Small round water jacket furnace for silver-lead ore, 1897. A water jacket furnace can be used to reduce non-ferrous oxide ores mixed with coke, to produce metal and slag. When smelting lead, the feedstock is lead oxide, coke and fluxes. When smelting lead sulphide ores, the ore is first sintered to form a lead oxide sinter. Lead and silver ...

Refractory metals, and alloys made from them, are used in lighting, tools, lubricants, nuclear reaction control rods, as catalysts, and for their chemical or electrical properties. Because of their high melting point, refractory metal components are never fabricated by casting. The process of powder metallurgy is used.
The first Elf on the Shelf was sold in 2005, but its story begins decades earlier with a mother named Carol Aebersold. In 1974, she introduced her three children to a toy elf named Fisbee, a gift ...
Steel is made from iron and carbon. Cast iron is a hard, brittle material that is difficult to work, whereas steel is malleable, relatively easily formed and versatile. On its own, iron is not strong, but a low concentration of carbon – less than 1 percent, depending on the kind of steel – gives steel strength and other important properties.
As someone with combination skin, finding the right primer is essential to keeping my makeup looking flawless all day. Over the years, I’ve found gel formulas to be the way to go, which is why the
