percentages of old cores, gangway sand and moulding sand may be used in the core mixtures. Core sand should be quite damp for use, but not so wet as to adhere to the core box. Wet sands require much less binder than dry. A saving may be made in the use of flour by boiling it thoroughly and then using the paste (very thin) to wet the sand. As already mentioned, the more thoroughly the binder is incorporated with the sand, the better will be the cores. Mr. A. M. Loudon made an extensive series of experiments to deter- mine the comparative values of various core binders, and published the results in a most interesting paper presented to the American Foundry- men's Association at the Cleveland meeting 1906. From it the follow- ing extensive extracts are made. Dry Binders Test No. I. — Flour sand core mixture. _ Parts New moulding sand 2 New fire sand i Flour I to 12 and i to 18 Wet down with thick clay wash. 482 Moulding Sand Cores from this mixture are usually very strong. If not thoroughly dried or if slightly burned or scorched, cause great trouble by blowing or scabbing. Cores were removed from castings with difficulty. Be- came damp in mould quickly, especially small cores. Test No. 2. — Syracuse dry core compound mixture. Old flour sand H New moulding H Sharp or beach H One part binder to 35 parts sand thoroughly tempered with water. Cores made from this mixture dried quickly, were clean and sharp and left good surface on castings. Resisted dampness well. Mr. Loudon states that the dampness test for each mixture was to dip a core partly in water, allowing it to stand after removal from the water for two or three days to air dry only. Iron was then cast in an open mould around the end which had been immersed. Test No. 2. — Included the water test as did all the other tests for dry and oil binders, the conditions being the same for all. The binder used in Test No. 2 stood the water test in a manner en- tirely satisfactory. The hot iron came in contact with the core without any distiubance. This binder in Mr. Loudon's judgment is best suited to large plain work, or small round and square cores. Test No. 3. — Dextrin or British gum mixture. Per cent Old flour sand 50 New moulding sand - . . 25 Beach or sharp sand 25 I part binder to 150 parts sand, tempered with water. This mixture was valuable for large cores, strong, with sharp edges and easily dried. If the cores are burned in the oven, wash with some of the binder dissolved in water, and dry in oven for ten minutes. They are thus completely restored. For small intricate cores the following mixture was used. Per cent Old sand 33 New moulding sand , 33 Sharp sand 33 I part dextrin to 100 parts sand. A core from this mixture was treated by the water test, and allowed to stand for two days. It resisted the action of melted iron better than cores from many mixtures, when fresh from the oven. Dry Binders 483 Test No. 4. — Wago core-compound mixture. Per cent Old sand 33 New moulding sand 33 Sharp sand 33 I part Wago to 30 parts sand. Made a good core; did not gum the box, and gave off very little smoke. A second mixture made from Wago: Per cent New moulding sand 50 Sharp sand 50 I part Wago to 35 parts sand. Unusually strong, true and sharp, but not as easily removed from casting as the first mixture with Wago. One of these cores was dipped in water and left for two days to air dry. The melted iron was perfectly quiet when poured around it. Test No. 5. — Cleveland core-compound mixture. Per cent Old sand ^^ Sharp sand 33 New moulding sand 33 I part binder to 30 parts sand tempered with warer. Strong core, easily removed from casting, very satisfactory for general use. A mixture i part binder to 40 sand was tried, but cores were too soft. Cores from the i to 30 mixture when submitted to the water test gave excellent results. Test No. 6. — Peerless core-compound mixture. Per cent Old sand 33 Sharp sand S3 New moulding 33 I part binder to 30 parts sand. The mixture as above given was unsatisfactory, therefore, the follow- ing mixture was tried. I part binder to 20 parts sand. This was satisfactory, being strong and true to box, but harder to remove from castings than most of those previously tested. It gave good results when submitted to the water test. The iron showed no signs of blowing. 484 Moulding Sand Tests Nos. 7, 8, 9 were made from samples of flour submitted. Sand mixed in same proportions as before. Thus, the first sample of flour was mixed with 15 sand, the second sample of flour was mixed with 18 sand, the third sample of flour was mixed with 20 sand. These were made as comparative tests of the different samples of flour. 1. Made the strongest core, but was the most difi&cult to remove from the casting. 2. Good for general work. 3. Was too soft. A mixture of i to 18 from 3 to 9 was good, better than Nos. 2 to 8 in same proportion. Each of the above mixtures was subjected to water test and failed. When withdrawn from the water and held in hori- zontal position, they broke at the line of submersion. Nos. 2 and 3 were not as good in this respect as No, i. The cores from the peerless compound and most of the others resisted the water so that it could be wiped off with a rag without injuring the cores. Test No. 10. — Paxton dry compound mixture. Per cent Sharp sand ^^ New moulding sand 33 Old sand 33 I part compound to 30 parts sand, made a very soft core. When mixed i to 20 it made a very strong core. One of these when subjected to the water test went to pieces, while the last mixture made a strong open core. It is readily affected by moisture. Liquid Core Binders Test No. II. — Holland linseed mixture. Parts Sharp sand 30 Oil I Made a strong core for small and medium shapes, but required vent- ing. A core from this mixture immersed in water for half an hour was returned to the oven and dried. It was then as good as any which had not been immersed. Test No. 12. — Syracuse core oil mixture. Parts Sharp sand 35 Oil I Moulding Sand Mixtures 485 Tempered with water and well mixed. These cores were excellent; without vents were not satisfactory. A core from this mixture was immersed for 15 hours, taken out and dried in the oven for 15 minutes. Molten iron when cast about it showed no disturbance. Tests Nos. 13, 14, 15. — Sterling oil samples from each of above were mixed at same time. Mixture p^^^ Sand ic Oil ;:.:::; i Nos. I and 2 of these samples showed too much oil. No. 3 was about right. Another mixture was then made. Parts Sand 4^ Oil :::::::; i Nos. I and 2 dried out quickly and made good strong cores, but when subjected to the water test the moisture acted quickly upon them, more so than on the other sand and oil mixtures. The cores were strong and were easily cleaned from the castings, but moulds which were left over night, and poured the next day blew very badly. Test No. 16. — Gluten or Esso mixture. p^^. ^^^^ New sand 33 Sharp sand 33 Old sand ^^^ Gluten I part to 30 parts sand Cores were so hard that the iron would not lay to them. One part gluten to 50 parts sand, — cores were good, sharp and strong. Iron somewhat disturbed. The gluten was mixed with water and the sand tempered with water. One part gluten to 70 parts sand. These cores were soft and did not stand the fire as well as the others. When subjected to water as before I to 30 stood very well, I to 50 became soft, I to 70 melted like sugar, showing that for a free core, one not inclined to blow, i to 70 took moisture very quickly. Test No. 17. — Glue melted in hot water mixture. p^^. ^^^^ New moulding sand 25 Sharp sand 25 Old sand 50 I pound of glue to 100 pounds of sand for small cores. I pound of glue to 150 pounds of sand for large cores. 486 Moulding Sand Lump or granulated glue, the cheaper the better. The glue water was made by dissolving two pounds of glue in three gallons of water. Cores from the first of the glue mixture when submitted to the water test absorbed water but held their shape. After redrying were as good as when first made. Should such cores be burned in the oven, washing them with a mixture of plumbago and glue water restores them. Mr. Loudon highly recommends the first of the above glue mixtures, using it for cores without vents for small port cores. Cores made from it can safely be used for all purposes, taking care to have them thoroughly dried. Cores for large beds have remained in the mould three and four days without causing trouble. Test No. i8. — Glucose melted with hot water mixture. „ Per cent Sharp sand 33 New moulding sand 33 Old sand 33 I pound of glucose to 100 pounds of sand. Cores of every description were first class, easily dried, easily cleaned from casting, emitting no smoke. They acted like green sand cores, dried and gave good results in every respect. Parting Sand The particles of burned sand, having been deprived of combined mois- ture will not cohere. Such sand, taken from the cleaning room, is used to separate the parts of the moulds and is also dusted on patterns to prevent the moulding sand from adhering to them. A most excellent parting sand for intricate work is made by saturat- ing very fine burned sand with kerosene or crude oil, and setting fire to the mixture. Lycopodium is also used for parting in particular work, but the high price subjects it to adulteration. Facings When molten iron comes in contact with a sand mould it tends to penetrate the pores of the sand and to fuse the particles in immediate contact, leaving a rough surface or scale, varying in thickness from Mi to H of an inch, depending on the weight of the casting. Facing sands containing large percentages of carbonaceous material are used to prevent this difficulty and to leave smooth surfaces on the castings. The carbon of the facing is decomposed by the heat, and the Facings 487 gases generated prevent the hot iron from attacking the sand. Facing sand which is composed of ground coal (sea coal), and sand in the pro- portions of from I coal to 8 sand, and i coal to 20 sand, depending upon the character of the work, is placed next to the pattern in a layer from y2 to i>2 inches in thickness. Back of this and completely filling the flask is the heap, or floor sand. By the continued use of facing the floor sand becomes black with it. The term facing includes Sea coal, Coal dust, Plumbago, Charcoal. Talc (or soapstone). It must adhere to the surface of the mould and cause the casting to peel when shaken out. Sea coal is a ground bituminous gas coal, free from sulphur and slate. It is mixed mechanically with new moulding sand in the proportion of I to 10, usually, and used generally on all work. For the purpose of obtaining smoother and brighter surfaces than result from the use of sea coal alone as a facing, the moulds are finished with plumbago or some mixture of which plumbago is the base. Plumbago is the best of all materials for this purpose. Soapstone is used largely in connection with plumbago as an adulter- ant, as also are coke dust and the dust of anthracite coal. The facing is applied to the mould either by hand, with a camel's hair brush, or it is mixed with molasses water and applied by a spray or with a brush. The latter method is usually used on dry sand moulds. Mr. W. G. Scott gives the analysis of Yougheogheny gas coal, from which the best "sea coal" facing is made as follows: Per cent Moisture i .00 Sulphur o. 33 Volatile matter 35 • 00 Ash 5 . 60 Fixed carbon 58.07 Specific gravity i . 28 Cannel coal is also used as facing and analyzes as follows: Moisture 3 . 30 Sulphur o. 20 Volatile matter 48 . 50 Ash 6 . 00 Fixed carbon 42 .00 Specific gravity i . 229 "Sulphur and ash are the two constituents of sea coal to be guarded against. If sulphur exceeds 0.75 the coal is inferior, and if sulphur is in excess of 1.5, the coal is unsuitable for facing. "Facing containing over 11 per cent ash ought not to be used. "Slack and culm are often ground and used as adulterants, but are readily detected by the amount of ash present. 488 Moulding Stand Graphite Facing "Pure graphite contains about 99 per cent carbon, but this degree of purity is not found in the natural product. A high grade natural graphite contains 75 per cent carbon; inferior grades contain from 15 to 65 per cent. "As the regulation method of determining carbon in facings is to burn off a weighed amount of sample and call the loss carbon, an un- scrupulous dealer may add coke or anthracite dust sufficient to raise the carbon content to any desired point. "Adulterations of this sort may be determined in several v/ays. "If several small beakers are filled with water and pure graphite, coke dust, anthracite dust, soft coal dust or charcoal are carefully sprinkled on the surface of the water, each in a separate glass, none of the powder will settle except the coke dust and some charcoals. This test eliminates coke dust and non-greasy charcoals. By shaking in a test tube H gram of the sample with 15 c.c. of acetone and allowing the mixture to stand 10 or 15 minutes, it will be seen that the pure graphite settles clear, leaving the liquid colorless. Coke imparts a gray to the solution and remains in suspension a long time; anthracite coal imparts a faint brown color and settles more rapidly; soft coal dust imparts a deep brown color. "The above tests are qualitative only. Equal parts of glacial acetic acid and sulphuric ether answer as well as acetone for this test." The following analyses from Scott of graphite, coke dust, coal and charcoal give a general idea as to the character of the diflFerent forms of carbon.

