FIRE BRICK DEPARTMENT GOOD material is the factor of supreme importance in all manufacturing busi- ness. During the growth and expansion of the fire brick business from small beginnings to the present output corresponding to the growth and demands of the iron and steel in- dustries it has been the aim of this company to maintain the lead in supplying all demands for high grade fire brick and refractory mate- rial. To this end, all clay deposits, seemingly worthy of investigation, have been core drilled, the best experts employed and record maps placed on file, enabling the Company to open mines in the irregular formations of fire clay with exact knowledge of what will be opened. This work has been going on systematically for over thirty years. The results, with the association of a few of the most experienced and successful brick manufacturers, enable us to offer the following unrivaled list of well known brands of fire brick. Some of the brands are specially fitted for special work, as the " Benezet " for blast furnace linings. Some are similar in character to others, but owing to location of works one brand may obtain a more f a vorable freight rate in a given case. Corre- spondence or an interview will determine, ac- cording to circumstances, which is the most suitable brand to use. With a wide range of records on hand, the broadest experience in 1 74482 HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA. the business, and the good will of over seven thousand patrons to maintain, it is reasonable for customers to assume that they will get re- liable advice and careful attention to orders, however large or small. The brands included carry the world's record for output of metal per furnace lining, blast furnace stove brick that neither disinte- grate nor become vitrified with the severe changes of temperature and blast that occur in furnace stoves incident to conditions connected therewith, the best of brick for cupolas, rotary cement kilns, lime kilns, open hearth steel furnaces, copper smelting, boiler settings, con- tinuous glass furnaces and general purposes where high temperatures are in use. The brick intended for different parts of a blast furnace lining are branded " Hearth and Bosh," "Inwall" and "Top" to prevent the mason from making mistakes. The records held by these brands are the result of careful observation over a long period, and selection from the best Pennsylvania clays. Our Gan- ister rock used in making 4< Star " Silica brick is selected from decidedly the finest deposits of this rock to be found anywhere. "Star" Silica holds the best continuous records in open hearth steel, Talbot and continuous glass furnaces. HARBISON- WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA.

MAGNESIA AND CHROME DEPARTMENT IN this department we manufacture one brand of chrome brick specially adapted for use where chemical action destroys other brick, and two brands of magnesia brick for use in basic open hearth steel furnaces or other places where basic material is required. HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA. ORES USED IN MAGNESIA AND CHROMEBRICK MAGNESIA OR CALCINED MAGNESITE OUR supplies of calcined magnesite are drawn from the best quarries known. These quarries have supplied the bulk of the calcined magnesite used in the steel trade, and the product is decidedly more uniform and satisfactory than that from any other source of supply. For forming bottoms in open hearth steel furnaces we furnish a special calcined magne- site running low in silica. CHROME ORE Oxide of chromium, or, commercially, chrome ore, is the least responsive to chemical action of all refractory material obtainable at a price permitting of use in the arts. For this reason it is invaluable where chemical action prevents the use of ordinary material. The ore is used by many for special purposes. After experimenting with practically all of the known deposits of chrome ore in this country and abroad, we have adopted exclusively for our use and for the wants of our trade, two qualities which we consider superior to any- thing on the market. These are as follows : First "Special" low silica ore, which we recommend for practically everything in con- nection with basic open hearth steel practice. Second Fifty per cent, ore, which we rec- ommend for chemical manufacturers and other special work. Consumers will be supplied with the above ores, either ground or in lump form, on short notice. HARBISON- WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA. MAGNESIA BRICK THE material used in magnesia brick is watched carefully, the analysis being kept at a point that insures the highest stan- dard as to refractoriness, and the ingredients are combined so that the brick excel in physi- cal properties. "Magnesia" are made from carefully se- lected calcined magnesite, of a quality that has been found most satisfactory and uniformly reliable for all work connected with steel man- ufacturing. [0 HARBISON- WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA. CHROME BRICK CHROME BRICK are used as a neutral V_^ course to separate the fire clay brick used in lower courses of open hearth steel furnace hearths from the magnesite brick used for the inner and upper courses. Also for paving floors of gas ports as far from hearth as slag is liable to splash onto silica brick, and for quick repairs while furnace is at working heat, being specially suited for the latter purpose, as they are not affected by sudden changes of temperature. A few courses of chrome brick will be found useful in lower portions of soak- ing pits, or wherever slag or cinder is apt to cut out ordinary fire brick. In copper furnaces chrome brick are used with marked success for lining the bosh of the furnace from the tuyere line down, also for lining the settlers. In both cases the scouring and chemical action that occurs with the slag and matte acting on clay brick does not occur with chrome brick. In the side walls of matte and refining re- verberatory copper furnaces, chrome brick will last from four to six times as long as clay or silica brick. n HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA.

