Vol. X October, 1905 No. 4 ELECTRIC STEEL* By F. W. HARBORD THHE great interest which the manufacture of steel in theelectric furnace has aroused, both amongst manufacturersand engineers in this country, and the fact that there is alreadyone electric furnace in Sheffield and that it is reported thatanother Sheffield company has acquired the exclusive patentrights of the well-known Heroult process for the British Isles,make it important that we should consider the possibilities ofelectric smelting relative to steel manufacture in England. While, on the one hand, the extravagant claims urged onbehalf of electric smelting — that it will revolutionize the manu-facture of structural steels as at present made by the Bessemerand open-hearth process — may be dismissed as nonsense, theattempts, on the other hand, to prove that it canno