"Treat 0.5 gram of sample with 50 c.c. of strong nitric acid, boiling about 10 minutes. Then add 0.5 grams of pulverized potassium chlo- rate and boil until most of the chlorine is off. Dilute with 30 c.c. of cold water and filter, reserving the filtrate for examination. The filtrate from pure graphite treated in this manner should be clear and colorless unless iron is present, in which case it may be some- what yellow in color. The filtrate from any kind of coal and charcoal will have a distinct amber brown color, the soft coals giving a deeper color than the hard coals or charcoal. To confirm the test add 30 c.c. of stannous chloride solution and note the change in color. The graphite filtrate will be reduced to a colorless liquid if iron is present, or remain unchanged if free from iron; whereas the filtrate from the coal having an amber color will be much deeper in color and in some cases nearly black. The only caution to be observed in this test is sufi5cient boiling to remove all of the hydro- carbon coloring matter in the coal. The determination of magnesia is the only method to be rehed upon for detecting the addition of soapstone to graphite. Mixed with graph- Facings 401 ite or anthracite dust, it answers very well for certain classes of work. Facing made entirely of anthracite or mixed with a low grade of natural graphite is termed Mineral Facing and is represented by one or more letters X to designate the fineness. Such facings may be added to wet blacking; or mixed with graphite, may be used on heavy work. All facings should be kept in a dry place as they readily absorb mois- ture. A high grade of plumbago makes the most suitable facing for producing bright clean castings. A good plumbago must not only have the proper chemical analysis, be of such refractory nature as to withstand the hot iron from cutting into the mould, but must also be of such a nature as will not retard the flow of the molten metal." CHAPTER XXI THE CORE ROOM AND APPURTENANCES The important relation which the core room bears to the foundry- product demands the most careful consideration as to location, con- struction and equipment. Unfortunately for the core maker, such con- siderations have been neglected in many foundries. Whatever could, has been made to serve so long as the imperative demands were satisfied. Good castings cannot be made without good cores. Their production requires the same attention and forethought as the making of good moulds. Constant intercornmunication between the moulding floors and core room, the handling of sand, fuel and ashes, etc., point to a location affording the greatest accessibility to the moulding floors and to the storage for sand and fuel. The core room should be well lighted and ventilated. The space allotted should be ample, not only for the convenience of the workmen but for storage of supplies, movable equipment, core plates, etc., so that the place may be kept neat and orderly. The arrangement of the work benches, machinery, cranes, racks, etc., must be governed by circumstances. The oven is the important feature in the core room. Where the cores are not very large and the demand for them not very great, some form of portable oven may answer the purpose. Many varieties are made, adapted to small and medium work. The convenience offered by them in placing and removing cores before and after baking, the small floor space occupied and the small fuel consumption commend them for light work. Most large foundries have one or more of these ovens. Where great quantities of small cores are required, some form of con- tinuous oven is frequently used. An oven with a revolving reel is very desirable for medium-sized work. The sketch below is taken from West's "American Foundry Practice," page 133. "The oven is round, with an upright cast-iron shaft, having five flanges on which to bolt plates or arms XX, the shape of which is shown at B. This oven is built with an 8-inch brick wall to form the outside and a cast-iron plate for the top, on which plate is a box D, to 492 The Core Room and Appurtenances 493 which a cap can be bolted to hold the top of the shaft, the bottom of which rests in a cast iron seat. "The fireplace should be outside of the circle, as shown, so that the cores will not get the direct heat from the fire. In building the walls, hinges HH, should be built in for hanging the oven door. Fig. 134. "This door should be made in two pieces, so as to open to the right and left, and should be the full height of oven, to provide for putting cores on the top shelves. "The chimney should have a top flue, as well as a bottom one, as shown at PP and dampers in both, so as to throw the heat down or up, as required. "When starting a fire, both dampers should be open, and when the cores to be dried are on the top shelf, the bottom damper may be closed, and vice versa. "This style of oven is very handy for drying cores that can be lifted by hand, and will hold and dry more cores with less fuel than any oven I know of. Should you want to dry a single core quick, put jt on the top shelf and turn it round to the fire. "This oven can be filled with cores and they can be taken out again without going farther than the door, which alone is of great value to the core maker. "The size of this oven was about 8 feet in diameter and 7 feet high." The oven was heated with a cast-iron fire basket. On page 135 of same book is shown a sketch for a small oven of which Mr. West speaks very highly. The advisability of building such an oven is somewhat doubtful, however, in view of the great variety of portable ovens on the market which can be purchased at a reasonable price. 494 The Core Room and Appurtenances For large cores the dimensions of the oven are governed entirely by the requirements of the foundry. Unless the drying of large moulds is comtemplated, it is not advisable to make an oven more than 12 feet wide by 20 feet long. Where greater capacity is required, it is better to duplicate it, on account of the greater loss of fuel in large ovens, which are not stored to their full limits. Fig. 135. — Core Oven. Among the sketches of large ovens shown by Mr. West, that on page 227, "Moulders' Text Book," presents a most excellent design. An en- larged sketch is given above. The dimensions may of course be varied to suit the requirements. Mr. West in describing ovens of this design says: "They surpass any I know of for properly drying moulds or cores. Although we use The Core Room and Appurtenances 495 slack or soft coal for the fires, a mould or core will when dry, be almost as clean as when first put into the oven. Another important feature is that the ovens will dry rapidly and still not burn a mould or core. " Three ovens are fired from one pit, the draft flues being at the extreme ends of the oven and the channel for heat to travel being di- verted from side to side. There is but a small chance for heat to escape entering through the joints and thickness of the boiler plate up into the oven, before it can enter the flue at F, H and K. The arrow-like lines represent the heat passing from the fires to the flue. The partitions X divert the direction of the heat and also support the covering plates and carriage tracks. The covering plates, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are boiler iron M inch thick, cut into sections the width of the flue partitions. The plates on the outside of the track are free at any time to be lifted in order to clean out the soot. Where the fire enters the first flue or partition,'' the boiler plates are left out, and in their place a cast- iron plate ¥2 inch thick, having prickers 2 inches long (on underside) and daubed up with fire clay is used. This is to prevent the direct flame from buckling and burning out the plates. There are no holes whatever in any of the plates, the heat passing through them and their joints, which of course are not air tight, heat up the oven. Were there holes in the plates, they would seriously injure the draught of the under flues, and also let much of the smoke into the ovens, thereby destroying essential points to be overcome in using slack for firing. To be able to fire with slack or soft coal, and stiH keep moulds and cores free from soot is something that wifl be appreciated by all moulders and core makers that work around ovens. Not only does soot make everything look dirty, but it is more or less productive of rough castings. "Another arrangement which I doubt being found in any other foundry oven is that for preventing smoke. Upon each side of the fire- places, about on a level with the fire, are %-\nch. openings, seen at E in elevation. In. the rear of these openings the brick is left open about 4" X 6", running the entire length of the fireplace. This opening gives a reservoir in which the air becomes heated before being drawn into the fireplace. This is, I believe, claimed to be beneficial in assisting 'smoke burning' or combustion." The grate surface for the fire contains an area equal to about 32''X 38". "The fireplaces are all faced with one thickness of fire bricks, and the tops of fireplaces are arched over with fire bricks. Under the large oven are two fireplaces. The one nearest core oven is used for heating 496 The Core Room and Appurtenances the same, and is so constructed with damper arrangement, that should an extra heat be required in the large oven, both of the fires can be turned on to it. "As shown at D in elevation of oven, each one has a small manhole door, whereby the flue leading to the chimney K can be readily cleaned. "The tops of the ovens are covered with a series of arches. "Upon the tops of these ovens we store and keep shop tools, etc. The way the tops are formed, tons of weight can be laid upon them and do no harm; and the combined area of the tops makes a splendid store- room for systematically keeping foundry tools. " "Altogether the ovens are a success, and a credit to their designer, the late Mr. Hallo way. " Note. — Only one ol the ovens is shown in the sketch. The other two are in all respects the same as the one shown. Another excellent design for a large oven is shown on page 129, West's "American Foundry Practice." A description of one good oven is all that can be permitted here. The essential requirements for an oven are good draught and means for regulating it. Where the fire is made directly in the oven, as is frequently the case, there should be openings into the chimney at the top and bottom, with dampers for changing the direction and regulating the draught. There should also be a damper on top of the chimney so as to retain the heat when the fire is not urged. Aside from coal and coke, crude oil and natural gas are used for heating. The temperature of the ovens should range from 450° to 900° F. and must be varied somewhat according to the core sand mixtures. Flour sand requires a higher temperature than rosin or oil. The workmen soon learn the part of the oven in which the drying is most rapid and place the cores where they will dry quickly or slowly as re- quired. A pyrometer is a most valuable attachment and will often prevent the destruction of cores by overheating. The doors to these ovens are usually made in one piece of sheet iron and are provided with counter weights, so as to permit of being raised or lowered easily. In some cases they are made of overlapping, plain or corrugated strips, which are wound upon rollers. Core Oven Carriages These are mounted on wheels having anti-friction bearings. The top of the carriage extends over on each side as far as convenient. The carriages have usually three or more decks as required. The whole Wire Cutter 497 is made up of bars and angles properly trussed, and left as open as possible, for the passage of hot air to the cores. The track should be evenly laid, so that there may be no jarring as the car passes over it. Mixing Machines Machines for this purpose are of greatest value to the core room. The worth of a binder and that of a core depends largely upon the thorough incorporation of the components of the core. Each individual grain of sand should receive a coating of the binding material, but the latter should not be present in such quantity as to fill up the pores of the sand. To accomplish this result requires long-continued manipu- lation. The best results are obtained by a mechanical mixer, driven by power or by hand, as the conditions permit. A machine of this sort is indispensable in a well-appointed core room. There are many different kinds on the market. The centrifugal machine is, perhaps, the most desirable. Sand Conveyors Many of the large foundries are provided with sand elevators and conveyors, whereby the sand after mixing is carried to the bench of each core maker and delivered through spouts. The necessity for appliances of this sort will be indicated by the extent and character of the work, simply bearing in mind that the core maker should have the sand delivered to him. Rod Straighteners Core wires and rods by use become crystallized, and bent in all manner of shapes; so that it is not unusual to find about core rooms, large heaps of material of this kind, which are picked over by the core maker in search of what he requires. In this condition it is practically worth- less; therefore the expense for wire and rods is not inconsiderable. By annealing they may be softened, and if then passed through a straight- ener are rendered serviceable. Both hand and power machines for this purpose are made. Wire Cutter A machine' for this purpose is very useful where there are many small cores of a kind to be made. Otherwise the common hand cutter serves the purpose. 498 The Core Room and Appurtenances Sand Driers A sand drier is frequently very desirable. A simple one can be made by taking a sheet-iron cylinder from, 15 to 20 inches in diameter, and say 5 feet long. Surround this by an inverted sheet-iron frustum of a cone, having a diameter at the base such that the space between it and the cylinder may contain any desired amount of sand. Near the intersection of the cone and cylinder there should be two or more small shding doors. Mount the cylinder on a grate for coke; provide a cover for the top for checking the fire. This costs little and will dry sand very rapidly. The cut below shows a drier in frequent use. The Champion Sand Dryer Capacity, 20 tons daily. Requires less fuel and has greater capacity than any of the dryers now in use, and being made of cast iron throughout, will outlast any made partially of sheet iron. The parts, being made interchangeable, can be replaced at any time. Set the dryer upon a solid foundation, and first placing casting No. i. in position, follow up with the other casting as numbered.

Fire lightly, being careful not to get the dryer too hot. Never leave the dryer full of sand with a fire in it; and do not attempt to use it for heating purposes, as it radiates no heat outside the casing. Fig. 136. Core Plates and Driers A great variety of core plates, varying in sizes, is required. These plates are usually rectangular and for sizes less than 12 X 20 are li inch Cranes and Hoists 499 thick. Larger plates are thicker. Each must be smooth and true on one side; on the opposite side are cast stiffening strips. Larger plates are of sizes and shapes required. For work of extreme accuracy, the plates should be planed on one side. The exposure of these plates to frequent heating and cooling finally warps them to such an extent that they become unserviceable. There should- be racks for the storage of these plates so that any size desired may be quickly found. Irregular shaped cores which cannot be turned out on fiat plates, or which must be supported in drying, require iron shapes made to conform to one of the surfaces of the core. The shapes are in reality portions of the core boxes. The cores are baked on them, thereby retaining the original form when dried. The expense for driers is often great, therefore they should be handled carefully, and put away with the core boxes to which they belong. Core Machines Where great numbers of small cores of uniform cross section, round, square, oval, polygonal or rectangular are used, a core machine is of the greatest value. One of these machines will make 200 or 300 linear feet of small core in an hour. The cores are pushed out of a former as sausage from a sausage machine, on to metal drying trays. The cores are cut up into lengths as required and pointed to fit the prints. There are several different machines of this kind made, but the differences are not important. Machines Moulding machines are used in making cores for plain work, where the demand for the product warrants. Machmes for making straw rope. These are little used except in pipe foundries. It occasionally happens in a jobbing foundry that a rope body for a core is required. In such a case the rope is made by hand. Straw rope is furnished by supply houses at low cost. Cranes and Hoists The requirements and location of these implements are regulated by the character of, and demand for, the work. Where the work is large there should be a traveling crane covering the track and the "big floor. " Circumstances will dictate in such cases. 500 The Core Room and Appurtenances Other appliances are screw clamps, spike claws, glue heaters, clay tubs, horses, etc. In view of the great number of implements needed about a core room, the necessity for adequate room, that the place may be kept neatly, orderly, and as cleanly as possible, wiU be apparent; and as the production of good castings depends upon the character of the cores, as well as upon that of the moulds, the neglect to provide proper facilities for the core maker is inexcusable. CHAPTER XXII THE MOULDING ROOM Too much attention cannot be given, in selecting a location for a foundry, to the character of the ground; good drainage is a primary requisite. Gravelly subsoil is altogether desirable. If the natural features of the situation do not permit proper drainage, the surface should be raised by proper filling so that the floor may be at least one foot above the ground exterior to the foundry. Much damage often results from the flooding of the floor during severe storms. Pits of greater or less depth have frequently 'to be made in the floor for heavy castings, and if the ground is not well drained great expense may be involved in keeping the pits dry. In preparing the moulding floor the surface soil should be removed and replaced with coarse sandy loam. After this is leveled it should be covered with from 2 to 3 inches of moulding sand, rammed and leveled. Provide gangways of liberal width, one leading from the cupola and others perpendicular to it. The number and location of the gangways and the subdivisions of the floor are dependent on the character of the business. The main gangways, particularly the one leading out of the foundry, should be supplied with railroad tracks of standard gauge, connected to the switching; system. Where it will best serve the purpose, ample space should be set aside for the Foundry Office and Pattern Loft. In the selection of this space regard should be had for access to the pattern storage. If at one end of the shop, it may be overhead. The proper fighting of a foundry is a matter of the greatest impor- tance. The windows should be large and close together, and all light possible admitted through the roof. The monitor roof is generally adopted, but the saw tooth or weaving shed roof serves well. What- ever style is adopted, it should carry provisior for good ventilation. No investment can make larger returns than that expended in procuring a well lighted foundry floor. Lavatories and closets are located where most convenient. 501 S02 The Moulding Room Cranes Unless the shop is small, or all the work light, a traveling crane is indispensable. The capacity and span of the ciane is governed by the conditions. Electric cranes are most commonly used and are probably the best for the purpose. The necessity for wall and post cranes will be indicated by the requirements of the business. Liberality in supply- ing cranes of lifting power in excess of the probable needs is never mis- placed. Occasions arise in every foundry which tax the cranes to their utmost capacity. Wire cables, instead of chains, for cranes are alto- gether preferable. Warning is always given of weakness in a cable, whereas a link in a chain may break at any moment. Abundant head room is a matter of great importance. Too fre- quently the inability to raise a heavy weight a few inches higher than the head room permits, occasions the greatest annoyance. . Hooks and Slings For the strength and dimensions of hooks, see Table, page 172. For chains, see Table, page 173- Chains and hooks should be frequently annealed. They are liable to give way at any time and seldom give warning of weakness. There is an endless variety of chains and hooks devised by the ingen- uity of the moulder to meet exigencies which continually arise. Fig. 137 furnishes ex- amples of those in ordinary use. Hooks and Chains Figs. I, 2, 3, 4 and 5 show JI.S heavy hooks for the crane. No. I is the type of heavy hook for crane block. No. 2 is an imattached hook which is often found very convenient. Nos. 3, 3, 3 show different forms of change hooks. They are used in shifting a load from one crane to another. Lifting Beams 503 Nos. 4 and 5 "S. & C." hooks, made very heavy, are in frequent demand in connection with heavy lifting. No. 6 is the form of hook usually attached to slings for lifting iron They are made with flat or chisel points from iH to 3 inches flasks wide. No, No, 7 is the ordinary chain hook. 8 is a claw hook for shortening hitches and adjusting chain lengths. No. 9 represents beam slings for hoisting copes, rolling flasks, etc. The hooks should be flat and thin, so as to engage easily in the long Hnks A, A. There should be two or more of these long links in each chain, spaced at equal distances. Several pairs of these slings about every foundry where the lifting is by cranes are most convenient. No. 10 shows a most serviceable sling. It is usually fitted with grab hooks like No. 6. No. II is a rigid beam sling used on flasks with trunnions. There should be two or more pairs of this type of sling. Another form of trunnion sling is made of a large strap ring to which is attached a short chain with hook or ring for engaging the crane chains. No. 12 is the ordinary turn- buckle, an invaluable implement; of which there should be several pairs of varying strength. Fig. 138. Lifting Beams No. 13 shows a light forged beam, or spreader. This is most con- venient especially for light work. The usual lifting beam is made of cast iron with notches for slings. While such a beam is very serviceable, it is too heavy to handle for moderate weights and unsafe for heavy loads. No. 14 shows a beam made of oak reinforced with iron straps. Such a beam is light and may be used for moderately heavy loads. 504 The Moulding. Room Fig. 139 No. 15 for heavy loads. The beam should be made of steel I beams, or chan- nels, and to carry any load to the full capacity of the crane. Where very large and heavy copes are to be lifted, the beam is frequently made in the form of a cross, so that attachment can be made in four or more places, dis- tributing the strain on the cope as desired. The following table gives the dimensions of I beams and loads they may safely carry. The table is calcu- lated for an extreme fibre stress of 12,000 pounds per square inch.

