The Triumphs of Art--Casting . and Forging Reduced to a System--Tho Mammoth Hammer- Annealing and Banding- -What the Playthings Cost. From t ev Yto York IrakE Af the artillery duols which were recently occurring around Plovna, in Shipka Pass, and elsewhore in Bul garia and Armenia wore simply be twoon Krupp guns served by Rus sians pitted against Krupp guns served by Turks, or OboukhofCguns of the Krnpp system against genu, ino Krupps and Arinstrongs, a dos cription of the great works at Essen,. in Rhenish Prussia, which have pro duced the greator part of the heavy armanent of both contending Pow ers, will be found especially interest ing. Herr Krupp ha.3 for years fur nished, and is still furnishing, with great impartiality, stool rifled can non to the Russian and Turkish, as well as to other foreign govern monts. THE GUN MANUFACTURE. Krupp guns are made of solid low cast steel, manufactured in crucibles. Tho pig iron used at the works is manufactured from ores notably fi-eo from sulphur and phosphorus, and rich in iimnganoso. It is manufac tured at the firm's various blast fur nacos from oro taken from mines owned by the firm, so that the manufacture, not of guns alone, but of the crude materials used, is under the samo control, in itself' a very great advantage. All the metal to be used in the crucibles undergoes a preparitory puddling. One quali.. ky of pig iron is puddled to steel, afterward being placed under the haimmer and then passed through the rolls. When taken from the last rolling it is. cut up into rectang ular bars, which are broken into pieces of a size- suitable for insertion in the crucibles. Another sort of pig is puddled still longer until wrought iron is produced. This, liko the crude stoel, is rolled, barred and cut into lengths suitable for transferral to the crucibles. The mixture placed in the plinbago clay crucibles consists of the steel and wrought iron in certain proportions which long practice has. shown to be most advantageous and of several other ingredients not known to the outside world.. In the buildings of the casting department there are a sufficient numbor of furnaces to accommodate the large number of 1,600 crucibles, having an average capacity of seventy pounds. of metal each. The proportions of each ingre dient for each crucible are regula ted with great accuracy, and con utant analysos are made to see that the ingredients in all of the cruci blos to be used for tihe casting of a gun are of tile samo quality, so that the grado of steel poured into the casting pit from the numerous cruci.. blos shall all be the same. THE cAsTING. After the manufacture of the steel in the.crucibles they, with their molten contents, are carried to the casting pit. The cruicibles are emptied as they arrive into an im monse vessel placod over the mould and tapped from the bottom. Thus a continuous stream of molten steel is k< pt up until the cast 'iron gun mould ia full. With such cnre and rogularity does the work go on that the casting of the ingot for the tube of a 56O ton 14 inch gun is an affair of but comparatively few minutes. In about twelve hours the core is taken out and a stream of water let in to cool the cast steel ingot. This treatment is continued for several days until the mass is somewhat cooled. The ingot is then hoisted by a steam crane from the pit, and taken to the part of the building set apart for that purpose, whome it lays for months with sister ingots, being kept covered with hot ashes from the furnaces, which are constantly renewed.. Thme metal, from this treatment,. undergoes a process of annealing, which softens, .toughens and tempers it. This process, it is claimed, takes the place of and an swe better than the tempering by oil practisedl in England and Russia. After this the steel ingot is transported on a ear to the smithery, arnd run, car and all,, into the heating furnnacos, preparatory to the forging. The heating takes several days, the teinperature being kept constant and moderate. On being brought to the required1 torm. perature the car and its load. are drawn out and on to the hammer. The heating of such large- masses. of steel uniformly throughout with. out burning the-outside is an opora. tion of great. delicacy;. and which. i% very successfully performed at the Krupp works.. On arriving' at the hammer the crane chains are placed around the ingot and it is hoisted to the anvil, underneath the- ham mor. For the im-monse fifty toa hammer, which is the largest in use at the works, the anvil or casting which receives the transmitted blow weighs 300,000 pounds,. and rests upon a foundation which is built up. from an . excavation one hundred feet in depth. After being wrought under the great steam hammers to give the metal the texture required, and the gun ingot the necessary form, tho tube ingot is taken to the boring and turning establishments, where the exterior is turned smooth to receive- the first layer of hoops, the breech block cut and the in torior chainel bored out. In tho operation of burning the ingot loses half its weight in the lathe. THES IfOoPINot The tube is now ready to receive the first layor of hoops For thoso, large stool ingots are cast and forged into flat lengths. These are cut into pieces of the size required. for the rings and are forged into a. peculiar shape. They have- holes near either end, which are joined by a slot being cut into the ingot. Wedges are driven into the slot aud it is gradually widened out and worked under a hammer into a ring like shape. This has at this stago of the operation about half the diameter and twice the thickness of the finished hoop. It is then heated. and put over the rolls of a machine. similar to those used in the manu, facture of'wheol tires. In revolving the rolls approach each other gradually, rolling, the hoop to its desired size. By this operation it will be seen that an endless fibre is being developed in the diTection of the hoop circumference. A. jet of water is constantly playing over the steel mass while it is, being developed on the rolls, thus, pro venting any distortion. . It is stated that in this way hoops of any re. quired diameter can be produced,. but not of a width exceeding six inches. These hoops so manufac tured have, like the large tube in gots, no, seams or welds, and are very uniform in texture. Every thing being ready for the hooping the main tube is placed, muzzle. end up, in a vertical poaition, and. the hoops slipped on to their places. The hoops are previously heated in boiling lead, and, when. the expan sion is judged sufficient, are takont out of the bath, wiped clean, slung: to above the muzzle. in a line with their intended position and let go.,. They fall heavily along down the: tube until they reach their position;. Hero they cool slowly, and con.. tracting form a perfect contact with, the tube. The hoop mannfacture and subsequent adjustment are very delicate operations. The calcula-. tions involved are very nice, as the' diameter of the hoops as first mann-' factu.red,,have to be so calculated that after the expansion in the bath and subsequent cooling they will, on. contracting, have a diame ter which will cause them to exert a certain pressure,. to be the same in all of the same layer, upon the main tube,. and upon each other when super. imposed. Upon the successful per-.. formance of the hooping depende, to a great degree, the gun's strength, arid durability. The first layer of: hoops haring been placed in posie-. tion the gun is agna taken to. the' turning establishmnent, and the,.sur. face of the first layer which is to receive the second is turned down *to the required diameter. The second and third layer being int place the end hoop on the guni again goes to the turning establish-. mnent. The hoops are kept frorn; working by key ringsi, these beings small hall hoops, with rectangular: sections let into scores out to re ceive them in the tube and first. layer and in the ?rst and second. layer. The breech of the gun is. then shaped, 'the bore carefully rifled with the required number of g rooves and the eccentric chamber formed, Tme closing mechanism at; the breech is adjusted and the gun is finished..
