CLAPP.GRIFFITIIs STEEL IN TIE NAVY.


Washington. Feb IL (SpecaD.-The Secretary of the
Navy decided today to authorize the use Of the Capp
Gririths sec, In the Navy. Hitherto the only steel
manulac .urcd by the openhcarth process has been
used in construction work. some time ago New
England steel company applied have tested plates
made according 70 the CappGrifths process but tho
request was opposed by the steel Board. The COM
pany represented that It's steel possessed Us good
qualities as the open-hcarth material and secretary
Tracy directed that the steel Board give the plate
thorough tes'. Since then over 200 pieces Of plata
have been tested as to elasticity, toughness and
strength. Some surprising results were obtained :;
among other developments, IT appeared that Clapp-
Griftls steel, at what is known blue heat dis
played none Of the brtcncss OF Opcn-hcarth steel in
that cOnd ion.
The fact that a touglncss is retained by the Clapp
Grn;hs steel in its condition of greatest weakness
would establish its equality with the open hearth
crial The report of the inspectors of the long
test was accepted 10y the Secretary, although the
steel Board still oppose the adoption Of process
other than the openhearth. This tl't is part Of tho
Sccrcary's plan for removing the causes of delay in
the production and delivery of steel. Today's action
will extend tho field Of production and in in
stances. decrease the cost of transportation By bring
Ing the Of supply nearer the In tho
CiappGrfths process molten iron is taken and poured
Into a receiver. Air is then blown upward through
this molten metal. which IS thus raised to u partly
ing heat. The impurities are burned ont and a soft
clean and tough metal. known as Capp Grirths steel
Is produced.
