IRON. N, City. Iron may be carburized
or decarburized by concentration which ts a
metallurgical process in which two substances
are heateo In contact for the purpose of effect
lug some important chemical change in one
OIL tnem. Iron imbedded in charcoal powder
ana exposed to temper ature over redn ness is
gradually converted into steel, and in this
way steel was formerly made in large quanti-
ties. This is carburization by cementation.
Again II cast iron be imbeoded in the powder
OF hematite and kept for some tine at red
heat 1t is decarburized This method is used
ior producing what is known as malleabls
IRON. Malleable iron is also converted into
steel by keeping it in mo- ten pig iron. This is
very ancient process and is kind OF
cementation. Iron put on the market in
three forms which differ essentially in their
properties-cast iron, which is haro, com para
lively brittle and readily 1usible and cannot
be forged or welded; wrought iron, which is
com paratively soft, malleable, duetile, welda.
bic and fusible at very high temperature.
steel, which is also malleabie and weIdable
but fusible and, what is of great importance
capable OF acquiring, by being tempered, a
very high degree OF hardness, so that in onts

blast furnace, OF which wrought ir, n ana sleel
are madei is called pig iron, but its Qualities are
not sensibly changed by simple remeltinp and
casting. Steel, formerly produced exclusively