This is frequently used for large copes or rings, where the points of attachment must be dis- tributed equally. It does not answer for very great weights. Crosses with shorter arms cast in one piece are often of great service. The foundry supplies itself with such appliances as occasion requires. a a a a a a J 'vnaai Fig. 140. Binder Bars Binder bars are usually made of cast iron, except for very heavy work, when steel beams are used. The binders are ordinarily made in open sand with the ends slotted for bolts. For heavy work holes are made in the ends instead of slots. - Upper Rib for Heavy Bars _-— — — —- . V 1 1 ' — r- 1 ^ <^ Fig. 141. The binders are held by bolts to similar bars under the bottom board of flask, or are fastened to anchors in the floor. For safe loads on steel I beams employed as binders, multiply the loads given in the table on page 504. Binder bars for supporting sides of flasks are of same character as those for holding down copes, except that they are shorter and not as heavy. 5o6 The Moulding Room Clamps There are many types of clamps on the market. Adjustable, steel and malleable iron, but it is extremely doubtful if anything has been found to take the place of the common, old fashioned, cast-iron clamp and wooden wedge. A large assortment of the sizes in ordinary use should be kept on hand. Where very long ones are required D wrought iron bars are bent to shape. It is the better practice, however, to use binders in place of exceedingly long clamps. ^ 1^ CFD Fig. 142. Fig. 143. Iron flasks are frequently held together by short clamps on the flanges. Flasks The wood flask has been used for ages and has served its purpose most admirably. Wood, however, is becoming so expensive that the iron or steel flask is rapidly superseding it. Cast-iron flasks are so durable and so easily made, that an assortment covering the ordinary range of work is almost indispensable. The ordinary wooden flask is nothing more than a plain box. For light work it is made of 2-inch plank, of width and other dimensions to suit the requirements. Fig. 144 shows the ordinary wood flask for light work; the ends are gained into the sides y2 inch and spiked. The upper part is called the cope and the bottom the nowel or drag. The depth of these parts depends entirely on the pattern. It is essential that the joint at "A" should be a plane surface, or as the workmen say, "out of wmd." ^^^•^44. Each flask is provided with a bottom board B. This is made of boards one inch thick, nailed to battens.

For larger flask-bars, boards iH inch thick are placed crosswise of the cope and about 6 or 8 inches apart. The cope is also strengthened by rods at the end ^ running from side to side. The rods should have large washers under the nuts. There should be one or more rods at each end depending upon the depth of the cope. The lower edges of the bars are chamfered to sharp edges, and the edges are kept from ¥i to I inch away from the pattern, the bars having been cut to con- form to the general shape of the pattern. Where the distance between the edges of the bars and the surface of the pattern is more than U inch, nails are driven slantwise into the bars so that their heads may come within three-quarters inch of pattern. The cope is coated with thick clay wash before placing it in position to receive the sand. The ordinary mediimi-sized wood cope is gener- ally made as shown in sketch below. M^ x^ < ^W 1 : — ,. -^r-3-^ > -^- Fig. 145. The short bars A, A are used where the copes are over 24 inches wide. The following table showing the thickness of plank desirable for flasks of different dimensions is copied from the Transactions of the American Foundrymen's Association. The table is based on a depth of 6 inches for copes and drags. For each additional depth of 6 inches, the thickness should be increased 25 per cent. 5o8 The Moulding Room Square flasks, Sides.

Square flasks, from 24 to 36 inches square should have one row of short cross bars running through center of flask, connecting the long bars that extend from side to side. Sizes from 36 to 48 inches square should have at least one cast-iron bar, preferably two, and should also have one row of short cross bars. Sizes from 48 to 60 inches square should have two iron bars and two rows of short cross bars. With rectangular flasks, the statement that connecting bars are not needed until the flasks are 36 inches wide does not accord with the usual practice. Ordinarily connecting bars are used in flasks over 18 inches wide. Rectangular flasks over 60 inches wide should have one cast bar crosswise in the center. Flasks over 48 inches wide should have two rows of cross bars and two cast bars at equal distances from the end of the flask. AU copes should have a H-inch bolt running from side to side at each end, and where the cope is longer than three feet it should have a bolt in the center. Where copes are over 6 feet long, the bolts should be Flasks 509 spaced every two feet apart. All bolts should have large washers at each end. Drags should also have bolts at each end, but as conditions often. prevent their use in the center, long-nosed clamps placed cross- wise every 18 to 24 inches and se- curely wedged are recommended. The form of flask shown above is that most commonly used when they are made of wood. It is a short-lived affair, being quickly knocked and racked out of shape, and soon goes to the cupola for kindling wood. Such flasks may be greatly strength- ened and their durability in- creased by bolting cast-iron angles in the corners or even reinforcing (CJ the corners with blocks of wood, well spiked to sides and ends. Without greatly increasing the cost a far better flask is made by making the ends of cast iron. Such flasks are in common use for making cylinders or other castings, requiring large circular cores as per following sketch. Flasks of similar construction are often used for cylinders as large as 20 inches diameter of bore. The sides of the flask must be made of plank from 3 to 4 inches thick depending on the size. For rectangular flasks made of wood and iron, the con- struction shown below, offered by Mr. P. R. Ramp, is excellent. __ The suggestion to core the •^J-* trunnion, as at yl, is also valu- FiG. 147. able, as it greatly reduces the chance of unsoundness at that point. Flasks that are heavy enough to require trunnions should have iron ends. The trunnions may be cast on the ends or on trunnion plates, which are bolted to the ends. Fig. 146. Sio The Moulding Room Iron Flasks Although the first cost is somewhat greater, iron flasks soon pay for themselves by durability. They are stronger, more rigid and reduce the liabihty to swells and rim-outs. The copes and drags of small iron flasks are usually made each in one piece. At the joints for flasks with straight sides, flanges extend all the way around the inside. The handles may be of wrought iron cast in place, or, of cast iron, for sizes requiring two men to lift the cope. Some are made with sides turned up edgewise like troughs, so that the greatest length and breadth will be at the middle of the section. These are more expensive to mould and present no advantages over the flask with flat sides as shown in fig. 148. Fig. 148. Fig. 149. An assortment of small flasks of this description, ranging from 12 X 14 to 16 X 18 is of great value to any foundry. Iron flasks of medium and large sizes are best made in sections and bolted together. Flasks of this style are made and fitted up very quickly. A few patterns answer for a large assortment. With proper stop-offs, the ends and sides can be lengthened or shortened as desired. Where the copes are too large to be lifted off by hand, bosses are cast on the end. These are drilled to receive a yoke and the cope may then be lifted by crane and turned. If the flask is heavier than can be safely lifted with such a yoke, trunnions may be made on the ends and heavier lifting gear employed. The requirements for heavy flasks are so varied that it is impossible to specify any general type. By making them in standard sections as much as possible, having Iron Flasks 511 the parts interchangeable, a rectangular flask of almost any required dimensions may be constructed. By so doing the number of flasks is greatly reduced. O QO 0|P 0|5| O O I O O o,ix, p o o| o o 13 ,jif> )'xr'o o o ) o o Section A-B ^ V 2 y^ )~ 1™ ^ — ' a, 1 l<^ ^ 6 M Fig. 150. Care must be taken to number and store the parts systematically so that they may be readily accessible. It is seldom that a large flask will need to be less than 6 feet by 8 feet, and 12 inches deep. Starting with the end pieces 6 feet X i foot, and having four distance pieces, each i, 2, 3 and 4 feet long, ends can be assembled 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 feet long; by duplicating the parts, the depth of cope or drag can be made any number of even feet. Where the depth of cope or drag is over one foot, it is desirable to break joints in lapping the sections. It is better to have the trunnion plates loose, so that they may be bolted to any of the 4 or 6 feet lengths. ^ ^ \m.t Jo o C 3 O C Fig. 151. The top and bottom edges must be planed and the holes in ends and sides drilled to templets. Flanges top and bottom must be from 3^^ to 4 inches wide, and the 4 and 6 feet sections drilled at the center of flanges for pins. The 512 The Moulding Room planed surface need only be H inch wide; the flanges should drop away from edges from H to Vie inch. The web of sections should be ^/i inch thick and the flanges iH inches. The Hfting is in most cases done by attaching to the flanges, but where the weight is too great to be safely borne by these flanges, heavy wrought-iron loops are bolted to the sections, for points of attach- ment. On page 98, "American Foundry Practice," Mr. West shows an admirable form of extension flask for moderate sizes. "The handles W, W, are of wrought iron cast into the flask. They are placed on a slant so as to be in line with the chains when lifting. Guides X, X should be cast on for driving stakes along the side. The plate Y forms the end of flask. Should it be desired to make the flask longer, distance pieces may be bolted in between the flask proper and the plate Y.

"To accomplish the same purpose, the whole flask may be c^st in one piece, and the bottom edge of Y cut out H of an inch so there may be no bearing on the joints. When a longer flask is wanted a section may be bolted to it. This is not as desirable as the form shown in sketch." Flasks of this style are commonly used as copes to cover bedded work. Iron Flasks 513 Where the conditions do not warrant the extension flask as above described special flasks are more or less in demand. 30 :; Jo 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 or oL Jo -.00 -!o 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 oC p ol- Jo T Jo 1 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 io or 00^ j oL Fig. 154. The above sketch represents an ordinary heavy flask (cope) say 6' X 12' X 3'. In making large door frames, where the interior of the flask is not used, or for similar work, it is customary to have the flask follow the outline of the pattern and leave the interior vacant as shown in sketch below. ; ] 1 -^1 - rJ ~^i !> i 1 ( 1 i' ^ I r 1 ! ^ ll r 1 iU 1 — r I J r-l Fig. 155. Flasks are made in all sorts of irregular shapes both in plan and eleva- tion, as necessitated by the patterns. The bottom plates of heavy flasks are made of cast iron. These are fastened to the bottom flange of the drag by short heavy clamps. Thus. Circular flasks are in common use. They serve as copes to wheels cast in the floor and for other purposes. For large wheels which are swept up, instead of sweeping out the face in a pit, large rings are used for the cheek. The arms and hub are made with ^^^' ^5^" cores and interior of wheel swept up and not disturbed subsequently. 514 The Moulding Room The cheek is rammed up against segments, and when lifted gives free access to all parts for finishing. Fig. 157, For wheels 16 to 18 feet in diameter the cheeks are cormnonly made in six segments, which are bolted together. Fig. 158, Flasks made of sheet steel pressed to shape are light and convenient. They are, however, much more expensive. They are not as durable as cast-iron flasks, and when worn out are of no value; whereas with the cast flasks, noth- ing is lost but the labor. The cuts following from a manufacturer's catalogue show standard types of Ught and heavy flasks. I • » Fig. 159.

This flask is particularly adapted to brass, bronze, or any special metal foundry work. It is a new departure, having convex sides and ends for holding the sand. It does nice work, and while not half as heavy as the cast flask, is much more durable. Style "F" Channel Iron Floor Flask Fig. 163..

