A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings from either ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. Metals are turned into parts by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools. The most common metal processed are aluminum and cast iron. However, other metals, such as steel, magnesium, copper, tin, and zinc, are also used to produce castings in foundries.

why coke and lime stone is used in furnaces/foundries?
Q. how lime and coke helps in heating furnaces
Asked by Anant Sane - Wed Aug 13 09:12:48 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Iron ore is a mineral called hematite which consists mainly of Fe2O3, but also has other impurities like quartz, which is silicon dioxide, SiO2. The limestone (CaCO3) reacts with the silica (SiO2) to make calcium silicate (CaSiO3) and carbon dioxide. The calcium silicate, which floats on top of the molten iron can be skimmed off and ends up as a waste product called slag. The coke, which is essentially pure carbon, reacts with the iron (III) oxide to reduce the iron to iron metal. The carbon in the coke is oxidized to carbon dioxide. 3C + 2Fe2O3 --> 4Fe + 3CO2 Balancing the redox reaction by the half-reaction method: 3(C + 2H2O --> CO2 + 4H+ + 4e-) 2(6H+ + Fe2O3 + 6e- --> 2Fe + 3H2O) --- 12H+ + 6H2O + 3C + 2Fe2O3 --> 4Fe + 3CO2 + 12H+ [cont.]

Is there a place in St Paul, MN where you can take sculpture classes without breaking the bank?
Q. I keep taking career tests and they always point me towards sculpture. I have a minor in fine arts and would like to experiment in this field but really do not have $700 to $1000 to audit sculpture classes at any of the local colleges. Is there a place such as workshops or foundries that offer less expensive classes or just workspace and the tools?

A. Knowing the general Minn-St.P environment from jealous observation over the years before and after my sister lived there, it seems likely to me that there is something. Google does not seem to be the best way to look for it, having tried a couple. I would start with those classes you can't afford and ask the instructors about workshops and craft centers that offer opportunities outside of the college - like the neighborhood craft center with large ceramic kilns down the street from me in Dallas. Our system of community colleges also has two levels of classes - the formal classes which can be audited for regular fees but also shorter workshop classes "Continuing Education" or "Community Access" or some variation. and you might check… [cont.]

Can someone tell me who to contact that would be interested in wood burning parlor or cook stoves?
Q. I have a large turquiose enamel parlor stove for sell. This stove would be perfect in a ski resort lodge or bed and breakfast because it is so large. It is a Magnificent Windsor made by Lakeside Foundry Co. in Chicage. Also I have a full size green and cream enameled cook stove by Kalamazoo, Michigan. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

A. Your best bet is a internet search to locate a seller/dealer close to you as shipping can be a major expense. Goodtimestoves.com has links and appraisal services. Try doing a query such as woodstove antique and you will be surprised at the results. I did a little research on the wood stoves that I own and found that my cookstove (similiar to your description) is valued at $3,500.00 plus. Good luck Do not get in a hurry if you want to get top dollar as they are in demand.