BLAST FURNACE LININGS DLAST furnace linings have been furnished for many small furnaces running on high fuel consumption and high top heats where magnetite and foreign haematite ores are used, Cornwall ores and zinc residium ores; also furnaces using fuel high in sulphur, and others using by-product coke, all with good results. We have been making blast furnace linings for the last thirty-five years, and have made more than 90 per cent, of all the linings used in the United States. Our linings have been used under every imaginable condition, under hundreds of different managers, in all types of furnaces, and with all classes of ore and fuel. The uniformly good results prove that reliable brick were furnished. The results from a blast furnace lining are too important to depend on a hit or a miss lining. The importance of calling workmen's atten- tion constantly, while placing the lining, to the fact that the brick are made for a certain part of the furnace, has led to our branding on the brick, plainly, that part of the furnace for which the brick are made, viz., " HEARTH AND BOSH," "!NWALL," "Top." In order to get uniformly satisfactory results about a furnace, it is of great importance that the brick used for lining downcomers and flues be able to resist the cutting action of strong blasts charged with ore dust and the cutting HARBISON? WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA. BLAST FURNACE LININGS-CONTINUED particles of coke that usually come from a blast furnace. " BKXK/KT PIPK " and " WOODLAND PIPK" brick are made specially for this pur- pose and give good results. The present blast furnace practice closed top furnaces, high-pressure hot blasts, etc., makes it more essential than ever before that the lining be the best obtainable. At an early period, and continuously to the present time, this branch of our business has received special attention, resulting in tonnage of metal per lining not thought of as possible previous to the records we have recently obtained. The cut on page 50 shows the method of building or breaking joints with p-inch and 1 3 YI. -inch brick in the construction of furnace lining wall. BOTTOM BLOCKS HTHE cuts on page 51 show our present method of constructing bottoms and the method of breaking joints. The blocks arc- all alike; having parallel sides and being made under heavy pressure, they are close in bond and true to shape. This enables the mason to make a closer bottom with less trouble than could be done with the blocks formerly made on radial lines. 48 HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA.

BLAST FURNACE STOVE BRICK D LAST furnace stove brick are only second *-* in importance to the furnace lining, for the reason that it is not as costly to cut a stove out for repairs as to shut down a furnace for a new lining; but, owing to the heavy burden carried and the disintegrating tendency of hot gases constantly varying in temperature, the difficulties to contend with in making a good stove brick are equal, though different, to those met with in making a good lining. The essential qualities in blast furnace stove brick are, capacity to absorb heat readily from the combustion of waste furnace gases, readi- ness to give off this heat rapidly to the air that is blown into the furnace, and strength of bond between the particles of fire clay to resist the disintegrating action of the hot gases. In addition to strength of bond necessary to resist action of hot gases, it is essential that the iron which is in all fire clay should be converted into a silicate of iron, which is a fixed form that is not acted upon by furnace gases. Tin's can only be done by making the brick of high grade fire clay that will stand a temperature of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit or upwards in burning the fire brick without vitrifying the clay in same. In service, although stove brick are not sub- jected to the intense heat applied to a blast furnace bosh, the weight carried and long con- tinued heat are apt to cause a gradual fusing and solidifying of the brick, unless high grade clay with a liberal margin of refractoriness is .YJ HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA. used in making the brick. If brick are made of sufficiently refractory clay but not well bonded, or made by any modification of the dry process, and not burned by the high temperature above referred to, in order to con- vert the iron into a silicate, they are apt to dis- integrate within a few months after starting the furnace. At the temperatures produced by the combustion of furnace gases in stoves, low grade brick are apt to squeeze and let down the lining, also to become vitrified. Glazed or vitrified substances will neither absorb nor give off heat as rapidly as porous or rough material. Through lack of attention to the above re- quirements, we have been called upon several times to replace stove linings in less than one year from date of construction. Records and non- vitrified bats from old stove linings show that our stove lining brick are perfectly adapted to the service required. In connection with illustration of typical stoves in use, a cut of the special shape used in each of several types is shown; these, and all similar shapes for stoves, are made from good clay, burned at a high temperature to insure all iron in the clay being converted into the silicate form in order to enable the brick to resist the oxidizing or disintegrating action of the hot gases.