It is constructed of structural channel steel with flanges to the outside, having a smooth wall on the inside. The interior is provided with staples arranged at intervals to permit of inserting corrugated swivel gaggers for sand supports. This type of flask does away with the flask maker entirely, as each moulder arranges his gaggers or sand supports to suit the necessity. An equipment of these flasks is an excellent investment, 1. They cut out the use of expensive material (lumber). 2. They practically do away with the flask maker. 3. They eliminate expense of handling flasks. 4. They will remain in foundry and save storage. 5. And the most important feature to be considered is the increased output, better castings', less scrap, all of which will appeal directly to the proprietor. These floor flasks are furnished with a complete equipment of corru- gated swivel gaggers for sand supports which the moulder arranges easily to suit requirements. Snap Flasks Snap flasks are used by bench molders for light work. They must be easily and quickly handled, although snaps are sometimes made so large as to require two men. The flask is removed from the mould, hence one flask serves for an entire floor. They are usually made of cherry or mahogany; the hinges should lock and unlock quickly and be rigid when locked. The corners are Strengthened with iron corner bands, and the cope is faced on top with 5i8 The Moulding Room iron. For special work the joint may be made to conform with the parting. Rectangular snap flasks 3 feet long by 14 to 16 inches wide are not uncommon. For some classes of work round snaps are required. In the hands of a rapid, skillful moulder the snap flask is an indispen- sable implement for a foundry having large quantities of small work. Pieces weighing as much as 100 pounds may be made in the snap flask. The cuts herewith illustrate the construction of the different kinds of snaps referred to. Snap flasks of standard dimensions from i2Xi2toi2X2o can be purchased of most of the foundry supply houses. Where many moulds are to be made from one pattern, a match board, on which the patterns are placed, and upon which the parting is made, is practically a necessity. If these matches are not to be preserved, and are only to be used for a moderate number of moulds, they are made of moulding sand and fine sharp sand, half and half, stiffened with molasses water, or linseed oil, and dried; but if a permanent match board is desired, a mixture composed of one-half new moulding sand, one-half parting sand, >4o litharge, mixed with linseed oil and tKoroughly dried will serve admirably. The match should be varnished with shellac and kept with the pattern. Such a match board is shown in Fig. 165.. Fig. 165. Fig. 166. The moulds made in snap flasks must be covered with weights before they are poured. The weight should be about iH inches thick and should cover the cope entirely. Where the contents of the flask are quite heavy, or where the patterns approach the sides of the flask closely, the moulds require to be sup- ported by boxes, as well as to be weighted. For this purpose wood boxes of i-inch lumber are made so that the interior shaU have the same dimensions as the interior of the whole flask (cope and drag); this is shoved down over the mould and supports it against lateral pressure. Care must be taken that the boxes are not so small as to shave the mould nor so large as not to support it; they should just fit all around. These boxes are sometimes made of cast iron. Very serviceable ones made of sheet iron can be purchased at moderate prices. Pins, Plates and Hinges 519 Galvanized Iron Slip Boxes Straight Taper Fig. 167. The above are undoubtedly the best slip boxes on the market. They are more durable than wood or cast-iron boxes, are lighter and will not break by falling. They are made either straight or tapered, of No, 23 iron with a No. 9 wire in top and bottom and creased. In ordering, state whether straight or tapered and give the exact size of inside of flasks. These boxes are for light handling and will not stand careless run-outs, as the hot iron will warp them. They are very rigid, however, and with the ordinary one-inch margin outside of pattern there will be no run- outs. When ordering taper jackets, give taper or degree per foot on side, or make sketch giving size of top and bottom, also depth of drag. Pins, Plates and Hinges In order that the cope of a flask, when lifted from the drag after ramming, may be returned exactly to its original position, so that the two parts of the mould may match perfectly, guides must be provided which will insure correct closing. These are frequently made of wood, and if kept in good shape, serve the purpose admirably. Wooden guides are especially advantageous for long lifts. Fig. 168 shows a wood guide, of which there should be at least three on the flask. The moulder must exercise care when preparing to ram up a flask, to see that the guides and pins are securely nailed, that there is no lateral play and that the cope may be lifted and returned to its place with- out sticking at the pins. Guides of this kind, while chiefly in use on wood, are sometimes employed on large iron flasks. In the latter case wooden blocks are Fig. 168. 520 The Moulding Room securely fastened in the pockets between flanges, and the guides nailed to the blocks. The usual guide for the ordinary wood flask is a common cast-iron plate and pin. These are continually getting loose and furnish no end of trouble to the moulder Fig. 170. as well as causing many castings to be scrapped. It is the most worth- less appliance of its kind. A very good iron guide may be made as per sketch. (Fig. 170.) m (S);^, ^ HEAVY HIMOE Fig. 171. Such a guide may be fastened rri to the flask with very little more work, and the flanges give good support. An excellent pin and guide is made tri- angular in shape. Cast-iron flasks either have lugs to receive the pins and holes, or where the flanges are wide, pin holes are put in - — * them.

This is a nicely turned pin, with thread chased and hexagon nut, designed especially for cast-iron flasks. 522 The Moulding Room Sweeps Fig. 176. The above sketch shows the ordinary sweep used for making large pulleys, fly wheels, etc. A large class of work, circular in horizontal section, can be made with the sweep, thereby saving largely in the expense for patterns. To obtain accurate work by the use of the sweep, the stepping A must be firmly placed, so that the axis of the spindle B shall be vertical. The upper support D must be held rigidly, either by braces to wall of foundry or otherwise as most convenient. The box D may be made with a flange surrounding it from which three or four rods lead away to any suitable anchorages. These rods are provided with tumbuckles so that the spindle may be held rigidly in a vertical position. E is an adjustable collar fastened in position by a set screw. C is an iron arm carrying the wood strikes. The bearings by which this arm is supported should be farther apart than the width of the arm, so as to avoid any sagging of the latter. If these bearings are split in a direction parallel to the spindle and drawn up with clamp screws, lost motion can be taken up at any time. Any play in the supports for the arm, or neglect to maintain the spindle in a vertical position, will result in a distorted casting. Sweeps are Anchors, Gaggers and Soldiers 523 often constructed with elaborate mechanical attachments for making gears, spiral wheels, spiral cones, etc. Sometimes the steppings are placed permanently on concrete piers, where there are many wheels, etc., to be made. The strikes are cut in any desired shape and are used for inside or outside sweeping. Swept moulds are usually skin dried. Anchors » Gaggers and Soldiers These devices are used for sup- porting the sand where the ordinary bars are insufficient or inapplicable. Fig. 177 shows an anchor used for making pulleys. It consists of six cast-iron segmental plates about Vi inch thick, which are so placed between the arms of the puUey as to leave a space for sand, % inch wide, all around them. The upper sides of the plates are on the parting line of the arms. The plates are held together by wrought iron loops, passing over the arms, and cast in place. All the plates are poured at once,' and in open sand. Instead of wrought-iron loops, WFf] Fig. 177. these connections may be made by cast-iron loops, furnishing a much stiffer anchor. On the under side of each plate are cast one or. more long conical projections, which serve as guides by which to replace the anchor. Each plate is provided with an eye bolt long enough to reach to the joint of flask. The interior parting is made on center line of arms, sand is rammed on top of the anchor and another parting made flush with the rim upon which the cope is rammed. After the cope is removed, the sand covering the arms is lifted out by hooking to the eye bolts in anchor. Fig. 178 shows an anchor for lifting out a 524 The Moulding Room Where the anchor cannot rest on the bottom, but must permit iron to nm under it, it is bolted to the cope and Hfted out with it. The necessities of the situation indicate the size and shape of anchors. Frequently, the pocket is such that the anchor must be broken to remove it from the casting. It is well to keep down the weight of the anchors as much as possible, relieving the cope to that extent. Very many cores, as well as moulds, require to be supported in this manner. * Gaggers In the use of gaggers it should be borne in mind, that they are heavier than the sand; it is simply due to the cohesion of the sand, holding them up to the sides of the flask or bars, that they are of assistance in supporting the cope. The gagger is of use just in proportion to the length that is surroimded with packed sand. All that part which pro- jects above the cope is a detriment. They are first immersed in thick clay wash, and placed flat up against the bars or sides of flask, having about % inch sand under them. They are made in the gagger mould, already described, which is kept near the cupola. Costing practically nothing, they may be used freely. A good supply should always be kept on hand. Many shops use gaggers made of Vi inch square bar iron bent to shape. They are not as serviceable, however, as they do not offer as good a surface to which the sand can adhere, and are more expensive. Soldiers Soldiers are simply pieces of wood about one inch square, cut from boards, with clay washed and placed around the mould instead of gag- gers, where the latter cannot be used; or to assist the gaggers in deep lifts. The sand adheres to soldiers better than to gaggers. The free use of either gaggers or soldiers is to be encouraged, as it is better to place too many of them in a mould than to have a drop. At the same time care must be exercised to have the ends well protected by sand, so that the hot iron will not come in contact with them, as there will surely be a "blow" in that event. Sprues, Risers ajid Gates The following tables, giving the equivalent areas of round gates, also of square and rectangular gates as compared with round ones, are taken from West's "Moulder's Text Book," pp. 245 and 246.

Now although four 2V^-inch round gates are of equal area to one 5 -inch roimd gate, we find the frictional resistance to the flow of a like 'head pressure' through four aJ^-inch round gates to be double that generated in one 5-inch round gate, simply because the combined circumferences of four 2H-inch round gates are 31.416 inches, whereas the circumference of one 5-inch round gate is 15.708 inches. As gates are generally combined under varying compli- cated conditions, the tables as given can be better practically used than where they are lumbered with the question of frictional resistance. " Risers are generally double the diameter of the pouring sprue. The function of the' riser is twofold. It serves to catch and carry away any dirt entering the mould from the pour- ing sprue and also to furnish a supply of Uquid metal to provide for shrink- age. Risers are placed either in con- nection with the gate, or on some part of the mould whence the deficiency from shrinkage can be most readily supplied. When located on the gate the latter is usually so cut as to impart a whirling motion to the metal ascend- ing the riser. The metal enters the riser near the bottom and flows to the mould through a channel opened above the entrance. In the sketch A represents the pouring sprue, B is the riser, C the gate from sprue to riser which is cut tangential to B. D is the gate from riser to casting. The gates should be somewhat smaller in area than the pouring sprue so that the pouring basin E may always be kept full. Top Pouring Gates The advantage of this form of gate for large castings is that the dirt is kept at the top of the poUring basin, allowing the clean iron to flow into the mould from beneath. The first dash of iron may carry some dirt, but the greater portion of it will flow with the stream over the gates; the runner being quickly filled, no dirt can enter subsequently if kept full. See West's "Moulder's Text Books," page 129. Fig. 179. Fig. 180. Horn Gates 527 Whirl Gates The object of the whirl gate is to impart a rotary motion to the iron in the basin and riser B, B. By centrifugal force the metal is kept in contact with the exterior of the riser, and the dirt is carried up in the middle of it. Fig. 181. The riser B should be larger than the pouring sprue A , and A should be larger than C, in order that the pouring basin may be kept full. It is best to have patterns made for whirl gates; they can be used in either cope or drag. The "Cross" Skim Gate This as shown in Fig. 182 is an excellent device and is largely used. A is the gate leading from pouring sprue to basin B, C is a, core in which is the gate D, leading to casting. The iron enters B, tangen- tially, a whirhng motion is imparted to it carry- ing the dirt to the riser, while the clean iron flows out through D. Another form of same gate is made as shown in fig. 183.

