THERMIT WELDING. When the United States trans- port Northern Pacific ran aground last January off Fire Island the ship was dry-docked in Brooklyn Navy Yard, and it was then found that the entire section of the stern frame in which the rudder was
cracked through just above the upper rudder lug, a position where the frame was hollow but thick- walled, measuring almost 2ft. in diameter and weighing 2611⁄2 tons. In handling, this injury a mechanical repair was considered out of the question. There re- mained only the alternative of making a thermit weld or of purchasing a new casting and installing it at a cost probably exceeding £10,000. Thermit, it may be explained, is a mixture of aluminium and iron oxide. It may, be ignited by means of a special powder, and on reaction it produces superheated liquid steel and slag of aluminium ovide at a temperature of approximately
