we used robe river australian ore courtesy of Corus,
and have produced aa bloom, its being sectioned today/
tomorrow. pictures of the furnace already on the web,
some of the ones taken during smelting should appear
soon, along with metallography. no analyses until we
move into our new premises over the next month.
cheers
gerry
ps the daily telegraph, seemed to imply we were
building a blast furnace!