The reduction of cost in the production of the classes of work for which it is adapted and the superiority of the product as compared with hand work render the machine absolutely- indispensable to the successful conduct of a foundry engaged in com- petitive work. While the moulding machine is in some respects invaluable, it must not be supposed that its value can be realized without the exercise of a high order of intelligence. To produce accurate work by machine requires the utmost care and accuracy in fitting up patterns and flasks. Apphances which may be used successfully in hand moulding would entail disastrous results in machine moulding. Again, no particular machine is adapted to all kinds of work. It has a certain range for a certain character of pro- duction. Without those limits its use is not warranted. There are many kinds of machines, operated in various ways; by compressed air, hydraulic pressure, mechanical pressure, gravity and impact. It is not the purpose of this book to discuss the merits of the different machines. The various types have been in service long enough to indicate the particular class of work to which each is best adapted. One type of machine is best suited for light, small work; another to stove-plate; another to car castings, etc. In choice of machines the foundryman should profit by the experi- ence of those who have preceded him in this field, and must be especially cautious in not attempting to extend the range of any one type beyond that for which it is particularly fitted. There are machines which simply perform the operation of ramming; others which only draw the pattern, the ramming having been done by hand; while others perform both operations. In many instances the character of the work determines the function of the machine. It is doubtful, however, if hand ramming for deep pockets, etc., can be dispensed with by use of the machine. In fact, except in cases where the plainest character of work is produced, it is a mistake to believe 538 Moulding Machines 539 that the moulding machine does not reqmre the services of an experienced moulder. Mr. S. H. Stupakoff, in his comprehensive paper on the moulding machine, referring to the object of the machine as one to save labor, to increase the output, to decrease cost of production, to produce uniform and better castings, etc., says: "It is obvious that it would require a complicated mechanism to per- form successively and successfully all the necessary operations to make a complete mould, even if it were only the mould of a simple pattern. In consequence the general equipment of a foundry which accom- plishes this object must be necessarily quite an elaborate and expensive matter. The majority of designs of moulding machines run in this direction, whereas in most cases it would have been better if the energy expended had been directed to their simplification. "Such tendencies lead to complications which are altogether unsuited for foundry practice; they meet with little favor and machines built upon these principles are of short Hfe." "Only the simpler moulding machines have a chance of meeting with more or less success, even if they perform but a few operations, provid- ing they perform these well." "The first step in the evolution of the moulding machine was a device for withdrawing patterns from the sand. The next was to employ stripping plates, then an attempt to ram the mould by machinery." In these three operations He the basic principles of all moulding ma- chines: all subsequent improvements and additions have been matters of detail; but to these improvements and to superior workmanship is due the real success of the modern moulding machine. In the chart (p. 549), given by Mr. Stupakoff, moulding machines are divided into two classes — hand and power machines. The chart gives the variations of each class. The selection and arrangement of machines, etc., is a matter governed entirely by the specific circumstances. Only hand machines are portable. They effect a great saving in the cost of carrying sand, but their use is Hmited by their size and weight. Mr. Stupakoff discusses the advan- tages and use of pattern plates as follows: "At first sight it may appear that the construction and manipulation of pattern plates has but little connection with moulding machines, but I hope that I will succeed in showing in the course of this work, that they are not only intimately connected with each other, but that they are in fact the principal parts of all moulding machines. The lack of intimate knowledge of how to make use of them to the best advantage, the want of proper means to effect this purpose and the wretchedly 540 Moulding Machines little effort which is made to catch the right spirit of their nature, is generally the reason why a moulding machine becomes an elephant on the hands of the moulder and an eyesore to its owner." The recommendations given by Mr. Stupakoff for the adoption of plate moulding by hand apply equally well to machine moulding. 1. Plated patterns give the best service when used continuously. 2. Castings which are to be produced in quantities are perferably moulded with plated patterns. 3. Standard patterns are preferably plated for economic production in the foundry. 4. Plated patterns should be made .of metal to give good service." 5. When plated patterns are used good flasks only will insure good castings. 6. Accurate workmanship is one of the main requisites in plated patterns. 7. The use of wood patterns on plates is not excluded. 8. All patterns when placed on plates should be provided with plenty of draft. 9. Plated metal patterns are preferably made hollow. 10. Rapping is destructive of plates and patterns." The chapter on jigs is regarded of such importance that it is given here in full. The Moulding Machine By S. H. Stupakoff, Pittsburgh, Pa. Journal of the American Foundrymen's Association, Vol. XI, June, 1902, Part i. Jigs The deduction arrived at in the foregoing chapter might make it appear that plated patterns are not Ukely to find extensive use in jobbing foundries, whereas this is really not altogether the case. There is no doubt that plate moulding as now practiced, or rather as ordi- narily applied, is practically excluded from jobbing shops. But, if a plate is used in connection with a suitable jig, specially prepared for the purpose, objections are not only overcome, but the application and use of plates offer excellent advantages, even in such cases where only a small number of castings of the same pattern are required at one time. At best, the economic use of plated patterns is limited by the shape and size of the castings. The fundamental principle involved in their construction and application must be fully understood by the user, if satisfactory results are expected. Jigs 541 Irrespective of its relation to the moulding machine, it would seem that this subject — on its own merits — is of such importance, that it should be investigated by all foundrymen. It should specially interest the ma- jority of our members. I have therefore somewhat enlarged the scope of this treatise on the moulding machine by including a detailed study of the construction and modus operandi of this particular contrivance. To begin with, it should be understood that all plates are provided with guide-pin holes, which are accurately fitted to corresponding guide pins forming part of the flasks. Unless special flasks are used in con- nection with such plates the customary flask pins should not be con- foimded with these guide pins, as they will never answer the purpose. In order that misconceptions in this respect may be avoided, this term will be adhered to in what follows, and strict distinction will be made between flask pins and guide pins wher- ever they may be mentioned in the course of this work. The guide-pin holes, G and G', Fig. 205, are preferably arranged on opposite ends of the plate, in even multiples of an inch, and equidistant from its center and on a line dividing the plate into two equal rectangles. There are exceptional cases, in which three or four guide pins must be used. The most serious objec- ^°^- tion against this arrangement is the greater difficulty experienced in locating the patterns correctly. Accuracy in preparing the plates becomes of the utmost importance, as the magnitude of all errors occurring in the original laying out is doubled by each subsequent operation. The guide-pin holes should be drilled and reamed out at right angles to the surface of the plate, and it is advisable to provide them with hardened and ground steel bushings. All guide pins should be of uniform diameter irrespective of the size of the plate. A pair of test pins should be kept on hand, which snugly fit the guide-pin holes; one-half of one of their ends should have been cut down to about H inch in length, leaving as remainder exactly one-half of the cylindrical portion (Fig. 204). If these test pins are inserted into their respective holes and a straight edge is placed against their P flattened faces, it will serve for locating the base or the cen- ter line of the plate, for marking off and laying out the dowel pin holes, arranging the patterns and checking off all work relating to it. 542 Moulding Machines The exact location of the center of the plate, and likewise the center of the flask, is found by dividing the base line from center to center gnjde- pin hole into two equal parts. Let us drill a hole C in this place (Fig. 205), and let this hole serve as the starting point for future operations. Now we will assume that we have procured a tri-square with a row of holes drilled in each of its legs; these holes are spaced equally — say Fig. 205. I inch apart — care being taken that each row stands exactly in a straight line, and that both rows include an exact angle of 90 degrees. We place this square in such a manner on our plate that the hole in its apex corresponds with the center hole C of our plate, and insert a good fitting dowel pin through both. Thus we are able to shift the square over the whole surface of the plate by turning it around the center pin. Next we bring one leg of the square over the base line of the plate and insert a second dowel pin (which may be shouldered if necessary) through G into the corresponding hole of our square. Secured in this manner the square should be absolutely rigid and should not shake to right or left on the surface of the plate. We now drill one hole each into the plate through the guides H and 7 of the square, then we remove the pin from G, turn the square around the center pin over 90 degrees, so that one of its legs points upward and the other one to the left, insert a dowel through the hole in the leg pointing upward into the top hole I' of the plate, and drill the hole H^; finally we turn it again over 90 degrees, secure it in the same manner as before, and drill the hole P. Fig. 205 Jigs 543 Illustrates the square in the first position as located on the plate; the holes H^ and P, which are drilled subsequently, are shown in faint lines. In the future, we shall, call these holes "pilot holes," in order to dis- tmguish them from others in the same plate. These four pilot holes include an exact rectangle or square, and each opposite pair is located at uniform distances from the center of plate and flask. It will be under- stood that it is not absolutely necessary to employ the square for drilUng the pilot holes. For instance, after one plate has been prepared in this manner, this plate can serve as a jig for drilling any number of additional plates in the same manner by a single setting. Such an original or master plate is especially serviceable, if all holes are provided with good steel bushings. The pilot holes in connection with the center hole will serve us hereafter as guides for locating pattern dowels. Our object in view is to use this plate as a base for any and all suit- able patterns, and as an illustration we will arrange it for the reception of patterns of a globe valve and a bib cock. We wiU assume that the patterns are aU in good shape and properly parted. However, they shall originally not have been intended for use with either moulding ma- chine or drawplate. Our plate and flasks are of a suitable size, but the job is in a hurry — as all jobs are — and we must get out quite a num- ber of these castings to-day. What are we going to do about it? Take my advice and make it in the old fashioned way, unless you are pro- vided with a suitable jig plate and an inexpensive, but a good small driU press, which was never used by your blacksmiths or yard laborers, but was expressly reserved for this purpose only, was always under the care of a mechanic who understood how to handle it, and who took pride in keeping it in good shape. This jig plate (Fig. 205) should be provided with a number of holes, two rows of which, at least, are drilled exactly in the same manner as those in the above-mentioned square; the balance is laid out prefer- ably, but not necessarily so, in straight and paraUel hues, all equidistant from each other. Its dimensions should be sufficient to cover one corner, or one-fourth of your pattern plate. If these things are part of your equipment you will have easy sailing, and you wiU be better fitted to tackle the job than your competitor. Place this jig in such a manner in one corner of your draw plate that the hole (Fig. 205) corresponds with the hole C in its center; hold both together with dowel pins inserted into the pilot holes, and drill the holes through the jig into your plate, which are required for securing the patterns in the predetermined places. To avoid mistakes be sure that the hole in that particular corner of the jig, which corresponds to the one described as located in the apex of the square is distinctly marked 544 Moulding Machines on both sides of the jig plate — in our figure marked — and note carefully which holes in the jig were used for drilling the dowel holes into the pattern plate. Thereafter turn the jig upside down on the pattern plate, insert the dowel pins again through the same holes and 01 into C and /', and the third one through OH into H^, and then, as before, drill through the same guide holes of the jig the corresponding dowel holes into the second quarter of the pattern plate. Repeat the same process at the lower half of the plate, being always careful that C and remain together and your plate is ready to receive the patterns. That there may be no doubt as to the method of operation, I suggest that you will refer to the two plates which are attached hereto, one of which (Fig. 206) is made on transpar- ent — so-called "onion skin" paper. The cut on the latter represents the jig. In faint lines thereon is shown the outline of the position of patterns, which corresponds to the arrange- ment of the same on the pattern plate (Fig. 207). Horizontal and vertical Fig. 206. Fig. 207, lines, which are provided with identification marks, cross all the holes in the jig plate. The holes which are to be used in this special case as guides for drilling the necessary dowel pin or screw holes in the pattern plate are indicated by circles drawn in heavy. Thus, the holes // X and 8* are used for securing the globe valve body pattern, II + and Jigs 545 /// 1 1 for the body of the bib cock, and so forth. By placing the onion skin in such a manner over the drawing of the pattern plate, that its hole corresponds with the center hole C of the latter, and 01 and OH respectively with /' and H', it will be noticed that the outlines repre- senting the patterns cover each other in both cuts. The jig placed in this position over the pattern plate, and secured to it by the pilot pins at 0, 01 and OH is used in this manner for drilling all dark lined holes in the right-hand upper corner of the draw plate. This being done, the pilot pins are withdrawn and the jig plate is reversed and turned into the upper left-hand corner of the pattern plate, just as if it were hinged at the line 01; the pilot pins are replaced into the same holes of the jig as before and in this position they will secure it to the pattern plate by entering its pilot holes C, I' and H"^. It will be observed that in this position also, and equally well, the outlines of the patterns in both cuts fall exactly together. The jig is used in this position as before, the same guide holes which were used in the first position in the upper right hand corner serve again as guides for drilling the second quarter of the pattern plate. Identically the same process is then repeated at the lower left hand and lower right-hand corners of the plate, by first turning the jig plate around the imaginary hinge center OH, and then around 01. In order to prepare the patterns to suit the above conditions, we pro- ceed exactly in the same manner, by securing one-half of each separately, and always the one which has the dowel holes, at the previously deter- mined place on the jig plate and drilling clear through them the holes which coincide with those drilled previously into the pattern plate. The second halves of these patterns are then placed in position against the first (drilled) halves; they are prevented from moving sideways by their original dowel pins, and they may be held together by suitable clamps. These clamps are preferably made of a universal type which adapts them for use with all kinds of patterns, their lower portion being constructed in the shape of a frame which rests on the table of the drill press without rocking and which is adapted for fastening the patterns in such a manner that their parting faces stand parallel to the drill table. The half of the pattern which has been drilled first with the aid of the. jig occupies the upper position in this clamp or drill frame, and the holes in this one will now serve as guides for the drill to drill the holes in the second half which stands directly underneath. Finally, have the original dowel pins of the patterns removed and fasten all parts separately in place on the pattern plate by either dowels or screws, or both, whichever may be preferable and most convenient in your particular case. If I may call your attention again to the drawings, you will observe 546 Moulding Machines that we have prepared the pattern plate in this manner with four com- plete sets of patterns; yet we have used only two. The castings result- ing from the use of these plates should be perfect as to match. The amount of labor required to withdraw the patterns from the sand is reduced to a minimum; additional time is saved by the use of a station- ary gate or runner on the plate, and double the quantity of castings can be produced in this manner with the same number of patterns and in the same number of flasks. All this can be accomplished by making an effort of no longer duration than it took to describe. If you have followed the above description carefully, you may have noticed that it is not necessary to have an individual plate prepared for each set of patterns. Yet I thought it better to describe this method of preparing pattern plates, and patterns for plate moulding in detail, than to leave room for any doubt or error. You can easily see that much of the time which it apparently took to get the plate and patterns ready for the moulder, can be saved by providing the entire surface of the plate with dowel holes before putting it into use. This should be done with the aid of the jig and in identically the same manner as has been suffi- ciently explained in the foregoing. Thus, only new patterns have to be prepared for the purpose, and all others, which once have been fitted, are easily replaced and secured to their correct positions on the plate, providing their dowel holes were promptly provided with specific nimi- bers, letters or identification marks. The additional holes, in the plate will not impair its working qualities, but they could be easily closed up with bees- wax if objectionable. Finally, it is well to note that each plate can be used in connection with all patterns within its range, and that it can be kept in continuous service, while the patterns may be changed at will, and as often as desirable. While the above description may appear somewhat too extended, I assure you that a serious mistake would have been made had the sub- ject been slighted merely for the sake of brevity. At the same time I will say in justification of my apparent digression, that my original subject has not been sidetracked. At first sight, it may appear, that the con- struction and the manipulation of pattern plates has but little connection with moulding machines, but I hope that I will succeed in showing in the course of this work, that they are not only intimately connected with each other, but that they are in fact the principal parts of all moulding machines. The lack of intimate knowledge of how to make use of them to the best advantage, the want of proper means to effect this purpose and the wretchedly little effort which is made to catch the right spirit of their nature is generally the reason why a moulding machine becomes an elephant on the hands of a moulder and an eyesore to its owner. Flasks 547 Flasks Good flasks are especially important in machine or plate moulding. To insure good results from moulding machines the flasks must be prac- tically perfect. They must be constructed to insure firm holding of the moulding sand; must be stiff, light and durable. "The pins must be accurately fitted. The flasks, if made in sets, must be absolutely interchangeable. The pins should be square with the flask surface, must not bind and still must not fit too loosely. Copes and drags when assembled, must not rock or shake sideways. Wooden flasks, such as are used in most foundries, are not likely to give good results in moulding machine practice. However, if carefully and substantially made, there is no reason why their application in machine moulding shoiild be absolutely condemned. ' Iron flasks are always preferable, especially since they do not shrink, warp or get out of joint. " Pressed steel flasks are still more desirable. If wooden flasks are used the}^ should be faced with an iron ring, this ring serving not only to maintain alignment, but also as a base for securing flask pins. Taper steel pins secured to lugs by nuts give best satisfaction. The holes in lugs on drags may be reamed tapering and the lower ends of pins turned to fit, and tapped lightly into place. After the flask is closed and clamped these pms may be removed, thus making a few pins serve for any number of flasks. When not in use they should be removed from the flasks and properly taken care of. The pins are sometimes cut away so as to give them a triangular cross section, so that sand adhering to them may not interfere with readily inserting them in the holes. By continued use the pins and sockets are so worn as to be unservice- able. The pins, of course, are replaced by new ones, but the sockets must be bushed by sleel thimbles. The old holes are drilled out to standard size, so that the thimbles may be interchangeable. It is advisable to have the pin holes bushed when the flasks are made, so as to avoid subsequent annoyance. "The makers of moulding machines are undoubtedly very well aware of all the requirements which are covered by the observance of these little details. They wiU appreciate their importance and must admit that they are essential to make their machines a success. Yet to my knowledge these facts have never been mentioned. Is this information kept from the foundry man purposely, that he may not be scared from the purchase of machines? If he should be told all this he might in the first place think of the expense, and next that bis moulders cannot get 548 Moulding Machines used to refinement of this kind, which by the way is not a very creditable opinion. But if he buys one or more of the machines oSered, he cannot help finding all this out before long, to his own chagrin. He may tjirow the machines away, or persist in the use of them and pay dearly for his experience. All this vexation could have been prevented in the first place and at a reasonable cost, had he been furnished in connection with the machine, with jigs, sample flasks, pins, etc., and above all. with the necessary information to which he was entitled." Many failures to introduce and maintain labor-saving devices can be traced to the lack of intelligent instructions sent with them. Mr. Stupakoff further discusses in detail the different kinds of ma- chines remarking: "It is a grievous mistake to think that a moulding machine of any description will replace a skilled moulder. There is no less ingenuity required to produce good castings on a machine than to make them by hand. "A moulder is aided by his experience and by his good judgment, A machine hand (customarily selected from unskilled labor) has nothing to offer but his muscle and good will. These qualities . . . are but poor substitutes for the dexterity of an expert. Therefore, imder ordinary circumstances the chances are but slight to obtain good cast- ings and good results by mechanical means which are imperfectly under- stood and subject to reckless abuse by hands which are unquestionably green in the business. Owners of moulding machines should not expect marvels from an inert piece of mechanism, but it is safe to say they will seldom fail in their calculations if they are satisfied with a reasonable increased pro- duction, provided they are willing to pay the best possible attention to their manipulation." Messrs. McWilliams and Longmuir in discussing the advantages of moulding machines conclude their remarks as follows: "With ordinary small work, such as is usually included in boxes up to 14 inches by 16 inches, the greatest time consumers are (i) ramming, (2) jointing , and (3) setting cores. Jointing is largely obviated with a good odd-side, and altogether so with a plate. Ramming by the aid of a press reduces the time occupied to that required for the pulling forward of a lever. Obviously, then, the greatest time consumers, with one exception, may be very considerably reduced by the simple and inexpensive aid offered by plate moulding and the hand press. " The exception referred to is that of setting cores, which holds good with all forms of mechanical moulding. Pattern drawing does not take up so much time as is usually supposed.

