) i nounced recently by the Cana years that whenever a rail has falled dian or. split due to what is known to em gineers as a transverse fissure, or crack in the steel, microscopic exam- ination of the faulty plece showed a number of small cracks in the centre of the mass of metal. Engineers gradually became convinced that these cracks were the cause of split rails, but were unable to find a way of preventing them. It was observed that the same type of cracks, called "shat- ter cracks" by metallurgists, could be found in new rails that had never been | 242¥. World in service, so it was concluded that they were produced during the pre- paration of the steel. It remained for I. C. Mackie, well| known Canadian metallurgist and Fel- low of the Canadian Institute of Chem- istry, working in the Sydney labora- tories of the Dominion Steel and Coal "Corporation, to discover the remedy.

Usually, when | Ont. the steel, rei-hot, leaves the rolls in the rolling mill, it is cooled down fair-| 3 ly quickly, especially after it has reached what metal workers call the "black heat" stage--that is, when all redness has disappeared but the steel still has a temperature of 500 or 600 degrees. Mr. Mackie discovered that it is at this stage that the minute cracks, which later result in failure of the tracks, develop, and he worked out a special way of treating the steel to avoid this trouble. The new process consists in cooling | the steel down very slowly, so slowly indeed that it takes over 24 hours for a rail to cool by this method as against three or four by the usual procedure. Mr. Mackie and his colleagues have found that this treatment is a 100 per cent, cure for the troublesome "shat- ter cracks." A great advantage of the method is that it has no effect on the hardness of the steel. Of course, as pointed out by Mn Mackie, rails made by this process have not yet been in service long enough to prove by practical test that "they will not fail, but as all engineers are agreed that the failure is due to these minute cracks, and as the new VET remnants, $1.00, Co., Chatham, Ontario, OPPORTUNITIES.
