On the Alloys of Steel. By Stodart and Farady[3].
[Read March 21 1822]
The alloys of steel made on a small scale in the laboratory of the Royal Institution proving to be good, and the experiments having excited a very considerable degree of interest both at home and abroad, gave encouragement to attempt the work on a more extended scale; and we have now the pleasure of stating, that alloys similar to those made in the Royal Institution have been made for the purpose of manufacture; and that they prove to be, in point of excellence, in every respect equal, if not superior to the smaller productions of the laboratory. Previous, however, to extending the work, the former experiments were carefully repeated, and to the results were added some new combinations, namely, steel with palladium,
