One of the marvels of m ›deru metallurgy is the lofluence upon stod of vanadium in so small a proportion as thres to five parts per thousand. The resistance of the steal to frac
tare is'doubled, ita hagdness is increased to an extraedinary degens; and it is given the peculiar and useful property of acquiring its maximum hardness by ounealing at 700 deg. to 800 deg. 0. instead of by tempering. When a working tool of Tonatium steal becomes hostel, its cutting power arenses instead of being lost. A sag- gusted explanation of the affect of the vanadium is its extrems uvidity for oxygen, which causes, it to reduce avery trace of the iron oxide that. greatly lessens the strength of even the best prepared steels..........
