HISTORY OF CAST STEEL.
How the secret of Its Manufacture Wai
Revealed to the World.

How the Secret of Its Manufacture Was
Revealed to the World.
The history of cast steel presents
curious instance of a manufacturing
secret stealthily obtained under the
cloak of an appeal to philanthropy. The
main distinction between iron and steel,
as most people know, is that the latter
contains carbon. The one is converted
into the other by being heated for
considerable time in contact with pow
dercd charcoal in an iron box. Now
steel thus made is unequal. The mid
die of bar is more carbonized than
the ends, and the surface more than the
center. 1t is, therefore, unreliable.
Nevertheless, before the invention of
cast steel there was nothing better.
In 1870 there lived at Atterclitfe, near
Sheffield, a Matchmaker named Hunts
man. He became dissatisfied with the
watch springs in use, and set himself
TO the task of making them homoge-
ncous. If" thought he, Il can melt
u piece of steel and cast it into an ingot,
its composition should be the same
throughout" lie succeeded. His steel
soon became famous. Huntsman' singots
| for fine work were in universal demand.
lie did not call them cast steel.
That was his secret. About ITO q
large manufactory of this peculiar
steel was established at Atterclitfe.
