Thenon-carbon alloy is more is used for special steels, and isunsuited for use with iron. The rea-son for the unsuitability with iron isprobably because of a higher melt- ing point of the non-carbon mode of adding titanium alloyto the molten steel differs somewhatwith the mode of manufacture of thesteel itself. In general, the titaniumis the last thing added. It is not thepurpose that it should perform thewhole duty of deoxidizing. This is TITANIUM STEEL 491 more economically done with man-ganese and silicon alloys. The titan-ium performs the finishing work,eliminating impurities left behind bythe other purifiers. If the steel isbeing made by the acid open-hearthprocess and the manganese and sili-con are introduced while the moltenmetal is still in the furnace, the titan- ium allo