Fig. 239. 576 Determination of Weight of Castings To find the weight of an outside circular fillet, multiply the sum of the diameter of the cylinder made by the side of the fillet and the product of the radius and 0.446, by the radius squared, by 0.176, or to the diameter of the cylinder made by the side of the fillet multiplied by the radius squared, by 0.176, add the radius cubed multipHed by 0.0784: TF = (D + 0.446 R) R" X 0.176, or W = DJR?

CHAPTER XXVI WATER SUPPLY, LIGHTING, HEATING AND VENTILATION Water Supply Provision for water supply to the foundry is a matter of the first importance. If water cannot be obtained from the pubUc mains, facil- ities for pimiping and distributing must be provided. The system must be so arranged, either by elevated tanks or otherwise, as to furnish water under a pressure of from 25 to 30 pounds. While the supply must be abundant, the natural tendency to its wasteful use must be suppressed. Fig. 241. — Water Box and Hose Connection. Conveniently located near the cupola for quenching the dump, should be a hydrant with hose attached, ready for immediate use. Pipes should be so run about the foundry that taps may be conveniently distributed for wetting down the floors and sprinkling the sand heaps; each floor must have easy access to the sprinkling hose. Ample provision should be made for drinking; basins near the drinking fountains, in which to bathe their arms and faces, add greatly to the comfort of the workmen. The illustrations herewith, taken from the Iron Age, show provisions 577 578 Watey: Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation made for this purpose and for lavatories, etc., in a large Cleveland foundry Running water should be suppHed at the closets. In many foundries of recent construction, wash basins, shower baths and lockers are pro- vided, enabling the men to wash and change their clothes before leaving the works. The free use of water implies, of course, a system of sewer- age. Care must be taken to avoid puddles or wet spots about the floors. The matter of water supply for fire protection is entirely independent of that for foundry purposes, and should be provided for separately. Fig. 242. — Porcelain Washbowls and Steel Lockers in Lavatory. Lighting Next to water supply in importance is the matter of lighting. Many foundries are deficient in this respect and suffer either in the character or quantity of product from improper lighting. Daylight is invaluable, and should be utilized to the fullest extent. In the construction of foundry buildings, the windows should be tall and as close together as the character of the structure will permit; they should not extend lower than four feet from the floor. A modem construction showing the sides of the building made almost entirely of glass is shown in the engraving below. Windows in the moniter should be swiveled and arranged to open easily for ventilation. Skylights are to be avoided if possible, as they cause no end of annoyance. The weaving-shed roof gives excellent results, and is frequently used in foundry construction. The glazing should be of a character to prevent the direct admission of sunlight. Ground glass, wire glass or glass with horizontal ribs afford a mellow light, relieving the eyes from the glare of direct sunlight. Heating and Ventilating 579 Artificial light for the early morning and late evening hours, during the season of short days, is best aflforded by some adaptation of the electric lamp. Tungsten lamps in groups of four, distributed at inter- vals of about 40 feet are largely used. Such lamps are provided with reflectors to direct the rays downwards and diffuse them. The lamps must be placed so as to clear the crane ways, and should be elevated about 20 feet from the floor. The Cooper-He we tt mercury lamps, placed about 50 feet apart and covered with reflectors, are very satis- factory. The flaming arc lamps, similarly placed, furnish the greatest illumination for a given expenditure of current. , Fig. 243- A recent type of kerosene burner, the Kauffman, having a mantel somewhat similar to the Wellsbach, is said to furnish a given candle power at less cost than any tamp known. With any system of lighting, care must be taken to keep the lamps clean and in good order, otherwise their efficiency is soon greatly im- paired. Where electric hghts are used, the generators should be inde- pendent of those which furnish current to the motors. Power for fans, elevators, cranes, sand mixers, etc., is most conveniently supplied by electricity. Each machine should have an independent motor. Elec- tric trucks, operated by storage batteries, and magnetic hoists, for service in the foundry and yard are almost indispensable. In fact the introduction of electricity has so simplified foundry operations that its use is imperative. Heating and Ventilating Heating and ventilating the foundry are subjects which formerly received little attention. A few stoves or open fires in iron rings, placed where they would be least in the way, constituted the usual equipment; foundries fitted with steam heating or hot-air systems were exceptional, 580 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation Gradually foundrymen have learned to appreciate the advantages of a comfortable •working temperature and good ventilation, as shown by increased output. A cold shop and chiUed or partly frozen sand heaps may easily reduce the value of a morning's work from 20 to 25 per cent. As foundry operations require active physical exertion, the temperature of the shop should not exceed 50° to 55° F. At 7 o'clock in the morning the building should be warm throughout. "For this purpose direct and vacuum steam heating systems are used with good results. Both are open to objections. The warm air is not evenly distributed; much of it is sent to the upper part of the building, where it does no good. With either system several hours are required in extremely cold weather to produce a comfortable temperature in the morning. Cold air enters through the windows and doors, causing drafts and an uneven distribu- tion of heat. More satisfactory results are furnished by the fan and hot-blast system. This consists of a sheet-iron chamber, in which are placed the requisite number of coils heated either by direct or exhaust steam, if the latter is available, an exhaust fan and the distributing pipes. The fan draws the air over the coils and from the chamber and forces it about the build- ing through large ducts, from which branch pipes are taken at proper intervals; through these branches the warm air is discharged at the desired spots within the shop. This system is largely used and possesses advantages over those having direct radiation. The amount of heat absorbed by air flowing over pipes increases rapidly with the velocity of the air. When the velocity of the air current flo\ving over the pipes in the heating chamber is about 1500 feet per minute (the usual velocity) the area of the heating surface required to accomplish a given heating effect is only about one-fifth that for direct radiation. With the fan and hot-blast system the building is filled with air under slight pressure, termed a plenum, which prevents cold air from entering; warm air flows out through all leaks. The warm air is discharged from the pipes near the floor, and uniformly distributed through the lower part of the building. By reason of such distribution and the great volume of air discharged, the shop may be quickly warmed in the morning. If the fan is driven by an independent engine, the exhaust steam is sent directly to the coils, thereby making the expendi- ture for power nominal. Where live steam is not available for an engine the fan may be driven by a motor. With the motor-driven fan, the watchman can start the apparatus during exceedingly cold nights, and thereby prevent the sand heaps from freezing. The ducts are usually circular in section, made of galvanized iron and supported by the chords of the building so as to clear the crane'way. Heating and Ventilating 581 The sketch below shows the usual arrangement for fans and ducts. In shops of moderate size, where but one fan is required, the ducts, ©f course, must nm all around the building. Fig. 244.— Typical Arrangement of Heating and Ventilating System for Foundry with Unobstructed Craneway. From the ducts, discharge pipes are dropped at intervals of from 30 to 40 feet. These usually terminate about 8 feet above the floor hne, and leave the ducts at an angle of about 45°, inclined in the direction of the 582 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation air currents. Where the discharges are dropped as above stated, the open ends should incline about 20° from the vertical; they should alternately face the walls and the center bay. Six square inches of dis- charge opening are ordinarily allowed for every 1000 cubic feet of space, and the aggregate area of the openings should be 25 per cent greater than the area of the ducts. From these data the size of the ducts may be calculated for any building of known dimensions. Underground ducts with vertical discharge pipes are desirable, as they offer no obstruction to foundry operations, but they are quite expensive; the overhead ducts seem best to meet all requirements. Where steam or hot air is used for heating, the matter of ventilation requires no provision, except for that period of the day occupied in melting, as the leakages are sufficient to supply an abundance of fresh air. During the heat, vapor and gases rise in great volumes; to permit them to escape or to permit fresh air to enter, the swiveled windows in the monitor are opened. Where steam heat is employed, discomfort is occasionally experienced during cold or stormy weather, as the gases fall as soon as they begin to cool, and the vapor is condensed by the incoming air. With the hot- blast system this difficulty does not occur, since the plenum is sufficient to drive out the gases and vapor through the open windows. Mr. W. H. Carrier of the Buffalo Forge Company, Buffalo, N. Y., has discussed the subject of Foundry Heating and Ventilating so fully in a paper pre- sented at a meeting of the American Foundrymen's Association, that advantage is taken of the opportimity presented through the courtesy of the Buffalo Forge Company to make extensive extracts therefrom: "The proper distribution of heat in the foundry is comparatively difficult. In general the problem is that of a large open space, affording little opportunity for efficient placing of direct radiation. On account of the monitor type of building usually employed, there is relatively a great height. The hot air rises up into the lantern and passes out through the ventilators, if fans are not provided to deliver it near the floor. The heated column of air in the building serves to draw cold air from with- out at every opening. This inward leakage of cold air, not only de- mands a great amount of heat, but makes a thorough distribution of heat at the floor line most essential for comfort and economy of opera- tion. A slight plenum, or outward leakage, of air at the doors and openings, caused by the delivery and proper distribution of sufficient heated air into the building is the only solution of the difficulty. Ample ventilation is at times most necessary. The lantern t3^e of build- ing is best adapted to quickly ventilate, since the ventilators simply have to be opened to permit the hotter and lighter gases and vapors Heating and Ventilating 583 to pass out. External air must enter the building to replace that escaping through the ventilators. Cold air entering the doors and openings tends to cool and condense the rising vapors. It is there- fore essential that a system be installed which will deliver warmed fresh air during the pouring periods, when ventilation is of first im- portance. Rapid heating of the building in the morning means that the best efficiency from the men will be obtained over the entire working period. A system which is elastic, and which may be rapidly varied to suit the requirements is to be favored. Coke or gas fired salamanders are appar- ently the most economical means of heating, as all the heat goes directly into the building. The atmosphere in a tightly closed building heated by this method becomes intolerable, and if sufficient ventilation is provided to make conditions healthful, the amount of heat required is greater than with other systems. The grade of fuel used is also con- siderably more expensive than that used in other systems of heating, to say nothing of the care of a large number of separate fires scattered about the building. In heating with direct radiation, steam is usually employed, although hot-water systems with forced circulation have been successfully oper- ated. Unless there is a large amount of hot water available, it is not an economical system to employ, on" account of the greatly increased amount of radiating surface required at the lower temperature. In steam heating, the high pressure, the low pressure or the vacuum system of distribution may be used; the selection of the particular system depends on load conditions. Where high-pressure steam is available, and there is no exhaust steam, it should of course, be used. If, however, there is no high pressure or exhaust steam available from the power plant, then an independent low-pressure boiler should be installed, fur- nishing steam at from 5 pounds to 10 pounds pressure. For low-pressure work cast-iron boilers may be used; no boiler feed pumps are required. The boiler should be placed at a level low enough for the condensation to drain back by gravity. If this is impracticable, then a centrifugal pump may be employed to return the condensed water to the boiler. A vacuum system should always be used when exhaust steam from the power plant is available. In a vacuum system of distribution, the back pressure should not exceed i pound, as otherwise the losses will outweigh the gain. The fan system is undoubtedly the best for foundry heating and ventilating, and it is particularly adapted to the severe requirements of foundries, and other buildings of this construction, where there are large open spaces to be heated. The principal advantages of the fan system over direct radiation are: 584 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation 1. The thorough distribution of heat secured by discharging the air under pressure through suitable outlets, with sufl&cient velocity to carry the heat to the points where it is most needed without causing perceptible draughts. 2. No heat is wasted as in direct radiation, where a large part is sent directly through the walls, with slight effect upon the temperature of the building. The fan system affords means of supplying heat directly to the interior of the building. 3. No heat is wasted by heating unoccupied spaces, as along the roof and in the monitor. Tests of the fan system installed in foundries have, in certain instances, shown lower temperatures in the monitors than at 5 feet above the floor hne. 4. Fan systems heat up very much more rapidly in the morning, when it is desirable to bring up the temperature in as short time as possible. 5. It gives a rapid warm air change, which effectually removes smoke, steam and dust during pouring time; an effect possible only with a fan system. During such periods, when ventilation is required, the fresh and return air dampers should be adjusted to take all the air from out of doors. During the remainder of the day, however, the greater part of the air should be returned from the building to the apparatus, so that the heat required for ventilation may be the least possible. Precaution should always be taken to see that this feature is provided for. 6. Fan systems cost less to install properly, since the apparatus is centrally located, and it is not necessary to pipe the steam to all parts of the building as in direct radiation. 7. The cost of maintenance is less, since the radiating surface of a direct system along the walls is frequently damaged, while in the cen- trally-located fan apparatus, it is thoroughly protected. As in direct radiation, steam or hot water can be used in the fan system heater coils; but as the cool air is drawn over these coils by the fan, a great deal more heat is obtained from the same amount of heating surface. This permits the square feet of radiation to be re- duced about two-thirds. The fan is often driven by a direct-connected steam engine, the exhaust from which is used in the heater coils. This is an exceedingly economical method, as practically all of the heat of the steam is utilized. A new type of fan heating system, which is giving the highest degree of satisfaction, has been developed by the Buffalo Forge Company; this is the direct air furnace system. Instead of burning 'fuel under boilers , generating steam, transferring steam from boilers to heater coils through Heating and Ventilating 585 a long run of pipe, and finally giving up heat to air from the heater coils, this system transfers the heat of the burning fuel directly to the air for distribution. An efficiency of 85 to 90 per cent has actually been attained, as against the usual efficiency of 50 to 60 per cent derived from steam service. The Buffalo Forge Company has made many installations using gas for fuel, and recently erected one in which pow- dered coal was used. Fuel oil can also be employed. The construc- tion of the furnace is similar to that for a water tube boiler. The hot gasses pass through the tubes, a fan draws the circulating air around the tubes, by which it is heated, and then distributes it through the building. Fig. 244 shows one of these furnaces recently installed in an important factory in the West. The main hot air ducts from the fan are usually made of galvanized iron, and are carried in the roof trusses. When these ducts are placed at a height not exceeding 20 feet, the air may be delivered directly into the building through short outlets. The design of these outlets is of particular importance to the success of the system. The velocity must be properly proportioned to the height, to the size of the outlet and to the horizontal distance which the air is to be blown. The greater the distance and height above the floor, and the smaller the outlets, the higher the velocity must be to obtain the proper distribution. On the other hand, if the velocity is exces- sive for these conditions, objectionable draughts will be produced. In some cases the main pipe has to be placed too far above the floor to permit good distribution of heat at the floor line with short outlets. In such cases it is usual to provide drop pipes from the main at the columns or along the side walls. Where the drop pipes are placed at the colunms, each pipe is usually provided with two branches; one blowing toward the base of the windows at the side walls, the other blowing toward the center of the building. Where the drop pipes are extended downward at the side walls, it is usual to provide three outlets to each pipe, two blowing sidewise along the walls, and the third out- ward toward the center of the building. In wide buildings it is customary to run two lines of pipes along the columns on each side; while in narrower buildings it is possible to obtain an entirely satisfactory distribution of heat with one line of main pipe, having outlets so proportioned as to blow across the building to the further side. A very neat, though more expensive system of distribution is with underground main ducts, with galvanized iron vertical risers, arranged along the columns or side walls; or in some instances, as in particularly wide buildings, at both places. The system of outlets in this case will be practically the same as where drop pipes are used. Fans may be either motor or engine driven. When an 5S6 Water Supply, Lighting, Heating and Ventilation abundance of exhaust steam is available for use in the heater coils, the motor-driven fan will be found the more economical and satisfactory. It is preferred by many on account of the simplicity of operation and the shght care and attention required. With small fans it is good practice to direct-connect the motor to the fan; but with the larger apparatus the speed of operation is so low as to make it advisable to belt-drive the fan, by reason of the high cost of slow speed motors. Engine -driven fans are advisable when moderately high pressure steam is available. The steam can be used to drive the fan and the exhaust is available for the heater coils. This method is exceedingly economical, since prac- tically all of the heat is utihzed. The power used to drive the fan is almost negligible, as the engine is really little more than a pressure reducing valve. The speed of operation with engine drive is also much more flexible, allowing a wider range of speed, as may be necessitated by varying weather conditions. Direct radiation and the fan system of heating cost practically the same to install, the fan system as a rule being somewhat cheaper. Of course, with the fan system, the power necessary to drive the fan is additional, and it might seem that the operating expense would be somewhat more than with direct radiation ; but the more equable distribution of heat by the fan system cuts down the losses and reduces the radiating surface materially. The operating expenses of the two systems, however, vary little in the long run. " CHAPTER XXVII FOUNDRY ACCOUNTS Any system of foundry accounting must be subject to variation in details to meet the requirements of different classes of work. A system suitable for a foundry producing pipe, car wheels or other standard work must be modified in some of its details to adapt it to the requirements of a jobbing foundry. The value of an accounting system, aside from determining the cost of production, Ues in r-educing the expenses and in pointing out by comparative analysis the direction in which reductions can be made. Cost keeping is too often neglected. Many foundrymen establishing prices, etc., by those of competitors, have absolutely no knowledge of actual costs. There are few branches of business in which the indirect expenses, those apart from the cost of material and labor, exceed those of the foundry. Only by constant comparison, by tracing increase or decrease from one period to another, and continually following lines indicating improved results, can the expenses be made to approach the minimum. An effective cost system must not only furnish accurate results, but must furnish them promptly, so as to permit ready and periodical com- parison. Prompt information as to any means of increasing production or of decreasing losses or costs greatly enhances its value. The system must not be so elaborate as to render it impractical, but simplicity must not be accompanied with neglect. One that is not accurately or system- atically followed is worse than useless. Any effective system requires a large amount of clerical work, but the results are profitable in the high- est degree. The one given below has been in satisfactory use by a large manu- facturing establishment, making castings for its own consimaption. An order emanates from the management, going to the drawing room. There it is given a shop order number. A form bearing this number is filled out, showing the patterns required, the drawing number, pattern number and number of castings wanted from each pattern, date of delivery from the foundry and any changes to be made. This form, No. I, passes to the Requisition Clerk, who makes a requisition in quad- 587 588 Foundry Accounts ruple, form No. 2, on the foundry. This form is about six by nine inches; and as many sets of blanks, all bearing the same shop order number, are used as are required. These forms are in shape for indexing with guide cards. Three of each set of these forms after completion are sent to the foundry, and the fourth is filed in the office. Of the three sets sent to the foundry, one is marked "Foundry Requisi- tion," one "Pattern Shop" and the third "Core Room." The foundry clerk fills in date of receipt, date for delivery of patterns and cores and the casting date; then, having marked on them the deUveries required, he transmits to the Pattern Shop and Core Room their respective requisitions. The Pattern Shop and Core Room fore- men each stamp them with date of receipt. Form 2. FOUNDRY REQUISITION Williams & Jones Shop Order, 5486. Date, 3/9/10. Castings wanted, 4/4/10. For 25 9x12 C.

