What does puddling mean?
Puddling refers to a process in metallurgy where impurities are removed from molten metal by stirring or agitating it. This helps to separate out and consolidate the desired components of the metal, improving its purity and strength. Puddling is often used in the production of iron and steel.

What is the importance of the puddling process?
In refining iron, and making steel, the puddling process removed impirities from crude pig iron. Until the creation of the Bessemer process, it was the best method to do this. See the link below for information on puddling.
What was puddling used for in gold fields?
Puddling was a method used to separate gold from clay and soil in gold fields. Miners would create a mixture of water, clay, and gold-rich soil in a large trough and then agitate it to separate the gold particles, which would sink to the bottom due to their high density, from the lighter materials. This process allowed miners to recover gold that would have otherwise remained bound to the clay and soil.
What is the present tense of puddle?

What did the puddling process do?
The puddling process was a method used in the 18th and 19th centuries to remove impurities from iron ore, resulting in higher quality iron. It involved heating molten iron in a reverberatory furnace and stirring it to separate out the impurities, particularly carbon. This process helped improve the quality and strength of iron used in various industries.
Why was steel used for making the Eiffel tower?
It wasn't. The Eiffel tower was made almost entirely of puddling iron, a type of wrought iron.
What is the definition of the word rabble?
It stands for the lowest class of people, such as thieves or a mob. It can also stand for an iron bar which is used to stir and skim molten iron in puddling.
What is the name of the place where iron is made?

What is the name given to a piece of metal produced in a puddling furnace?
A puddling furnace is used to convert cast or pig iron (brittle) into wrought iron (maleable) by melting the cast iron, burning off the captured carbon and rolling the spongy mass or wrought iron into a ball. This first product pulled from the furnace is a "Bloom" or "Loaf" of iron that is then shingled or hammered into a billet that can be rolled in a rolling mill to produce the wrought iron. High quality merchant bars are made by cutting apart the bars, stacking them together and reheating them to welding temperatures and repeating the shingling and rolling process.
