Abstract
A typology of lead-bale slags based on their physico-chemical properties
Richard Smith
115 - 128
A typology of lead bale smelting slags for descriptive purposes and for recognition in the field is proposed. Extensive SEM/EDX studies of bale slags from Yorkshire, and from Cumbria and Derbyshire, are used to illustrate the typology. The melting points of twenty-three slags were determined and experiments with synthetic slags conducted. This has led to an understanding of some of the mechanisms involved in slag formation, and of the temperatures which were developed in typical bales. This in turn has led to an explanation of different types of bale which have been encountered by the author and others.

Study aimed at determining whether there was a scientific explanation for Sheffield cementation steelmakers' preference for iron from a small number of finery forges in Sweden when making their best quality steel. The abundance and composition of slag inclusions from ten samples of premium and common grades of Swedish wrought iron and ten samples of blister steel made from both grades of iron were compared. The samples were analysed using optical and electron microscopy, SEM-EDS, quantitative metallography and, where possible, bulk chemical analysis. Analysis found that premium brands of wrought iron had a lower volume of slag inclusions and a higher proportion of wüstite within the inclusions. These characteristics meant that the premium brands of wrought iron would give a `cleaner' blister steel. The results suggest that Sheffield cementation steelmakers had a valid reason for paying more for premium brands.
