Abstract: 27,968. Benjamin, G. H. Dec. 4. Cast-iron processes; ore processes.-Impure iron is heated in the absence of oxidizing substances in an electric furnace with excess lime to remove the carbon and phosphorus. The process may be carried out in a furnace A having a shaft 10 and an electrically heated melting- chamber at the bottom, the charge consisting of ore, sufficient carbon to combine with the oxygen of the ore, and excess lime to combine with the free and combined carbon, the phosphorus, and the silicon. Magnesia may also be added to combine with the nitrogen present. The molten iron obtained may be run into a separate electric furnace B where additions such as carbon, nickel, or vanadium may be made from hoppers 17 so as to obtain any desired steel. Powdered silica may be added in the passage connecting the two furnaces to increase the fluidity of the iron. A compound of an acid such as hydrofluoric acid, or of an alkali such as ammonia, may be added to the furnace B to act as a catalytic agent. The process may also be carried out by transferring basic fluxed steel from a mixer to an electric furnace in which it is treated with excess lime, and then transferring the product to a second electric furnace where the alloying materials are added.
