✦ Synopsis

Manganese, chromium, and cobalt 97 to 99 per cent. pure, and carbon-free alloys of these and other elements, such as vanadium and titanium, are now readily procurable. In many metallurgical operations there is need of employing carbon-free metals and alloy~ in order to control fully the physical properties of the final metal, which may be a special steel or bronze, for instance. A large number of these have been developed by the Goldschmidt Thermit Com-• pany of New York City, employing in their production the wellknown aluminum-oxidation reaction by which a high temperature is produced in carbon-free surroundings.
