Siderite is a mineral composed of iron(II) carbonate (FeCO 3).Its name comes from the Ancient Greek word σίδηρος (sídēros), meaning "iron".A valuable iron ore, it consists of 48% iron and lacks sulfur and phosphorus.
When the metal had cooled and hardened, the smaller ingots (the "pigs") were simply broken from the runner (the "sow"), hence the name "pig iron". [4] As pig iron is intended for remelting, the uneven size of the ingots and the inclusion of small amounts of sand are insignificant issues when compared to the ease of casting and handling.
Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications. [1] The VAR process has revolutionized the specialty traditional metallurgical techniques industry, and has made possible tightly controlled materials used in biomedical ...
Ingot molds are tapered to prevent the formation of cracks due to uneven cooling. A crack or void formation occurs as the liquid to solid transition has an associated volume change for a constant mass of material. The formation of these ingot defects may render the cast ingot useless and may need to be re-melted, recycled, or discarded.
The name "sycee" is an irregular romanization of the Cantonese pronunciation of the characters for "fine silk". [2] [3] This is variously explained as deriving from the ability to draw pure gold or silver out into fine threads [1] or from the silky sheen of quality silver.
Witherite is a barium carbonate mineral, Ba C O 3, in the aragonite group. [2] Witherite crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and virtually always is twinned. [2] The mineral is colorless, milky-white, grey, pale-yellow, green, to pale-brown.
Zinc smelting is the process of converting zinc concentrates (ores that contain zinc) into pure zinc. Zinc smelting has historically been more difficult than the smelting of other metals, e.g. iron, because in contrast, zinc has a low boiling point.
