IMPORTANT NEW DISCOVERY.
(FROM THE PARIS CORRESPONDENT
OF MORNING POST.").
The steel industry has been revolu- tionised by a discovery that has been made in France, if the claims of the inventory stand the final testa, to which they are being subjected. The invention consists in this: that hard steels, nickel, chromium, manganese, and the reat, can be manufactured at roughly the same cost as ordinary Bessemer steel, with the sole added expense of the alloys involved.
I was present to the northern suburbs of Paris at five expert ments, each of which involved the production of a ton and a half of high-class steel. Even to the expert ere there was nothing visible to mal Bessemer method. There is the distinguish the process from the nor
ordinary furnace packed with coke and Iron. The metal is fused at a relatively low temperature, and then passed to the high temperature furnaces, where, with an outburst of flame, the temperature is raised to (some 1,500 degrees Centigrade, and Impurities are barnt out. By the Bessemer process it is only possible to eliminate impurities to a relatively small percentage, these impurities consisting chiefly of phosphorus) and sulphur,
The result
is that Bessemer steel is suitable only

employed, as the raw material for the
.
high grade steels necessary for many phases of industry.
The essential feature of the ex- periments that I have witnessed 13 that by the addition of certain secret substances, and by mears of certain undivulged proces- ses that escape detection, the ordinary Bessemer system can be applied to produce a steel so pare as to com pare with that derived electrically. and thus sufficiently pure to be used as the basis of a whole series of high-grade steels. Two results of capital importance to France and to the metallurgical industry follow :--
1. France will from-to-day be in a position to produce high-grade steel. at the same cost, or roughly the same cost, as that of ordinary steel, plus the expense of the alloys, while special steels that contain no alloys can be produced at the same price as ordinary steels.
2. High-grade steel, which hitherto could not be employed for such ordinary uses as railway lines, &c., now becomes available for the ordi- nary purposes of commerce.
TWO BELGIAN INVENTORS. These are the claims advanced by the four inventers of the new process, They have been working on a re- latively large scale for over six months, and have satisfied them- selves that the high-grade steals they produce answer to every test, whe- ther the test of chemical analysis or of physical properties, such as bardness. tensile stress, malleability, or other wise. I am allowed to mention the names of two of the four inventors. They are M. Jules Lambrecht, of Herstal, Belgium, who was born in 1881, and has been continually : in- ! terested in. metallurgical work, and during the war was ́in charge of the construction of several factories in France; and M. Marc Antoine, also a Belgian, who is an engineer well known as having studied the working of mines and railways in Spain, both before and during the war. Of the other two experts, whose names I am not at liberty to mention, one is in control of an important metal lurgical undertaking.
At the experiments I witnessed there were also present about ^a dezen metallurgical experts. To quote their names would be interest. ing. but the demonstration was private, and all that the experts did was to take samples, of the original raw materials, of the material in the course of transformation; and of the finished product. Naturally, they are reserving their opinions- until. they have themselves analysed their samples, but the fact that they remained at the works for more than four hours studying the proce«. dure, taken in conjunction with what certain of them said to me privately, can be regarded 29 evidence as to the Important nature of the invention. The speculation is forced on one that the inventors--all engineers and all unconnected with Government enterprise-bave hit on a discovery of the same nature as that made by Robert Hadfield” and | reserved for Government use in Eng Hand, despite the demand on the part
of private enterprise
The importance of the discovery, if confirmed, to engineers and to the } public is so great thấty at the risk of being wearisome, it is desirable to emphasise certain facts in connec tion with it
(1) Ordinary Bessemer steel,- be-- cause of the impurities. contained in the metal, wears badly end irregu- larly. Hard steels have an infinitely longer life, can be made to bear the same strains with very much less content of material, and thus, in view of the increased cost of produc tion, the material for rails, girders, motor cars, &r, &c., can be supplied to do the ordinary work at a greatly. reduced cost, l
