At the late meeting of the British Association in
Bristol, Mr. Mushet exhibited sonic specimens of malleable
iron, which he prepared by a peculiar process, and gave an ex-
position of his views in reference to the theory of smelting as
usually conducted. The iron, when first reduced in the upper
part of the surface, is in the malleable state, but in its progress
downwards is in virtue of exposure to a higher temperature,
and the redundancy of charcoal it encounters, converted first
into steel and finally into pig metal. This new process con-
sists in submitting the ore to the action alone which it experi.
ences in the upper part of the furnace—that is, in restraining
the heat and furnishing but a limited supply of carbon ; and
operating by such method, and without the use of lime, he
stated that he was able to obtain at once, and by a single pro-
cess, iron soft enough to be forged into nails.
