English: This description is a quote from https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/63514409
"This engraving represents the furnace in which the first process for the convertion of cast into wrought iron takes place, and is technically termed puddling, the molten metal being stirred about , or puddled, by which means the particles are brought into contact with the air, this being the agent by which the requisite chemical changes are brought about. The fusion of the cast iron is effected by the flame passing over it, the fuel being thrown into a separate chamber. The stirring or puddling is accompanied by a frizzling sound, and after a certain time the iron arrives at a pasty condition, and is said to have " come to nature. " It is then rolled into balls, one of which is represented in the engraving as being lifted out of the furnace. The puddled balls are successively taken to the tilt hammer, by which the cinder or impurity is squeezed out, and hammered to a convenient shape for passing through the rolls, which draw them out into long flat bars called puddled bars" |
