TAPPING" STEEL.
The Way Manufacturers Conceal De.
fects In the CASTING.

1t might very naturally have been
thought that if there was one trade
which could be said 10 be free from
trickery and taking il was that of steel
manufacture. The mere fact that steel
is SYNONYMOUS with strength would
seem to bear out this view. And yet
methods are sometimes adopted in the
making of steel which once again illus
tate the saying that there are tricks
l.. every trade.
AT the same time it must be admit
ted that some of these tricks when car
ried out do not necessarily mean q
leSsening in the soundness and quality
OF the material. For instance. it some
times happens that i'll casting piece
OF steel what is known as a blow
hole occurs. Often this is not noticed
until the steel has been cut and trim
need for the required purpose. In such
case the hole is usually tapped and
Il we'll fitting screw inserted, the head
OF the latter being filed off so closely
To the metal that il needs an expert
eye to detect any unusual feature.
| This is trick which makes no differ
e1tt III ttle VI inc HlSlsli anu
| consequently is quite harmless.
Sometimes. however, crack ap-
pears in Il piece of metal which it is
| impossible to remedy by the usual eX
padients of hammering and rolling.
The careful manufacturer will put the
| piece on one side and make Il fresh
casting. for if such piece of metal
| a n
stance. it might split at time of extra
strain and SO bring untold disaster.
On the other hand, the manufactrlr-
er may decide that he cannot afford to
| throw the faulty casting on one side.
| and in order to cover the defect ii IS
| put in the open air to rust. The wealth
er will most likely be found to have
| filled the crack by the time the cast
ing is required. and no one outside the
foundry will have known of its exist
ence until perhaps it causes Il vessel to
become disabled. And. as it is almost
impossible to tell afterward how the
| crack originated. the maker Is quite
| secure from blame.
One of the most sensational scandals
which have agitated the engineering
world for some years past came tC
| light not long ago in connection with
It's building of great battleship
After n trial trip she was found to bc
somewhat leaky. and an examination
Of some of the plates forming the side
of the vessel revealed the startling fact
that the rivets had been put in the
holes cold and simply calked.
When a ships plates are riveted to
gether 1t is usual not only of course tt
drive the rivets in red hot, but also t
calk them over with a special compost
ton as an extra caution against leak
age. In the case mentioned the build
er was working under contract ard II
order to save time resorted to the tricl
described. The result was that thu
strain on the plates quickly loosenet
the calking, and some of the riyet'
actually dropped out of the holes.-