He therefore fixes the date for completion at 3/31/ 10; this allows four days to provide for any contingencies. The Foundry Requisition is then filed under its floor date." At the end of each week the index cards up to that date are with- drawn from the front and passed to rear of card box. There are enough cards in the box to cover six months or a year as desired. Any unfilled orders at the end of the week are advanced to the first date of the coming week, so that the current orders are aU at the front of the box. Each day the foreman and clerk spend time to select orders and make out a program for the next heat. As the orders are completed, each requisition with its supplementary orders is filed away for reference. The Foundry Pattern Loft is divided into two parts, one for uncom- pleted orders (Live End), and the other for completed orders (Dead End). The patterns are delivered by Pattern shop at the Live End. A man from Pattern Storage has a book in which he takes receipts for patterns delivered. He also receipts for patterns which he removes from Dead End. Precisely the same system is pursued with core boxes. The Pattern Shop delivers and removes the boxes, taking and giving receipts. Attached to each pattern is a tag, on which all the data above the heavy line is made out in Pattern Shop : all below is filled out in Foundry. PATTERN CARD o Moulder's Tag. Foundry Tag.

When the pattern is issued to the moulder, the clerk tears off and retains the foundry tag on which 590 Foundry Accounts the time is entered and then filed away. The moulder's tag is de- stroyed when pattern is removed to storage. The foreman of core room enters time of core makers on core room requisition. It will be noticed that the clerk has not only entered on the Foundry tag the time of John Hayes, but also that of Wm. Moran, helper. There must be a case in which are kept cards showing records of pig iron, scrap, coke, sand, sea coal, fire clay and any other material re- ceived in car lots. PIG IRON CARD Car, N. P.

The Heat Book is given on page 592. In this book the foreman enters for the coming heat the irons which are to be used and the mixture. The remainder of the account may be filled out later by the clerk after returns are made. This book is of the greatest importance as it enables 592 Foundry Accounts the foreman to repeat at once any mixture used at any time, or for any particular purpose. The sheet shown is for the heat of 2/22/ from which 4 cyUnders are to be poured and a special charge (the first) containing 10 per cent steel scrap is made. The cylinders weigh about 500 pounds each, and as there are crank disc and other castings requiring strong iron, the entire first charge will contain steel. The charges are 4000 pounds each, and the mixture is uniform through- out the heat, except for first and last charges. Turning to the Pig Iron Book, the foreman selects such iron as will furnish the desired mixture for cylinders, also those for the remaining charges and enters them on the heat book. A memorandum is given the boss of the yard gang, showing the car numbers and the amount of iron from each car for each charge. The number of charges for the ordinary mixture is left blank until later in the day, when the total amount to be melted is ascertained. The weighman has a pad of forms upon which he prepares a slip for each charge giving the car number, weight of iron from each car, weight of coke and lime. Each charge of iron is piled by itself on cupola platform in regular order. The coke with limestone is sent up in cars as the charging of cupola proceeds.

He enters the shop order numbers, pattern numbers, names of parts and nmnber of parts made. This report then goes to foreman of clean- ing room, who completes it, sending one copy to the foundry ofl&ce and the other to the work's office. The form is given on page 597. As many sheets as are necessary are used for each heat. The Time Book, Weigh Tickets, Foundry Returns and Cleaning Room Report furnish all the data, except analysis and test, for completion of entry in heat book for 3 22 10. Information as to the last two items is obtained from time to time as required. The heat report is made out in duplicate; original sent to Works Office and duplicate filed in Foundry. This is followed by a weekly summary. At the end of each month an inventory is taken of all supplies; and their cost, per himdred poimds good castings, is determined for the month passed. This cost is used in making out foundry reports for the succeeding month. All supplies except the btilky materials, such as sand, fire clay, etc. are kept in store room and are issued upon requisition from foremen or clerk, upon blanks as per sketch. Requisition on Dale, 3/21/10. Store Keeper, Issue to Jno. Sullivan, 5 Pounds Silver Lead. Wm. Wilson, Foreman. These requisitions, together with tallies of sand, fire clay, etc., are turned into office by store keeper at end of month. Careful scrutiny and comparison of these monthly statements and expenditures result in marked savings. They promote among the departments a strife for the lowest record. The reduction in the amount of core supplies, nails, rods and sand is especially noticeable. As regards iron flasks and other castings made for the foundry, if they are for permanent equipment, they are so charged. If on the other hand they are for temporary ser\dce, they are charged to foundry at cost of labor, plus the difference between the cost of good castings and scrap. Monthly comparisons, or more frequent if desired, are made with statements from the works office. Comparisons are likewise made at the end of the fiscal year.

