THE FAMOUS A RUPP GUN
PACTORY.
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..
