This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 Excerpt: ...alloys, can no more produce a perfect alloy from a recipe than a school-boy can produce perfect writing from his first copy. ALLOYS OF IRON. All admixtures added to iron make it more fusible than when pure, although the admixtures added may not be a metal. Lead can be alloyed with iron in small quantities. A small amount of lead causes iron to be soft and tough, but too much causes it to be extreme cold-short. Copper, if alloyed with iron, causes it to be extreme red-short, and more than one per cent. of copper will cause it to be cold-short; but a small amount of copper will increase the strength of iron when cold. Arsenic imparts a beautiful white color to iron, resembling silver, but it makes it very brittle. Tin, when alloyed with iron, makes a beautiful fine white metal, and when the tin and iron is alloyed about half-and-half, the alloy is as hard as steel; but it cannot be forged. Chromium, alloyed with iron, makes an alloy that is as hard as diamond; but it is very difficult to make this alloy. Silver, alloyed with iron in small quantities, causes the iron to be very hard and brittle, and very liable to corrode. Gold can be alloyed with iron in any amount. It causes the iron to be more yellow and tough. This alloy is principally used as a solder for small iron castings. Carbon makes iron more fusible. From one to two per cent. of carbon, added to iron, makes hard castiron, and from five to six per cent. makes number one foundry iron. More than five or six per cent, of carbon causes iron to be very brittle, and less than one per cent. of carbon causes iron to be very hard and brittle. Sulphur causes iron to be both hard and brittle, either when hot or cold, and it causes molten iron to be shortlived. Fuel with sulphur in it should not be used for mel...
