All iron insists upon absorbing a nearly uni- form amount of carbon, amounting to three or four per cent, but this substance, fortunately, can be removed with ease and no great expense by the Bessemer process. Sulphur, which is exceedingly injurious in iron and can never be removed unless it be done in the blast furnace, is best got rid of by having a limestone or basic slag and a very high tem- perature. Phosphorus the smelting master cannot con- trol. That which is in the ore and the coal goe...s into the iron. A small amount of it is practi- cally ruinous to iron by making it brittle, and for a long time many otherwise good ores were useless until made available by recent discov- eries. 99 THE STORY OF IRON AND STEEL It is thus evident that there are many kinds of cast iron, depending upon the amount of carbon, silicon, sulphur, and phosphorus, and the particular forms in which some of these occur. The burning of this modern furnace takes place under a forced draught or air blast of from eight to twenty pounds per square inch.
