the mills this year will need more
than 45 million tons of scrap, gets
the idea his little 20 or 25 pounds
of scrap is a poor contribution, he
is wrong. " ’
Those “poor” contributions, mul-
tiplied on a nationwide basis, be-
come millions of tons.
The steel industry uses crap to
make its supplies of raw materials
go further. For instance:
Steel is made generally from a
mixture half scrap, half pig iron.
A ton of pig. iron itself is made
from two tons of iron ore. half *
ton of limestone and more than
three quarters of a ton of coke all
piled into a blast furnace.
Next the pig iron is refined into
steel by being mixed with an equal
amount of scrap, principally in two
kinds of furnaces:
1. Open hearth w furnaces—
big, shallow, kettle-like affairs
heated by gas, oil or tar—with
some of them holding 200 tons
of metal at a time. .
2. Electric furnaces—also
kettles but usually smaller
than open hearths—in which

rials used are scrap.
High alloy steels—such as go
into airplane engine* and most of
the key parts of a gun or tank—
are madein the electric furnaces.
Just see how it works:
Suppose next Sunday night, ex-
actly at midnight, your gld lawn-
mower is part of a load of scrap
charged into an open hearth fur-
nace. By noon Monday the fur-
nace has done its work and the
steel is poured into molds to solid-
ify into ingots.
The ingot, however, is not yet a
steel plate. Plate production now
is at a rate of over 12 million tons
a year, twice as much plate as was
needed in 1929. Steel plates go into
tanks, machinery, new war plants,
naval and cargo ships.
Before the ingot becomes a plate
it must be heated white hot, flat-
tened on a rolling mill, inspected,
shorn to size, and tested for qual-
ity.
From the time the lawnmower
enters the furnace until the fin-
ished ship plate is placed on a rail-
road car en route to a ship yard
