much better than the properties of pure metals.
3. Alloy cast irons are coming into extensive use although they are more expensive than
iron.
4. Non-ferrous metals are generally more expensive per pound than the ferrous metals, and are used only when some characteristic not

furnace.
10.High grade tool steels and some alloy steels are still made by the crucible process, although the electric furnace is now capable of
