NEW STEEL

trio Furnace Method.
Details regarding the manufacture
of steel in the electric furnace. as de-
scribeu by Vi. Outlet at a recent meet
ing of the Societe des %Ingenieurs Civils.
are given in the Paris correspondence
of the Electrical Review. On the con
tinent there has been considerable
progress in the production of steel by
the electric method. In Italy Comand-
ant Stassans. who is one Of the leading
champions Of the process, has been car
rying on a number Of researches in or
der to find the best and most economi-
cal methods. He claims to have been
very successful with his recent process
es and recommends especially the use
of the arc by reverberatiOn. A new
type Of furnace built on this plan has
lately been adopted by the Italian gov
eminent and is under the control of
the war department. In other countries
there is also considerable progress.
A new method which it is purposed
to use at the German factory consists
in first heating Siemens-M Martin steel
and then Introducing it into the electric
furnace, the latter carrying out the
final processing of the steel, thus turn
ing out a high grade product. In this
way it is expected to replace the ordi-
nary grades Of steel by a superior
quality for use in general work, where
heretofore the common grades of steel
have been employed. 1t is found that
the steel which is turned out by the
Froges-Heroult process is superior to
the ordinary steel by reason of the fact
that for an identical chemical compost
ton, or. again. for an equal breaking
strain, the new steel shows a greater
elOngation and a higher resistance to
shock than the usual carbon steels,
even including crucible steels. This Is
considered % be due to the neutral
atmosphere which Is obtained in the
electric furnace and the absence of
gases. Another point to be especially
noted in regard to the steel made by
the electric process is that it shows
a much less reformation after temper
ing than other steels.
