Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content (less than 0.05%) in contrast to that of cast iron (2.1% to 4.5%). It is a semi-fused mass of iron with fibrous slag inclusions (up to 2% by weight), which give it a wood-like "grain" that is visible when it is etched, rusted, or bent to failure.
The Loftus Iron Company was established c. 1873/74 at Skinningrove on the north east coast of England between Redcar and Whitby. Initially two blast furnaces were built, approximately 1 mile from ironstone workings. [1] [2] In 1877, the business was liquidated, and was acquired by the Skinningrove Iron Company in 1880. [3]
Pig iron, also known as crude iron, is an intermediate good used by the iron industry in the production of steel. It is developed by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace . Pig iron has a high carbon content, typically 3.8–4.7%, [ 1 ] along with silica and other dross , which makes it brittle and not useful directly as a material except for ...
Gray iron, or grey cast iron, is a type of cast iron that has a graphitic microstructure. It is named after the gray color of the fracture it forms, which is due to the presence of graphite. [ 1 ] It is the most common cast iron and the most widely used cast material based on weight.
The normal yield strength grades available are 195, 235, 275, 355, 420, and 460, although some grades are more commonly used than others e.g. in the UK, almost all structural steel is grades S275 and S355.
The company also provided samples of ore, coal, pig iron and wrought iron, a smaller gun, a sugar cane mill, an olive mill and an elliptograph. [33] The Low Moor company bought the Bierley Ironworks in 1854. [34] By 1855 Low Moor was producing 21,840 tons of iron per year, and was the largest ironworks in Yorkshire.
