Not content with the manufacture
Of tool steel Of hardness, high-speed
cutting capacity and exquisite temper,
the modern master-smith has now pro.
duced a method Of converting soft
iron or low-grade steel into tool-steel
Of the highest grade simply by the in.
fusion of the necessary proportion of
carbon and other elements by contact
and proper heat treatment. so that
keen-edged chisels may be made from
railroad spikes and machine cutters
from soft and inexpensive steel.
Trials Of cutting tools made by the
Infusion process at the ordnance bureau
of the United States navy department
have given such remarkable results,
both as to cutting speed and endur-
ance, that the chief Of the bureau
says: From the test of the Infusion
treated SAMPLES At appears superior
to any hardening process now in use
at the naval gun factory" SO that the
modern master-smith has outstripped
the tabled tales of the wizard weap
