Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
'OTISBOYDEN, OF-NEWABK, NEW
IMPROVEMENT IN ALt'ovs OVF'" men, 'z-mc, AND NlCKE L.
' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 8,114, dated May 27, 1851.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, Girls BOYDEN, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have. invented a new Mode of Making Wrought; or Malleable GastIron, either direct from the ores or from ordinary cast-iron; and
I do herebydeclare that the following isa fullandexact account of a description of said in-v vention.
The nature or my invention consists in the manufacture of wrought or malleable cast-iron, either directly from the ores or from ordinary cast-iron, and the application of the following chemical agents-namely: first, metallic zinc, either pure or the ordinary spelter of commerce; second, an alloy of zinc and nickel. The application of these chemical agents consists in mixing them-that is, the zinc alone or combined with nickel in any mannerand in proper quantities-with the crude iron, or with ,iron ores whilein a fused state during the process of ordinary manufacture, or of any mode of manufacturing or purifying iron what ever. I
In addition to the general use of the above agents, in their application to the purifying of iron and improving its qualities, the following is the particular mode of their use as invented by me. A convenient quantity of cast-ironis melted, and this is highly and properly alloyed with the said agents-one or' both of them-according to the quantity of iron de-' sired to be produced. After being so alloyed it is cast into small pieces or into bars, which may be easily broken into small pieces. Such pieces or fragments of alloyed iron are the vehicles of my agents, and most convenient for my' application. For instance, a small and suitable amount of the first or of the two combined may be introduced into an ordinary pud- .dling-i'urnace already charged, and by their simple introduction and mixture with such charge of cast-iron orores in a fused slate such iron may be made bythe ordinary process into wrought or malleable iron having many superior qualities. 'TheSe chemical agents in this vehicle may be similarly applied in an ordi-' nary pu'rifying'or air furnace, or in an-ordinarycupola-furnace, or in a furnace for making wrought-iron directly from the ore. These agents may be applied separately or combined, according to the qualities which i with one-fourth percentum of nickel, and this makes another quality of wrought or malleable iron.
By this invention many advantages are secured.
First. The iron is more rapidly and easilypurified from all foreign admixture and impurities.
Second. Theironis morepure,dense,strong,
ductile, and malleable.
Third. The qualities of the iron may be varied to suitany required purpose, being sus ceptible of special hardness or softness or other variations. I I What[ claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The making of wrought or malleable iron, either from ordinary iron or from the ore, by the use or application of metallic zinc; or spelter, and by the use of zinc andnickel'combined, as hereinhefore described and set forth.
