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.


Who invented tin foil?

Metal foil, such as tin foil had been around for years. The first plant designed for rolling aluminum foil was opened in 1910. Aluminum foil replaced tin foil, when the "Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen" aluminum foil rolling plant in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, was opened by J.G. Neher & Sons. They discovered the "endless rolling process" together with Dr. Lauber. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

What is a rolling mill?

In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through a pair of rolls. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of the metal rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization temperature, then the process is termed as hot rolling. If the temperature of the metal is below its recrystallization temperature, the process is termed as cold rolling. In terms of usage, hot rolling processes more tonnage than any other manufacturing process and cold rolling processes the most tonnage out of all cold working processes