COKE OVEN BRICK C( >KE oven construction has changed radi- cally in recent years. Where formerly any cheap clay brick were deemed good enough for the purpose, of late the tendency has been to use the highest grade brick. The excellent results recently obtained from the use of silica brick in the severe service of by-product ovens, and from the old beehive ovens in the Connellsville region and other places, have clearly demonstrated that the silica brick is the most economical that can be used in this work, due entirely to the in- creased length of service obtained by their use. Our kk H-W Crown " brick are made for the crowns of beehive ovens, and in addition to their extreme refractory qualities are especially adapted to hold the crown rigid and true to shape through varying temperatures, making in all a more thorough construction physically than can be obtained by the use of clay brick. The "XX Sand" brand has been found specially suitable for lasting service as liner brick. - The fronts and floor tile are made of fire clay. Trunnel heads are made of either silica or fire clay, as may be desired. 64 HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES Co., PITTSBURGH, PA.

OUR PLAN OF SHAPES FOR SIEMENS CRUCIBLE STEEL MELTING FURNACE page 71 will be found a system of shapes for above furnace designed by ourselves. The plan differs from any hereto- fore used in having the side walls, or walls over the ports, built with horizontal joints, thus doing away with the arched side walls. The advantages arc, that having all joints or courses of brick horizontal, the side walls arc not inclined to pitch into the furnace, as with the old style of shapes; all the shapes extend back to the breast wall, thus making a tight joint the full height of the furnace and preventing the gas from working up between the breast wall and the furnace wall. All of the walls having a straight, solid bearing, the settling will be uniform throughout the fur- nace, thus avoiding the opening or shattering of the walls by unequal settling. The shapes being of simple pattern, a mason can build a furnace with these shapes in less time than is required with others.

Mois- ture, especially in cold weather, will greatly injure any brick. Good brick work depends much on the following points : Use of good fire clay (equal in refractoriness to the brick itself) applied very thin, preferably dipped and rubbed close. Slow warming up to expel moisture. Attention to fact that fire clay brick contract slightly and silica brick expand trader high temper- atures. Lighter burned fire clay brick in roofs will usually give better service than hard burned brick. The refractoriness of silica brick is greatly decreased by sudden heating up. From 250 to 350 pounds of fire clay or silica cement is enough to lay up one thousand brick. Fine ground fire clay should be used for laying up fire clay brick and silica cement for silica brick. In first class brick work, less than three hundred and fifty pounds of fire clay per thousand brick should be used. For approximate estimating on fire brick work, use the following figures : 1 square foot 4^ -inch wall requires 7 brick 1 square foot 9-inch wall requires 14 brick 1 square foot 13^ -inch wall requires 21 brick 1 cubic foot brick work requires 17 nine-inch straight brick 1 cubic foot fire clay brick work weighs 150 pounds 1 cubic foot silica brick work weighs 180 pounds 1000 brick (closely stacked) occupies 56 cubic feet 1000 brick (loosely stacked) occupies 72 cubic feet Magnesite and chrome brick, although highly refrac- tory, are only suitable for use in places where they have to withstand the action of hot basic slags, fumes, etc. Fire clay or silica brick are recommended for other places.
