BETTER CASTINGS with Mavyari PIC IRON, CERTAIN CASTING had a top section, A about 4 in. thick, which had to be machined. When an ordinary iron mix- ture was used a porous surface resulted, as shown at the left. The addition of a small percentage of Mayari to the cupola mixture eliminated this condition, and a casting was obtained with a smooth, dense surface, as shown at the right. This is a case where Mayari was used for its all-round improving effect. Cast- ings made with Mayari machine easily to a smooth, highly wear-resisting surface even on a thick section; they have a fine, close grain, and are free from blow-holes, spongy spots and other imperfections. There’s another highly important use for Mayari. It is a natural nickel- chromium alloy pig iron and offers a simple, economical method of making alloy- iron heat-resisting castings. In most cases it takes only a small percentage of Mayari to impart the de- sired properties. Engine and pump cylinders, piston rings and similar cast- ings can be made sounder and longer wearing, grate bars and other furnace parts can be made to stand the heat better, at very moderate cost, by using Mayari Pig Iron in the mixture. ee BETHLEHEM STEEL COMPANY, BETHLEHEM, PA. oe District Offices: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, York, Wilkes-Barre, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, I ndianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, St. Paul, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Houston, Dallas.
