"NfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE. ifiEDFORD, OREGOX. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 8. 1936. PAGE SEVEN c T Research Professor Finally Solves 30-Year Puzzle Many Costly Difficulties Overcome By Discovery COLUMBUS (UP) A almpla solu tion to the 30-year puazla of the strange, destructible behavior of re- Wiractory, or heat-reslatlng, brick MWhen made from certain typea of flinty clay found In Ohio and ad Joining states, haa been discovered by Prof. J. O. Everhart, member of the research staff at Ohio State un tverslty'a engineering experiment station. For three decades or more re search workers and manufacturer have had an almost continual head ache over the mysterious, and cost' ly, actions of the brick during Its manufacture from this clay and have pondered solutions as to why. Blast furnace operators have placed brick floor In the bottom of the Stack, later to discover the brick floating on top of the mass of molt en metal. Inclneratora have been put out of commission because brick popped out of the aides almost as rapidly as they were put to use. Vary In Size Brick made In the top of the kiln were as much as one-eighth Inch longer than those at the bottom, although they were all Intended to be the same size. , Kverhart's solution to these prob- )tms Is merely to grind the clay Into finer particles. Tills short solution to such a weighty problem is im portant to concerna In Ohio and other states which use millions of dollars worth of this kind of brick each year, as well as to the manu facturers. Elghtv percent of fire clay products have as their major constituent this flinty clay, found In the coal reckons. In his research work, Everhart found this cisj nas a normal ahrlnk- ge up to a certain temperature dur ing the firing stage of manufac turtng. After that temperature about 3,100 degrees Fahrenheit Is reached, the clay shows an abnor mal expansion. Past the 9.500 degree mark normal strinkage again occura But It la between 2.100 and 3,500 degrees that many desirable quali ties are obtained In refractory brlcK, Carbon Retained In the raw clay, Everhart observed laminations or layers sometimes as manv an 30 to an inch. When chunk of this ctsy was heated to 3.100 degrees, spaces were noticeable between the layers. The research man then made a mlcroscoplo study of By clay as It Is ground under present practices. He found the larger and . more dense grains retained the car-Kbon-saturated layers which caused ' bloating at certain high tempera tures. A serlea of parallel cracks de veloping at these layers In the grain expanded rapidly aa the temperature Increased. This phenomenon caused what the Industry called "secondary expansion." By grinding the clay more finely ao that these layers are broken and the original lamination eliminated, Everhart has made a brick which performs under fire as good brick should. He believes that through use ef his theory manufacturers will do away with "floating bricks," broken Incinerators and bricks that do not shrink uniformly. BY DE BAN 4. PARI8. Oct. B.
