Analyses and Evaluation of the Raw Materials Used in the Eaton (hopewell) Furnace
نویسنده
چکیده
Analyses of samples of the raw materials locally available for use in the Eaton (Hopewell) Furnace indicate that the iron ore and bituminous coal were of good smelting quality while the limestone (flux) was not. The limestone had a much higher then desirable silica content and a low calcium content. The limestone was insufficient to the task of removing impurities introduced through the fuel combination of charcoal and raw coal and contributed to the early demise of the furnace operation only 6 years after its start.

Preliminary Archaeological Examination of Ohio's First Blast Furnace: the Eaton (hopewell)
The Eaton (Hopewell) Furnace located near Struthers, Ohio was built in 1802-1803. The first blast furnace west of the Alleghenies and the first industry of any kind in the Western Reserve, it went out of blast circa 1808 due to a combination of factors and fell into ruin. Historical sources on the Eaton are scarce and informational sources are vague, but archaeological excavations carried out i...

متن کاملRecycling Evaluation of Mill Scale in Electric Arc Furnace
A considerable amount of mill scale is generated from steelmaking plants annually. Although some industries use it as raw material however, since it contains iron in the form of FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, it can be considered as a valuable metallurgical raw material for iron and steelmaking industry as well. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility, efficiency, and consequences o...

Using wastes as starting raw materials is a common method to reduce the production costs and the environmental pollution problems arising from such wastes. In this study the production and crystallization behavior of an iron rich glass prepared by iron and steel making wastes has been investigated. The raw materials used, were the blast furnace slag, the blast furnace dust, converter slag and s...
متن کاملEFFECT OF FABRICATION PARAMETERS ON SYNTHESIS OF Ti2AlC AND Ti3AlC2MAX PHASES BY MASHS
Mechanically Activated Self-propagating High temperature Synthesis (MASHS) is the method which is used to promote self-propagating synthesis by increasing activity of reactants and increase the purity of products. In this study Ti 2 AlC and Ti3AlC2 max phases were synthesized by using mechanically activated self-propagating high temperature synthesis (MASHS) and samples reactivity and phase str...
