SOFT steel PIPE.

Is II Practicable to mnkeit" ATest Soon TO
be Made.
The american Manufacturer Of this week
has the following article OF especial IN
terest in this locality:
Can pipe be succcEsfuIly produced from
soft steel2
1t has always been contsnded by iron
men that on account OF the difficulty
with which 1t 10 welded, soft steel would
never bupsrcede iron for this purpose.
The National Tube Works Company
are about to put this matter to practical
test, and we have no doubt the adapt
ability OF steel for manufacture into tubes
Of all kinds will shortly beproyen beyond
o doubt.
Ordinary soft steel will, in all prob.
ability, be found wanting, as II Is known
to be deficient In Welding properties, IS
compared with iron, which is attributed
IN grestpart to the entire absence Of clnder,
which acts Gs a flux.
But this quality OF welding may be i'm.
parted to soft EtGel by increasing the per.
csntage OF manganese, which Is readily
aud cheIply accomplished. This increase
OF manganese will have tendency to
harden the metal and produce Gold.short-
ness, but as neither Of these qualities Is a
detrimGnt 10 common pipe, tney may be
disregarded.
Again, as Is we'll known, high.phos.
phorus or cold.short iron, is the easiest
welded, and works better In every respect
while hot than any other; so that II Is
reasonable to suppose that common pig
might DO used for making special steel
for this purpose, with the double advau.
tage Of cheapness and improved Welding
power.
olcourse one could not presume much
on the quality Of this product, but II
would probably be superior TO the pud.
died iron from the came material, because
Of Its homogeneity.
Unquestionably there will be more or
less trouble experienced in the FIRST use
OF steel Tor tubcs, not the least Of which
will be the education Of the workmen in
the best methods Of manipulation, but
taken all in all we believe that the use Of
steel in tho pipe Of the future, is assured.
