Fleming. This, unlike 390 SULPHUR IN 6J4 ^,9 610 61 I 612 6)3 series YII. and IX., had no .silicon added to keep the .silicon uni-form, and therefore by the addition of iron sulphide both siliconand carbon were diluted. The tests gave the following record :Fig. 3 shows the grain of this series. Series X. TestNo. Mixture. Strength. Dead-lddefleetn. Shrinkage. Chill. Deadload. Impact.

The decrease of silicon and carbon along with the increase ofsulphur introduces a complication ; and to find out which producedthe change in strength, shrinkage, chill, etc., we made in the sameway a series for comparison with thi,s, introducing into the meltedmetal enough wire to reduce the silicon and carbon, the same as in SULPHUR IN CAST-IRON. 391 Fig. mm \P. liii
