Book Description
Excerpt from The Electric Furnace in Iron and Steel Production In the year 1879 the late Sir William Siemens, of London, patented a crucible form of electric furnace. In this furnace he was able with comparative ease to melt 10 kg. Of iron or steel by aid of the electric current in one hour. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement and design Of this earliest crucible furnace for steel melting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Electro-Thermal Methods of Iron and Steel Production The Author is not connected by business relations with any of the patentees or companies exploiting the furnaces described; this fact should give added value to the handbook, and to the judgments expressed upon the various furnaces and processes dealt with. The appendix contains a large amount of useful information which it was not possible to incorporate in the body of the handbook. This includes (1) alist (based on official information) of all the electric furnaces for Iron and Steel Production in opera tion or under construction in 1912; (2) The titles and dates of all the more important British Patents relating to the subject and granted during the period 1901 - 1912 (3) Reprints in full of the text of British Patents which are of special interest, and (4) Abstracts of and notes from recent valuable papers on Electric refining.

Book Description
Excerpt from Electric Furnaces for Making Iron and Steel The quality of pig iron obtained, with especial reference to its suitability for (a) steel manufacture by (1) Bessemer or Siemen's acid process or (2) Bessemer or Siemen's basic process; and (b) foundry purposes. The tests, performed on March 19, 20, and 21, 1904, marked the real beginning of the present practice of the reduction of iron ores in an electric furnace, for although, as will be seen later, the fur naces in use for this purpose at present differ considerably in con struction from the Keller furnace, the principle employed is the same - namely, the ore, flux, and reducing agent are fed around the electrodes, and the heat generated by the current passing through the charge raises the temperature of the ore and fluxes to their melt ing point, and thus enables the carbon to reduce the ore with which it is mixed.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Electric Furnace in Iron and Steel Production In May, 1906, the Author was invited by the Publishers of the Iron Trade Review of Cleveland, U.S.A., to contribute to that paper a series of articles upon the electric furnace methods of iron and steel production. The articles were written, and they appeared in that Journal during the second half of the year 1906,-they were also published in The Electrician (London) at a later date. In view of the success which has attended certain of the furnaces and processes for refining iron and steel by aid of electric heat, it is thought possible that the collection and publication of these articles in more permanent form may prove a useful contribution to the literature of this new branch of electro-metallurgy. The present industrial development of these new methods and processes is no doubt small and insignificant when compared with the vast extent and magnitude of the iron and steel industries.