It involves considerable clerical work, but one clerk can handle it. Some modifications are required to adapt it to a jobbing foundry. These are indicated at once and are readily made. As showing different methods of foundry accounting, each having its advantages and disadvantages, papers presented on the subject to the American Foundrymen's Association by Mr. B. A. FrankHn and Mr. J. P. Golden are given. . . One can be developed from the lot which will meet any requirement. AMERICAN FOUNDRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION Foundry Costs By B. a. Franklin, Boston, Mass. "... Form I illustrates the first method of foundry cost showing: The operations are divided into the elements of^ Section A Melting, Moulding Metal. 2. Fuel. 3. Melting Expense. Section B 4. Moulding Labor. 5. Moulding Expense — Floor and Bench separately Section C 6. Cleaning Labor. 10. Pickling. 7. Cleaning Expense. 11. Pickling Expense. 8. Tumbling Labor. 12. Sand Blasting Labor. 9. TumbUng Expense. 13. Sand Blasting Expense. Foundry Costs 613 Section D 14. Core Labor. 15. Core Expense. Section E 16. General Expense. "In discussing this system no attempt is made to discuss the method of getting the information because such methods are simple and easily worked out." "The Basic Costs are illustrated in Form i, which shows the weekly operation of the foundry as a whole, and Form 2 represents the cost of an actual casting. Form 3 represents the monthly foundry showing of profit and loss, ofifering means of proof of the foundry cost and show- ing the net result. " ". . . As nearly as possible foundry shop economy demands, and foundry work permits a daily clean-up, though, of course, some oper- ations happen one day after the beginning." "A foundry cost might then be a daily record sheet. ' Weekly records, however, are sufi&cient generally, and the one presented is on this basis. " Form i ^'Section A. Deals with metal." "Here is shown, separately for each different mixture, of which one foundry might generally employ two or three, the weights and value of iron charged. These weights may readily be proved by checking as each car or lot of scrap is used up. In the case of scrap made in the foundry or 'own scrap' no value is put on -this since it' is put into the heat in an iron foundry, on the basis that scrap made on each heat will be approximately the same per cent, and what is made one day is gathered up and used the next day. The exception to this is in the case of 'bad castings,' charged at scrap value, and, as seen later, accounted for in casting cost." "In a Steel Foundry it would be necessary to change all scrap at scrap value and credit same to particular castings. " "The 'metal-used' value is shown and the pounds melted, 'but the 'metal cost' is obtained by dividing, not by pounds melted, but by poimds of 'castings made' — i.e., good and bad castings. The bad castings are to be charged to the particular order as will be seen later. We thus arrive at a weekly metal cost for each mixture. " "Likewise for purposes 'of general guidance, there is shown weekly the 'per cent, of good castings to melt,' the 'per cent of bad castings 6i4 Foundry Accounts to castings made,' and the per cent of metal disappearance or 'per cent of loss.' " "Now for management guidance toward general shop economy, these figures present standards and bases for striving for lower costs — viz., to make the percentage of good castings to the melt as high as possible, to make the percentage of bad castings to castings made as low as possible, and the record will quickly show that the cost fluctuates with these conditions." "And it will be found that melting and handling of metal and fuel can be done on piece work to bring best economy in metal-cost." "A definite and valuable point to note is that in addition to the weekly figure of cost per pound, there is carried along the average or 'period cost per pound.' This is the figure to be used in cost work. J) "... The weekly figures are constantly compared with the period figures showing whether the weekly result is better or worse than the average, and an observation of the detail shows why. ..." " In each section it will be noted that the costs are brought down to a few vital units or percentages, and when these vary, they are significant of a gain or loss in economy of production, the reason for which can be readily observed by casting the eye up the details and observing the comparison of them." "... Section B. Moulding. — Here are two elements to be con- sidered — productive labor and expense. The expense is shown in relation to productive labor. It may be shown in relation to hours if desired, but in each class of moulding labor there is generally no great fluctuation of rate per hour. ..." "The productive labor and expense should be kept separately as to class of moulding, as floor, bench, machine, etc., since the expense varies considerably with the class." "... A little thought and experiment would seem to show that on the whole the expenses approximately vary according to time spent in productive labor rather than by the pound. " "In the matter of productive labor it is to be understood that money paid for moulding each job, whether day work or piece work, is to be known and used in figuring definite casting, as shown in Form 2." "It is in this productive labor cost that the first element of variation in casting costs is to be found, the expense percentage being the same or taken as the same, except in the matter of certain direct charges or expenses to be discussed later. " Foundry Costs 615 "Section C. Cleaning Castings. — In the matter of cleaning castings there must be some division. Tiunbling, pickling, and sand blasting are taken separately as shown below. This leaves for consideration here the cleaning of castings by other than these three methods and applies mainly to large castings. ..." " . . . In Tumbling the labor can best be put on piece work and will generally be done by the pound, and expenses will be shown by the pound. ..." ''In Sand Blasting and Pickling the expenses are shown in relation to productive labor, and the work can be put on piece work. ..." "Section D. Core Room. — Here the labor can in the main be put on f>iece work and the expenses shown in detail. ..." "Section E. . . . General Expenses. — This is shown in relation to productive labor, the items of productive labor being those of Moulding, Core Making and Cleaning operations. "... Thus we arrive at certain weekly and period basic figures of cost in the main elements in the foundry of Metal. Core Making. Moulding. General Expenses. Cleaning. "The items of metal and expense are easily provable with the books monthly, .and the labor with the pay roll weekly, so that we get a proved weekly picture of the foundry situation as compared with average or period, and we get it in such detail as will show the reasons of all varia- tions of operation. ..." "Consideration of Casting Cost. The first element to consider is that of direct charges. In many jobs, but by no means all of them, are certain charges which it seems desirable should be charged directly to the particular order. They need in most foundry work be very small in number. These charges must essentially be gathered and held until the job is shipped and cost ready to work out. " Form 2 "Form 2 illustrates this final casting cost." "In all castings finished in a given period, the varying elements of unit cost would be purely the productive labor items of moulding and cleaning and direct charges, the metal, fuel, melting, moulding, cleaning and general expense charges being taken from the period figures on the weekly cost sheet." "Therefore, in working out the cost of a finished casting, it is essential to know of it as a particular job; the weight — and the shipping slip 6i6 Foundry Accounts gives that; the moulding and core making labor and the cleaning labor, whefe average rates per pound are not used. " "... Direct charges are added and also loss on bad castings. A record of bad castings is necessary and simple." "On bad castings the loss would depend on how far the work had progressed when discovered as bad, and what work on them had been paid for. The metal, of course, would be credited at scrap value." "By this method then it will be observed that with very small clerical labor, the practical foundryman or manager gets a weekly, or daily, if he so designs, view of his foundry costs and their fluctuations which form a definite and correct basis for accurate estimate, and he can very quickly get a particular job or casting cost by having the money spent on moulding and cleaning, etc., gathered." "The Cost System settled, the bookkeeping should be made to parallel the cost system, in which case the monthly showing would be made to show as per Form 3." "Thus is obtained a complete monthly analysis. In most foundries one clerk and almost invariably two, can operate the system as far as costs are concerned." Cost of Metal 617 Metal — Section A.

The system consists of, first: a Daily Cupola Report, the printed form having column for charge, number of poimds coke and brand, pounds pig iron and brand, and per cent silicon and sulphur, scrap, foreign and returns, and total charge also hues for weekly totals for use in weekly report. Ratio of coke to iron. Time blast started. Time bottom dropped. Average blast pressure. Per cent sulphur in heat. Per cent silicon in heat. Remarks. With each sheet signed by foreman. 626 Foundry Accounts "Second: The Daily Foundry Report, which is made up by the Riunbhng Room foreman. This report consists of a sheet, with columns for name of moulder, hoiur or piece rate, niunber of moulds, number of castings, time of helper, pattern description with columns for weights of the various classes of work, as pulleys, sheaves, hangers, hanger boxes, pillow blocks, couplings, cane mills, factories, miscellaneous, etc. Also colmnn for number of pieces lost, total weight of each kind of piece lost, and a cause column for same, showing if it did not run, if it was crushed, blowed, or whatever cause of defect. There is a line at bottom of sheet for weekly totals to be used in weekly report. The daily foundry report furnishes a ready means of comparison of each moulder's record, with his own, or with other moulders as to quantity of good castings, castings lost, weight and cost of same. This report also shows the amount of good and bad castings for each day, in each class, with the weekly total for each. '^ Third: There is a book for defective and other castings returned from shop and customers, in which is the following rule: 'AH castings returned by machine shop and customers, before being made over, must be entered in this book, giving cause for making over. Castings returned to foundry from shop or cus- tomers, through no fault of foundry, must not be deducted from net foundry castings, and should be considered as foreign scrap. If fault of foundry, they are charged back to foundry and are con- sidered as foundry return scrap.' This book has columns for showing date returned, by whom, descrip- tion, cause and weight. Without this book, there could be returned defective castings, which were the foundry's fault and made over with- out the superintendent's knowledge. With the "to be made over" casting book, all castings returned are specified therein. If the fault of the machine shop, it is so stated. If returned from customers, this is noted with date, description, cause and weight. No casting is made over without being recorded in this book. This book, being always open to superintendent and foreman, saves inquiries and explanations. . . . ^^ Fourth: The Weekly Foundry Report Sheet. This sheet is made up from the daily foundry report, and cupola sheets and the book (to be made over castings). On this sheet, provision is made for record of bad castings returned from foundry, shop or customer, by classes, as well as the good castings made. The total of good castings minus defective castings gives net good castings for week. The average per cent of all castings lost is given, with the per cent loss in each class, with the total pounds pig and foreign scrap charged in cupola, and the net A Successful Foundry Cost System 627 good castings deducted therefrom, we find the per cent lost in remelt, cupola droppings, gangways, etc. The weekly foundry report also has a record of total melt taken from daily cupola sheet, which with net good castings deducted gives per cent, bad castings, gates, etc., of total melt, including foreign scrap, returns and pig. In a division headed cupola charge is given the number of pounds pig iron, foreign scrap and coke, with current price of each and total cost per week. To these amounts are added the total wages, giving a total of material and wages for week, which divided by the net good castings gives the cost per 100 pounds, net castings, including pig iron, scrap, coke, wages. "The weekly report also has separate divisions for non-producers, rumbling department, moulding department, core shop, day and night cleaning gangs, in which the wages of each class of men in each division are given separately, by total, and the wage cost per hundred pounds. . . . The weekly report also embodies the grand total wages cost per 100 pounds, and this is the most important item, for both foreman and superintendent, for this item is one which the foreman can control to the greatest extent, and which speaks the loudest in favor of the system. " "... In connection with the weekly report is a detailed report of the pounds of good castings, to whom sold or charged, and price for each lot, and from this sheet is prepared, on the back of the weekly report, a statement giving the estimated profit or loss for week." "And lastly, there is a ready reference sheet (headed Comparison of Per cents, Wages Cost per 100 Pounds in Different Departments of Foundry from Weekly Foundry Report) giving the comparison by weeks and the average comparison at the end of each year of the fol- lowing items after date. Net good castings for week, castings killed, in machine shop with columns for the per cent loss of each of the several classes of castings, each class in a separate column, gives a ready means of comparison in that class for all of its weeks. "There are also columns for the cost per week per 100 pounds, net castings including pig iron, scrap, coke and wages, the wage cost per 100 pounds, in the non-producers, rumbling and moulding departments, also the core shop, day and night cleaning gangs with a column for grand total wage cost per 100 pounds. "Both the superintendent and foreman have access to the several reports giving each the means of knowing the actual conditions in all departments of the foundry at all times. ' "This system gives the foreman the means of remedying a small or defective output by the knowledge of the cause producing it, and to place each moulder upon the class of work to which he is best fitted to increase the general output." 628 Foundry Accounts £3 i o a S i J ^q3pA\ ^SOX S903ld jaquin^ snoauBi Ajo^objI snuiuini sjiTm au-B3 s3uTt $ net castings. ) No. Rumbling Departmeni Wages Foreman.

Goldens' Foundry & Machine Co. Week ending CHAPTER XXVIII PIG IRON DIRECTORY The Classification and Directory of Pig Iron Brands given herewith are taken from Professor Porter's Report. "Pig Iron is classified as: First. — Cold, Warm or Hot Blast. Second. — Coke, Anthracite or Charcoal. Third. — Sand or Machine. Fourth. — Basic, Bessemer, Malleable, Foundry or Forge. "It is only necessary to define the fourth classification as the others are self-explanatory. " "Basic iron means primarily one with low silicon. The standard for this grade having silicon under i per cent and sulphur under 0.05 per cent." " Bessemer iron means primarily phosphorus under i per cent. Stand- ard Bessemer contains from i to 1.25 per cent silicon with sulphur under 0.05, but the grade is essentially based on low phosphorus. Irons with extra low phosphorus and variable siHcon are sometimes designated as low phosphorus irons." "Foundry and Forge Irons embrace practically everything in the way of ordinary iron, these grades being subdivided on the basis of siHcon and sulphur content." "The following subclassification of Foundry and Forge iron has been agreed upon by the blast furnace interests of the districts indicated: Classification and Grades of Foundry Iron Southern Points No. I foundry No. 2 foundry No. 3 foundry No. 4 foundry Gray forge No. I soft No. 2 soft Silicon, per cent Sulphur, per cent 2.75-3.25 .05 and under 2.25-2.75 .05 " 1.75-2.25 .06 " 1.25-2.00 .07 " I. 25-1. 75 .08 " 3 . 00 and over .05 " 2.5(^3.25 .05 " 633 634 Pig Iron Directory Classification and Grades of Foundry Iron (Continued) Eastern Points No.iX No. 2X No. 2 plain No. 3 foundry No. 2 mill Gray forge Mottled and White by Fracture, Cen- tral West and Lake Points No. I foundry No. 2 foundry No. 3 foundry Gray forge Buffalo Grading Scotch No. I foundry No. 2 foundry No. 2 plain No. 3 foundry Gray forge Silicon, per cent 2.75 and up 2.25-2.75 1.75-2.25 I .25-1. 75 1 . 25 and under 1.50 " 2.25-2.75 1.75-2.25 1 . 75 and under 3 .

"Charcoal is not as a rule graded according to the above table but is sold by fracture, by analysis, by chill tests, or by some special system of grading according to the custom of the maker and demand of the purchaser. " " It will be noted that so far as Foundry iron is concerned the grading system is based exclusively on silicon and sulphur. One reason for this is that the phosphorus and manganese are fixed by the composition of the ores used, whereas the silicon and sulphur can be varied at will by shght changes in the method of operating the furnace. Since in many, perhaps, the majority of, cases a blast furnace will be limited to a very few ores as a source of supply, it follows that it will be limited also in the range of phosphorus and manganese in the iron it produces. For this reason, a given brand of iron will usually run fairly constant as regards phosphorus and manganese, although its silicon and sulphur can be varied at the wish of the management. However, this condition, while common, is not imiversal, for some concerns possess a variety of ores and can by mixing them produce iron of any composition desired. Coke and Anthracite Irons 635 "In using this directory please bear in mind that it is not infallible. Much of the data has been difficult to get, a few concerns refusing abso- lutely to furnish information. Again, in some cases time brings changes in ownership and character of ore supply, etc., and of course, these things will affect the character of the product. In spite of these defic- iencies, however, it is believed that the following tables represent the most accurate information along these lines available at the present time and that they will be found of considerable value." "Finally, it must be emphasized that the use of the data is not to tell the foundryman the exact analysis of any carload of any brand, but rather to help him locate those brands which have, or can be made to have a composition suitable for his work." "In these tables the percentage of sulphur is not usually given. It should be understood that all furnaces strive for, and usually obtain, low sulphur in their iron. Practically all foundry grades are sold on the understanding that the sulphur is under 0.05 per cent and hence no useful purpose is served in giving the sulphur range except in a very few cases where it normally runs unusually low."
