Forge

The experimental investigations are carried out in order to get an idea about the variations of the visibility of the indications during practical inspections. The specimen where a test piece with spare eroded artificial defects (Width 25 pm depth d = 30, 60, 120 pm) and other specimen with natural cracks, a forged steering lever and a weld. As an example, in Fig 4 the steering lever with 2 cracks can be seen and below the dependance on the visibilty of a weak indication and a part of the bright indications on the field strenght H.

After aluminium, iron is the most abundant metal and the fourth most abundant of all the elements it occurs chiefly as oxides (for example haematite (FCjO,), magnetite (lodestonej (FC3O4) and as iron pyrites FeSj- Free iron is found in meteorites, and it is probable that primitive man used this source of iron for tools and weapons. The extraction of iron began several thousand years ago, and it is still the most important metal in everyday life because of its abundance and cheapness, and its ability to be cast, drawn and forged for a variety of uses. 

Pig-iron or cast iron contains impurities, chiefly carbon (up to 5 ). free or combined as iron carbides. These impurities, some of which form interstitial compounds (p. I I3i with the iron, make it hard and brittle, and it melts fairly sharply at temperatures between 1400 and 1500 K pure iron becomes soft before it melts (at 1812 K). Hence cast iron cannot be forged or welded. 

As early as 2500 bce m India indigo was used to dye cloth a deep blue The early Phoenicians discovered that a purple dye of great value Tyrian purple could be extracted from a Mediterranean sea snail The beauty of the color and its scarcity made purple the color of royalty The availability of dyestuffs underwent an abrupt change m 1856 when William Henry Perkin an 18 year old student accidentally discovered a simple way to prepare a deep purple dye which he called mauveme from extracts of coal tar This led to a search for other synthetic dyes and forged a permanent link between industry and chemical research...
