CANNOT UNDERSTAND STEEL Scientists Puzzled Over What They Assert to Be a Most Unusual Freak of Nature. If it wore not for one tiny, erratic break in nature's orderly progression, we should never have had the machinery that lias brought about modern civilization. For we should not have had steel, it is true we should have had iron, but pure iron is almost useless It is only when a small quantity of carbon is added to it that it be comes hard enough to take a cutting edge. Then It is called steel. Why steel hardens is an unsolved ' problem The Scientific American reproduces some extracts from an ad dress before the British Institute of j Mechanical Engineers, delivered by j Professor Arnold, who had for many j years been investigating the chemical and mechanical relations between iron, carbon and other metals, and Sir Hubert Hndficld's experiments that called attention to this "break" in the order of nature which alone makes steel possible Nickel and cobalt are so closely related to iron in their properties and in their position in tho periodic classification - ntnr.ilp ubxs ?? * 0|'CtiUV gravity, fusing joint and valence being almost the same that it might be expected they would behave identically when united with carbon. Not so. however. Sir Robert lladtield found that when1 the "stool" made of nickel and cobalt was heated or hammered the carbon came out of the composition ami was precipitated as graphite. If iron behaved this way tool steel would turn to cast iron as soon as heated; and it is on the fact that it does not?"a seemingly quite erratic departure on nature's part from her orderly plan"?that modern manufacture is founded.
