CASTING LARGE PROPELLERS IN MONEL METAL ECAUSEs of. ste. nee sistance, to corro- sion, its strength and _the readiness with which it .may be machined, Monel metal, a compara- tively new alloy of nickel and copper has made its appear- ance asa growing factor in foundry prac-. tice for certain classes of castings. TII- been erected and put in operation by the Bayonne Casting Co., Bayonne, N. J. This plant is the' only one of its kind devoted exclusively to the melting of this alloy and its capac- ity for such work is on a large scale. There is now being carried on at this plant some _ interesting work, among which is the casting of large propeller wheels for battleships of both the United States and foreign twelve propeller wheels for two large battleships now building for the Ar- gentine Republic in the yards of the Fore River Ship Building Co., Quin- cy, Mass., and the New York Ship Building Co., Camden, N. J. These will be in one piece, about 15 feet 6 inches in diameter, and will weigh 16,000 pounds each, and together con- stitute the largest contract for Monel metal castings ever placed. The company also has on hand the cast- lustrating the broadening use of this metal, a new and modern foundry ' especially designed and applied to such casting practice has recently ing of four propeller wheels for the United States battleship. Florida, which was recently launched in the countries. Recently there was taken by this company a contract for the manufacture in Monel metal, of the 000-PouNnD Monet Mera -Propercer, IN A STeeL-Linep Pit Fic. 1--Morp For A 16,
