Heat treating process diagram
Cupola furnace
Used to make cast iron
Basic heat treating processes for steal are
1: hardening
2: tempering
3: annealing
4: normalizing
Hematite
Contains 70% iron
Verieis to black to brick red
Limonite
:Similar to hematite
:Contains water
:Brownish
:When water is removed it resembles hematite
Taconite
:low grade
:Contains 25-30% iron
: must be specially treated
Magnetite
:Rich black
: has the highest iron content
:not found in large quantities
